ICB has decided to move their exams online in 2021. This does not mean that the ICB exams are only offered online. Students can still complete their regular paper-based exams. Students are given these (2) two options:
- Online exams
- Paper-based exams
Online Exams
These exams were created due to the global pandemic. ICB was looking for alternative ways to keep their students safe. Online exams allow students to complete the exam from anywhere in the world. Students who choose this option need to keep in mind that they should have a stable internet connection to use Chrome.
These exams are (3) three hours long and setting up takes 30 minutes. Online exams are completed between 01:00 pm to 04:30 pm.
