final exams tips n resources (2 Viewers)

They have a tendency to reuse past papers in Accg100. Or should I say, "the" past paper. In the Econ110 forum, someone posted saying that they use the same one every year. Like, they crossed out a question in our year because we didn't cover the same topics.

As for long answers, in Econ111, they recommended 3 pages, I dunno bout 110, tho.

Q1: conceptual framework questions like the ones u find in ur txtbook where u are told an event and the transaction, n u gotta spot out wat they did wrong n wat they shouldve done. they'll be like 5 of those.

Q2: Internal control question. Prolly sumfin on how a cinema manages its tickets and cash collecting. You gotta write a 1 page long answer on evaluating its system and wat u would do.

for the conceptual framework stuff is it like they misreported assests and stuff or is it more complex?..cos i dun remember doing anything like that during tutes.
also for the loner answer question can we answer it in point form( with enough detail) or do they want a full essay response?

ok thanks!
hey about the exams..since we can't take our bags and stuff in with us where do we put our stuff? someone told me that we put them in E7B but since my exams are in the gym isn't that a bit far away?...is there another place? also can we bring our wallets in with us or not?

 

[~ForAGoodCause~]

u can put em in the gym, or mac theatre or e7b .... if u read the thingo info where u got ur timetable, itll tell ya

 

[*hopeful*]

but r we allowed 2 take like a pencil case in with us ? or absolutely nothing

 

[-=«MÄLÅÇhïtÊ»=-]

u can take pencil case. might be asked to put it on ground. u can bring in drink and in some hard subjects brain food and drugs. stretcher would also be good if u collapse after exam so they can carry u out wihout doing any spinal damage.

This was what we were told in our last lecture last year... I think besides what -=«MČŇhﴊ»=-, the only addition I can think of is the thing with incomplete data, the periodic/perpetual question where they ask about difference (and you just memorise the tute), and learn closing entries cos I lost about 5% for laziness..

Hope that helps.

Btw, there is no guarentee that Alex will ask the same questions

 

[AsyLum]

/me cries cos noone does his subjects

 

[flyin']

Don't worry, you can help other people.. when I did my subjects way back when, no one helped me =p

 

[doe]

[doe]
