Checked against ACCA’s calendar on 21 October 2026. If you are planning an ACCA exam in Pakistan, distinguish the exam week, entry deadline and your individual attendance docket. A tuition batch date is not an exam booking. Your confirmed paper, centre and reporting instructions belong in your myACCA record.
December 2026: the confirmed dates

What time does the deadline close in Pakistan?
ACCA states its listed entry deadlines as 23:59 UK time. For the November 2026 dates above, the UK is on GMT and Pakistan is five hours ahead: 23:59 on 2 November in the UK corresponds to 04:59 on 3 November in Pakistan. Use the UK deadline as the controlling reference and submit early. Payment or connection problems close to the cut-off can leave little recovery time.
Do all ACCA papers use these session dates?
No. ACCA distinguishes session-based exams from on-demand CBEs. Check the particular paper and variant before using a session timetable. On-demand availability and local booking arrangements should be confirmed through the applicable official process. Do not assume that an online course means an exam can be sat remotely.
March, June, September and December 2027
ACCA normally organises session exams around these four sittings, but paper availability, variants and confirmed deadlines must be checked for the actual session. This page does not label an estimated March 2027 date as confirmed. Use ACCA’s current calendar when your intended sitting becomes available, and keep any pending date marked as pending in your study plan.
For the qualification transition, also use ACCA’s official transition timeline. Exam entry and syllabus transition are related planning questions, but the timeline is not a substitute for an exam booking confirmation.
A booking checklist before you pay
- Confirm your paper, variant and intended session.
- Check your account position and any outstanding requirements.
- Read the available delivery and location choices.
- Check the current fee, deadline and payment confirmation.
- Keep the entry record and later attendance docket.
Plan revision backwards from the exam
Leave time for a timed attempt, marking or review, and a second attempt at weak requirements. A mock score is most useful when it leads to specific corrections. Use our mock review guide and working-student timetable to structure the remaining weeks.
What if you fail or miss a deadline?
A failed paper and a missed booking deadline need different actions. Review the result and your learning record for the former; check official entry options for the latter. An ASA resit tuition offer does not itself pay or book an ACCA examination. See our failed-paper guide and Pakistan booking checklist.
For classes for your next attempt, check the current ASA course options or ask about a paper and batch.
