ACA Professional Level Exam Remote Invigilation

To whoever sat the ACA professional level exams remotely, how do they invigilate? Do they only use the camera on your laptop or your phone as well? I’m worried my phone battery won’t last three hours and then I’ll be booted from the exam!

They use both the camera on your laptop and phone from behind / to the side of you. They ask you to put it on charge, I'd recommend finding something stable you can prop your phone on and keep it on charge at the same time.

You can also use a monitor, but you can only use one screen i.e. if your camera is on the laptop then you can have it to the side of the monitor facing you but then black out the laptop one - this is stated in the rules now https://www.icaew.com/-/media/corporate/files/for-current-aca-students/apply-for-exams/pl-and-al-remote-invigilation-instructions-to-candidates.ashx?la=en
