The fees and exam dates for 2022/23 have been finalised by the ICB. Last year the ICB introduced online exams. Overall the online exams have been extremely successful. When these exams were introduced, students were not too keen on the idea BUT many students soon preferred online exams to paper exams.
Due to COVID restrictions, the ICB had some issues hosting exams at the physical venues and they are anticipating further lockdowns in the future.
Many exams were cancelled or postponed due to the lack of venues available. This was frustrating and to some disruptive BUT the ICB managed to introduce online exams, which they will still offer. They will also still offer paper exams for each subject at least two times in the year.
Are There Any Changes To The New Exam Dates?
These are the 5 important things to look out for:
- You can write the paper exam twice a year. This is on top of the online exams.
- Online exams will only be in the afternoon. This will allow the colleges to use their IT labs.
- You can postpone your exams. From online to paper exams and vice versa.
- Only 10 main physical ICB distance venues will be used. Further information will be provided as soon as it is available.
- Saturday face-to-face exams will be discontinued
