众所周知，从2016年9月开始，ACCA正式开始实行F5-F9科目分季机考，或许作为ACCA学员的你未必全部知晓这种新考试形式的一些变化，今天小编就给大家说一说2017年对于F5-F9分季机考的一些变化：
1、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。
2、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。
3、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”。
