AAT to ACCA - Exemptions

Hi
I took four AAT Technician exams in June and am confident that I have passed them all. Currently I am completing Unit 15 as my optional unit, which seems simple enough.
The only Unit I have yet to complete, on the assumption I will pass the four June exams and Unit 15, is the Unit 10 project.
I pretty much have to enrol for the ACCA in September and have a couple of questions.
An assessor at BPP has informed me that to apply for exemptions re Unit 10 I had to have submitted it be 28th May. I then spoke with the ACCA and was informed that I can only apply for exemptions when I have the full AAT qualification, so even if I have everything passed bar Unit 10, no exemptions can be granted.
Does anyone know if this is correct? Also, is starting/finishing Unit 10 by mid-August too ambitious and now seemingly pointless?
Any advice will be much appreciated.

You do need the full AAT qualification (including Unit 10) to get any exemptions. Also, you did not have to have applied for your exemptions by 28th May. I only just applied for mine last week and it will be decided when the exam results are emailed to ACCA on 13th August. I am enrolled for ACCA, but if for some reason, I don't pass my PCR exam, I will just have to wait until January to begin. I believe the final cutoff to get your exemptions for September ACCA is to notify AAT by August 11th. I'm sure there is a thread somewhere on here about applying for exemptions. Anyone?0 -
It is not impossible to start and finish the Unit 10 project by mid August. I started and completed mine within 3 to 4 weeks. If you put your mind to it, and get on with it, you will have plenty of time!
