f5-9 分季机考变化
we’re making some changes to our session cbes from march 2017 to provide students with more flexibility in their exam choices and continue to ensure all students receive a fair and equal exam.
从2017年3月起我们将对分季机考做出一些变化，以便为学员提供更大的考试选择灵活性，继续确保所有学员都能公平公正地参加考试。
increasing flexibility – two exam sittings per day
增加灵活性——每天两场考试
at exam centres across the uk and europe, students will be able to select an exam time that best suits them as exams across these countries will have two start times – providing even more flexibility to our exam schedule.
在英国和欧洲的考试中心，学员将能够选择最适合他们的考试时间，因为这些国家的考试中心将设置两个开考时间，为我们的考试时间安排提供更大的灵活性。
two students taking the same exam may face a different set of questions, just as they do in our on-demand cbes. we will be using industry standard techniques to make sure all students sit a secure and equivalent exam, and continue to receive results which remain fair and reliable.
参加同一门考试的两名学员可能会被分配到不同的试题，与f1-4随时机考中的情况一样。我们将采用行业标准做法，确保所有学员都能在安全公平的环境下参加考试，取得公正可靠的考试成绩。
exam duration increasing to three hours 20 minutes
考试时长增至3小时20分
students taking session cbes will now have three hours 20 minutes to complete the exam (plus up to 10 minutes to read the exam instructions), as we are introducing additional questions to session cbes. these extra questions are referred to by the technical term ‘seeded questions’ and do not contribute to a student’s result but are added to ensure all exams now and in the future are fair and equal.
由于我们在f5-9分季机考中增加了题目，学员现在将有3小时20分钟来完成考试（外加至多10分钟时间用来阅读考试要求）。这些新增试题专业术语称为“种子题”，不计入学员的考试成绩，但可以确保当前和未来所有考试的公平和公正性。
as a result, starting march 2017, session cbes will contain 110 marks of exam content:
因此，从2017年3月开始，f5-9分季机考将包含110分的考试内容：
·100 marks contributing to the student result, and
· 100分计入学员成绩
·10 marks of seeded content which will not contribute to a student’s overall mark.
· 10分种子题不计入学员成绩
the 10 marks of seeded content will either be randomly distributed within section a of the exam, five single ot questions, or within section b of the exam, five ot questions based around a single scenario. students will not be able to determine which questions are the seeded content and all questions are quality assured and set to the same standard as the rest of the exam.
10分种子题将随机分配至试题a部分的五个独立客观题中，或试题b部分围绕单一情境设置的五个客观题中。学员无法判定哪些题目是种子题，所有题目都经过质量保证，并根据与考试其他部分题同等的标准进行设置。
what do students need to do?
学员需要做什么？
students prepare for these exams in exactly the same way as before, answering all of the questions to the best of their ability. the additional time for the exam will mean that students have exactly the same time for each questions. further information about these changes that will take effect from march 2017 are in the faqs below.
学员只需要像往常一样为这些科目备考，在回答问题时发挥出个人最好的水准。答题时间的增加意味着学员可以在每个题目上投入同等的时间。这些变化将从2017年3月起生效，更多信息见下文中的“常见问题解答”。
changes to session cbes: faqs
f5-9分季机考变化：常见问题解答
什么是“种子题”？what is ‘seeding’?
the practice of ‘seeding’ is the inclusion of questions in an exam that do not contribute to a student’s result.
“种子题”即在考试中新增一些题目，但这些题目不计入学员的成绩。
seeded content is a best practice method of ensuring that our students continue to sit fair and equal exams, and receive reliable results. this is another reason why the acca qualification will continue to be recognised on more education frameworks and by more regulators and professional bodies than any other accountancy body - keeping our students and members relevant and in-demand.
种子题是确保学员公平公正地参加考试，并获得真实可靠成绩的一种最佳实践。这也是为什么与其他会计组织相比，acca专业资格更受教育框架、监管机构和专业组织的认可，它使我们的学员和会员与时俱进，备受青睐。
why has acca introduced seeding and other exam security methods?
为什么acca要引入种子题和其他考试安全措施？
seeding is one element of acca’s approach to ensuring all exams are fair. many professional bodies within and outside of the accountancy sector have adopted this approach.
种子题是acca确保所有考试的公平性的一种方法。许多会计行业内以及其他行业的专业组织都采用这种方法。
seeded questions are included in the exam for quality assurance and security purposes. our exam security and quality assurance arrangements, including students receiving different questions within the same exam, allow us to offer session cbes at multiple times and venues across the world without compromising the standard or security of the exam. by adopting this approach we can be sure that all exams are balanced to an equal standard, not put any students at unfair advantage and continue to offer the number one professional accountancy qualification.
种子题的纳入旨在确保考试的质量和安全。我们的考试安全和质量保证体系使我们能够在不同时间和不同场所提供分季机考，同时保证考试的高标准和安全性，具体措施包括给参加同一门考试的学员分配不同的试卷。通过这些方法，我们可以确保所有考试都保持相同的标准，不会将任何一位学员置于不利位置，继续为学员提供首屈一指的专业会计师资格。
will i know which questions are the ‘seeded content’?
我会知道哪些题目是“种子题”吗？
the 10 marks of seeded content will either be one objective test (ot) case (five ot questions based around a single scenario) or five singular ots. students will not be informed and will not be able to determine which questions are the seeded questions, as they are randomly distributed within the exam.
10分种子题可以是客观案例题（根据单一情境设置的五个客观题目），也可以是五个独立的客观题。种子题将被随机分配在考试题目中，学员不会被告知哪些题目是种子题，也无法自主判定。
how can i be assured that seeded questions will not disadvantage me in my exam?
我怎样才能确保这些种子题不会让我在考试中处于劣势？
the exam will be 3 hours and 20 minutes. three hours of this is allocated to the marked exam and 20 minutes for the seeded questions. students will not be disadvantaged as they have been allocated the extra time to complete these questions. all questions in the exam, including the seeded questions, have been quality assured by our examining teams and been set to the same standard as the rest of the exam.
考试时长为3小时20分。3小时用于计分题目，20分钟用于种子题。这些种子题不会给学员带来不利影响，因为已经为他们分配了额外的时间来完成这些题目。试卷中的所有题目，包括种子题都得到了考试组的同样的质量保障，且根据与考试其他部分题相同的标准进行设置。
do i need to study or revise any different material that i would otherwise for that exam?
在备考过程中，我是否还需要学习或复习其他材料？
no, the seeded questions, like the other questions in the exam, can be taken from any syllabus area so students should continue to study and revise the entire syllabus guide for both the paper and computer based exam.
不需要，种子题就像试卷中的其他题目一样，可以出自课程大纲的任何部分，所以学员在笔试和机考的备考过程中，应继续全面学习和复习教学大纲指南的所有内容。
why have seeding and other exam security measures been introduced in computer based exams and not paper-based exams for f5–f9?
为什么在机考中引入了种子题和其他考试安全措施，却没有在f5 - f9科目的笔试中引入此类措施？
the paper-based exams have a robust quality assurance process that is appropriate for that mode of delivery. unlike the paper-based exams, session cbes at some locations will be available at multiple times during the day. as a result, different quality assurance measures are required to ensure that all students receive a fair result.
笔试科目已经拥有了适于该考试形式的稳健质量保证流程。与笔试不同，某些地方的f5-9分季机考将在一天中的多个时间段进行。因此，必须通过不同的质量保证措施来确保所有学生都能获得公平的成绩。
