The CFA August 2026 exam window is under way across all three levels. Here are the exact dates for each level, plus the exam-day essentials to sort out now so nothing trips you up at the test centre.

CFA August 2026 exam dates

If you are sitting Level 1 or Level 2 in the next couple of weeks, now is the time to lock down the logistics.

Exam-day checklist

• Confirm your exact appointment date and test centre in your CFA Institute account.
• Check your ID matches your registration name exactly - a mismatch is a common reason candidates are turned away.
• Re-read the exam-day admission and appointment rules (what you can bring, arrival time, calculator policy).
• Plan your route and arrival so you are early rather than rushing.

When are results released?

CFA Institute releases results several weeks after each window closes - broadly around 8 to 10 weeks for Levels 1 and 2 and about 10 weeks for Level 3. CFA Institute confirms the exact results date for each window, so check your candidate account for your specific date rather than relying on an estimate.

Keeping your recall sharp between now and exam day helps - practise free finance and CFA-style questions on Professional Career Club, with instant feedback and no signup needed.

Dates are as published by CFA Institute and can change; confirm your appointment and exam-day rules in your official CFA Institute candidate account.

Everything you need for the ACCA September 2026 exam sitting in one place: the exam week, entry deadlines, when and how to get your results, the papers on offer, a final-weeks study plan, and the next sitting after this one. All dates are shown in UK time and were cross-checked against ACCA's published schedule.

ACCA September 2026 key dates at a glance

Can you still enter for September 2026?

No. Both entry windows have closed (standard on 27 July, late on 3 August 2026). If you are already booked, your focus now is preparation and, from 19 October, your results. If you missed this sitting, the next opportunity is the December 2026 sitting (dates below).

Which papers are examined in September?

ACCA exams sit within three levels:

• Applied Knowledge: Business and Technology (BT), Management Accounting (MA) and Financial Accounting (FA). These, along with Corporate and Business Law (LW) in most regions, are on-demand computer-based exams you can take year-round, not only in the session.
• Applied Skills: Performance Management (PM), Taxation (TX), Financial Reporting (FR), Audit and Assurance (AA) and Financial Management (FM) are session exams held in the September sitting.
• Strategic Professional: Strategic Business Leader (SBL) and Strategic Business Reporting (SBR), plus two Options papers chosen from Advanced Financial Management (AFM), Advanced Performance Management (APM), Advanced Taxation (ATX) and Advanced Audit and Assurance (AAA).

Exam fees vary by paper, by whether you entered at the standard or late deadline, and by region. Always confirm the current fee for your paper in your myACCA account before booking.

How and when to check your September 2026 results

Results are released on 19 October 2026. Sign in to your myACCA account to see your result; ACCA also emails you when results go live (set your notification preferences in myACCA). Each exam is marked out of 100, and 50 is the pass mark.

Final-weeks study plan

• Practise full questions under timed conditions. Passing ACCA is as much about exam technique and timing as knowledge.
• Prioritise the big, examinable areas of your paper rather than trying to cover everything.
• Sit at least one full mock to the clock, then review every mistake.
• Check your exam docket in myACCA before the sitting for your time, papers and on-screen requirements.

Missed it? ACCA December 2026 sitting dates

Dates are shown in UK time and were verified against ACCA's published schedule. Fees and deadlines can change, so confirm the details for your papers in myACCA before you book.

Planning to sit the FRM November 2026 exam? The early-bird rate has already closed, and the standard registration fee of $800 closes on September 30, 2026 — after which you'll lose the chance to register for this window. The Part 1 exam runs Nov 14–20 and Part 2 runs Nov 21–25, with the final rescheduling deadline on Oct 24.

Enrol or complete your registration on GARP's official FRM page: GARP — FRM Exam Registration. Book early to lock in your preferred date and centre before slots fill.

CFA candidates, exam season is on. The Level III window runs Aug 13–17, followed by Level I (Aug 18–24) and Level II (Aug 25–29). Now is the moment to confirm your appointment time and test centre, review the Prometric ID and calculator rules, and plan to arrive early — admission is strict and last-minute changes are limited.

Manage your appointment and review exam-day policies through your CFA Institute candidate account: CFA Program Candidate Resources. Results are typically released within 5–9 weeks and will appear here: CFA Exam Results.

If you sat a CPA Exam section and the AICPA received your data by 15 August 2026, your target score release date is 25 August 2026. Here is what to expect and when to check.

CPA score release schedule (2026)

Scores are typically posted on NASBA's CPA portal within about 48 hours of the target date. Some state boards add extra processing time before you can see your score, and the exact timing can vary from person to person due to quality-control checks.

How to check your score

Have your NASBA or state-board login ready before release day so you are not scrambling. Your score appears in your NASBA CPA Candidate Account (or your state board's portal), and the AICPA cannot score your section until it has received your file from Prometric.

Missed the August 15 cutoff?

The next Core-section target release dates are 15 September (data in by 7 September) and 9 October (data in by 30 September). Check the official NASBA score page for your jurisdiction's specifics, as Discipline-section dates and some boards can differ.

While you wait, keep your skills sharp with free accounting and finance practice questions on Professional Career Club, with instant feedback and no signup needed.

Dates are as published by NASBA and AICPA and can change; confirm your jurisdiction's schedule on the official NASBA score page.

The ACCA September 2026 exam sitting is almost here, and if you have not booked yet, time is running short. The standard entry deadline has already passed, which leaves only the late entry window, and that closes in early August. Late entry also carries a higher exam fee, so booking sooner rather than later saves you money as well as stress. To book, log in to your myACCA account, pick your exam and session, choose your centre or remote option, and pay the fee. Because the exact deadline can vary slightly by exam and region, confirm the precise date on the official ACCA exam entry page before you count on it. Once you are booked, switch your focus to timed practice on the papers you are sitting. Missing the late deadline usually means waiting for the December session, so do not leave it to chance.

With the ICAI CA Intermediate September 2026 timetable released, the exams are now only weeks away, and the next milestone for candidates is the admit card. ICAI usually releases admit cards roughly two weeks before the exams begin, on its official eServices portal. This is the moment to lock down your final revision plan, work through full-length mock tests under timed conditions, and sort your exam-day logistics such as centre, ID and reporting time. Log in to the ICAI portal and double-check your personal details so nothing trips you up when the admit card drops. For the confirmed date sheet and admit-card release, rely on official ICAI announcements rather than third-party dates. A calm, structured final fortnight beats last-minute cramming every time.
