Get into good exam habits now!

Take a moment to focus on the right approach for this exam.

Effective exam technique

The following steps are recommended for answering multiple choice and objective test questions.

Step 1

Note down how long you should allocate to each question. For this paper you will be
answering 50 questions in 120 minutes, so you will be spending on average 2.5 minutes on
each 2 mark question and 1 minute on each 1 mark question. Remember however that you will
not be expected to spend an equal amount of time on each of them and that some can be
answered instantly but others will take time to work out.

Step 2

Attempt each question. Read the question thoroughly.

Step 3

To answer a multiple choice question read the four options and see if one matches your own
answer. Be careful with numerical questions, as the distracters are designed to match answers
that incorporate common errors.

Step 4

If you are unsure of your answer.

Re-read the question to ensure that you understand it and are answering the
requirement

Eliminate any obviously wrong answers

Consider which of the remaining answers is the most likely to be correct and select
the option

Step 5

If you are still unsure, continue to the next question. Likewise if you are nowhere near
working out which option is correct after a couple of minutes, leave the question and come
back to it later.

Step 6

Revisit questions you are uncertain about. When you come back to a question after a break
you often find you are able to answer it correctly straight away. If you are still unsure have a
guess. You are not penalised for incorrect answers, so never leave a question unanswered!

To help improve your performance you should focus on these key areas.

Terminology
This paper tests your understanding of a large number of key terms and definitions. Learning as many
of these as you can will help save you time in the exam which you can use to answer questions that
require more thought. Your Study Text provides you with assistance by highlighting these terms and
definitions.

Question spotting
Avoid the temptation to question spot or to assume certain areas of the syllabus will be examined in a
particular way. Ensure you are able to answer questions across the syllabus in a number of question
styles as this will maximise the number of questions that you will be able to attempt successfully.

What went wrong?

OK, you're not going to get 100% correct, but pay attention when you consistently get certain areas of
the syllabus wrong. This is your cue to revise these areas fully, learn from your mistakes, AND NEVER
REPEAT THEM!

IAS 2 does not permit the use of LIFO.

A bank deposit account is already cash, but inventory must be sold and receivables pay their
balance due before cash is received.

It was debited instead of credited, so the effect is doubled.

In Options B and C the double entry has been preserved, even though not in the correct
accounts. In Option D the trial balance discrepancy would be $2,000 ($1,000 credited instead
of $1,000 debited). In Option A the $500 is credited to purchase instead of being debited to
non-current assets, and the discrepancy is therefore 2 x $500 = $1,000
