Waiting 5/6 weeks for every exam seems such a long wait, especially as only 2/3 tasks in the non synoptic exams are written responses

how does this wait compare to CIMA/ACCA etc?

    In addition to this, I feel like the wait stifles your focus in preparing for your next exam. it would be great if you could get a mark for the non-written component straight away. That would give an indication of whether you've passed or not.

    ACCA student here - I can't comment on the Foundation in Accountancy exams, but for the main ACCA exams:

    F1-F4: All multiple-choice questions, marked and result given immediately upon completion. Exams can be booked at various test centres at any time the student wishes to.
    F5-F9 & all P papers: exams can be booked only at specific test centres during the specified exam week, and all results nation-wide are published exactly 6 weeks after the exam week. (which is the first full week of March, June, September, or December)

    For example, the ACCA exams that took place in the first week of December will have all results published on Monday 13 January.

    *has fingers crossed for his own results* xD
