Quick answer: An ACCA® mock test is a timed practice exam. It shows how ready you are before you book the real one. This free mock gives you 30 original questions on Business and Technology (BT), Management Accounting (MA) or Financial Accounting (FA), with a 45-minute timer. You then see your score against ACCA’s 50% pass mark, your weak syllabus areas and a worked explanation for every question.
The real BT, MA and FA exams are longer. Each lasts two hours and is worth 100 marks. In India you sit them as on-demand computer-based exams at a licensed centre.
Each of the three Applied Knowledge exams lasts two hours and is worth 100 marks. Section A has objective test questions, which are short questions with set answers to pick from. Section B has multi-task questions, which are longer questions split into several linked parts. Every question is compulsory, and a computer marks your answers.
| Paper | Exam time | Section A | Section B | This free mock |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BT Business and Technology | 2 hours | 46 objective test questions (16 × 1 mark, 30 × 2 marks) = 76 marks | 6 multi-task questions × 4 marks = 24 marks | 30 questions, 45 minutes |
| MA Management Accounting | 2 hours | 35 objective test questions × 2 marks = 70 marks | 3 multi-task questions × 10 marks = 30 marks | 30 questions, 45 minutes |
| FA Financial Accounting | 2 hours | 35 objective test questions × 2 marks = 70 marks | 2 multi-task questions × 15 marks = 30 marks | 30 questions, 45 minutes |
This 45-minute mock is a quick health check on Section A-style questions, not a two-hour full rehearsal.
The format comes from ACCA’s “essentials on one page” guide for each paper, checked in October 2026. Think of this mock as a net session before a cricket match. It sharpens the same skills, but the match itself is longer and has more types of delivery.
You need 50% to pass BT, MA and FA. ACCA sets the pass mark at “50 per cent for all exams”, so you need 50 marks out of 100. In this 30-question mock, the same line sits at 15 correct answers. A blank answer scores zero here, so always pick an option before time runs out.
Treat 50% as the floor, not the goal, because the real exam also has multi-task questions. Your result splits your score by syllabus area, which is one block of the official syllabus, such as “Budgeting” in MA. A low area score shows what to revise first.
BT, MA and FA are on-demand computer-based exams (CBEs). On-demand means you choose your own exam date instead of waiting for a fixed exam session. In India you sit them at a licensed CBE centre, not at home. ACCA has withdrawn remote exams in countries that have exam centres, and India is one of them.
It works like booking a driving test slot. You pick a date that suits you, contact the centre, sit the exam there and pay the centre directly. QuintEdge runs an on-demand CBE centre in Mumbai. The fee is ₹18,880 (₹16,000 + 18% GST, India’s goods and services tax), and it includes the ACCA exam fee (checked October 2026). You can book an ACCA CBE seat in Mumbai once your mock scores are steady.
Later ACCA papers mostly run in fixed exam sessions instead. For those, see the live deadlines on our ACCA exam dates page.
Every question has four options and one correct answer. QuintEdge wrote all of them for this tool, in the style of ACCA’s objective test questions. Each paper’s 30 questions cover every area of its syllabus, with at least three questions per area. BT and MA have six areas each (BT’s include professional ethics), and FA has eight. Each question is labelled easy, medium or hard. Most wrong options are common slips, and each explanation says why they are wrong.
Here is the kind of MA working you will see. Illustrative: a print shop pays ₹10,000 a month in rent, plus ₹2 of paper and ink per card. In a month it prints 1,000 cards. Total cost is ₹10,000 + (1,000 × ₹2) = ₹12,000, so each card costs ₹12. If it prints 2,000 cards, the cost per card falls to ₹7, because the same rent is spread over more cards.
The rent is a fixed cost, like a monthly phone plan you pay however much you use it. The paper and ink are a variable cost, because they rise with every card.
In the real BT, MA and FA exams you get 120 minutes for 100 marks. That is 1.2 minutes per mark, or about 2.4 minutes for a two-mark question. This mock gives you 45 minutes for 30 questions, which is 1.5 minutes each. It is a little tighter than the real exam, so finishing on time here is a good sign.
Check your pace at the halfway point. Illustrative: after 24 minutes you should be near question 16, because 24 ÷ 1.5 = 16. If you are still on question 10, flag the slow question with the star and move on. You can come back to it from the question palette.
Use the mock as a check-up, not as your only practice. Sit it once with no notes. Read the explanation for every wrong answer. Revise your weakest syllabus area, then retake the paper, because questions and options reshuffle each time. When you pass comfortably, move on to ACCA’s own specimen exam, which includes multi-task questions.
Not always. ACCA gives exemptions, which let you skip a paper you have already covered in a relevant degree or qualification. Commerce graduates often qualify for some Applied Knowledge exemptions, depending on the university and degree. ACCA decides each case and charges a fee for each exemption. Check your likely exemptions before you start studying.
ACCA’s India price list shows £84 per Applied Knowledge exemption. That is about ₹10,742, illustrative at £1 = ₹127.89. This is the reference rate set on 9 Oct 2026 by FBIL (Financial Benchmarks India Ltd, which publishes India’s official reference exchange rates). We checked these figures in October 2026. Your bank or card may add its own charges. Try our free ACCA Exemption Calculator to see which papers you may skip.
Yes. The mock, the score and the full review are free. When you finish, a short form asks for your name, email and phone, and your result shows at once. A QuintEdge counsellor may call if you want help planning your ACCA exams.
No. QuintEdge wrote all 90 questions for this tool, 30 for each paper. They follow the style of ACCA’s objective test questions but are not copied from ACCA. For official practice, use the specimen exams and practice tests on ACCA’s website.
BT has 46 objective test questions and 6 multi-task questions. MA has 35 objective test questions and 3 multi-task questions. FA has 35 objective test questions and 2 multi-task questions. Each exam lasts two hours and is worth 100 marks.
The pass mark is 50% for every ACCA exam, so you need 50 out of 100 marks. This mock uses the same 50% line as a practice mark: 15 correct answers out of 30.
Yes, as often as you like. Each attempt shuffles the order of the questions and of the options. You see the same 30 questions for that paper, so a retake shows whether you have fixed your weak areas.
No. ACCA has withdrawn remote exams in countries that have exam centres, and India has them. You book an on-demand computer-based exam at a licensed centre, such as the QuintEdge CBE centre in Mumbai.
When the 45 minutes end, your answers lock and the mock marks what you answered. If you refresh, your progress stays saved in that browser tab and you can resume. The clock never pauses, even while you are away or the score form shows. If you refresh after clicking Finish, the mock counts as finished.
This mock test is a free practice tool by QuintEdge. It is not ACCA’s official practice platform, and its questions are QuintEdge’s own, not ACCA’s. ACCA sets the real exams, pass marks and fees, and ACCA confirms exemptions and fees. Rupee figures are illustrative.
