Students need to be registered with the AAT before they attempt their first assessment.

Students will receive an informal indication of their result immediately after attempting an exam for most of the AAT modules covered at Levels 2 & 3. A formal result will be notified to them by the AAT shortly after sitting the exam.

The Using Accountancy Software module within Level 2 and the Synoptic Assessments at each level takes up to 6 weeks before results are released by the AAT.

All Level 4 exams take approximately 6 weeks to mark by the AAT. An instantaneous result is not possible currently at this level since all CBA’s will include extended written tasks and these will still be marked by AAT markers.

Students will be able to sit a retake with McArthurMorgan (if relevant) after a cooling off period (3 working days) of their previous attempt.
