You hold conditional exemptions.
You cannot demonstrate currency of knowledge. This means it is more than 10 years from your first examination pass or exemption being granted, and you have not passed 3 ACCA examinations (at Applied Skills or Strategic Professional level) in the 5 years before submission of your RAP.

The BSc degree classification will be based on both:
The ACCA average mark will be calculated by taking the numerical average of the marks achieved in the Applied Skills exams that you have sat and passed.
Where the calculated average mark is not a whole number, the calculated average will be rounded up or down accordingly. If you have been given an exemption from any of the Corporate and Business Law (LW), Performance Mangement (PM) or Taxation (TX) exams, no mark is available and so will not be included in the calculation of the ACCA average mark.
The class of degree for each combination of ACCA average mark and Research and Analysis Project grade is shown below.
