April, June 2020 Exams

The April and June exams were cancelled by the ABS, but a group of 24 candidates over three days had a pilot virtual exam in June.
As of 13 September, the ABS is running all exams in 2020-2021 as remote teleconferencing exams. That means scaling up the volume of exams from 8 a day to 100 a day.
