Hi Martin,
Just realised you are about to take the level II computer exam, I did mine few days ago, so here it goes:
you can book your exam paper online, and ICB will send out by post on Friday, you then might receive the exam paper on Saturday (if the post runs as normal), then you will be given two whole week to complete the tasks and need to return your finished reports back to ICB by the date required on your exam paper, strongly recommend you post is as recorded mail or special delivery - so you have a proof that you have returned within the asked time.
In terms of time allowance, please do not worry, I finished my report in one day and Natalie here did it in 3 days and she has 4 children! so you will be OK. But I would say choose a account software carefully, and make sure it does print out all the possible reports you may be asked, as there are so many software out there, I used Sage 50 and think it is great.
I would also recommend you to keep a copy of your reports sent, just in case it got lost or something, and once ICB receive your reports, they will email you and tell you, and you can check your "member area" on the ICB website to keep in track, they will update it regularly so you know what they are doing for you - they are very efficient and professional. I am still waiting for my result at the moment...
All personal experience, hope this helps
Good Luck!
Anna
