Hey everyone,
does anybody by any chance have experience with extension requests in terms of the applicable 18 month credit period?
Reading this great forum I learned that there is an option to apply for extension (e.g. by means of “sympathy letter” – by the way, very helpful hint). Accordingly, I checked with my BoA and they confirmed to me such an option. However, they told me that such an extension will only be granted in case of either serious illness, natural disaster or dead of family member and evidence thereof (according to BoA regulation). Hence, other plausible reasons (e.g. moving abroad due to job change and beeing in probitionary period and/ or heavy workload due to job responsibilies) would not be considered.
It would be interesting to know your thoughts on this. Especially, i would like to know if only my BoA is that strict in that terms. If you were succesful in your attempt, it would be very helpful to learn about the reasons that you provided. Overall, any comment, support or hint is more than welcomed. Many thanks in advance!
To make a long story short, I will loose credit for the first two sections in addition to my last part outstanding, if I cannot get an extension (or god giving me a passing grade for the last part). Besides additional (oversea) travel cost, renewal and/ or change of review system cost and all applicable fees, I would then need to retake two sections in 2011 (facing the changes to the exam (e.g. IFRS)), since I can only make one exam section in november this year due to job duties. Thus, i would for instance consider to switch to a milder BoA (if any), if i cannot convince mine.
Again, any support is highly appreciated, while I am pretty desperate about this issue (as you can tell). Thx.
