Q What sort of questions can I expect to find in CBA?
Your assessment will consist entirely of a number of different types of objective test question. Here are some
possible examples.
• MCQs. Read through the information on page (xvii) about MCQs and how to tackle them.
• Data entry. This type of OT requires you to provide figures such as the correct figure for payables in a
statement of financial position.
• Multiple response. These questions provide you with a number of options and you have to identify those
which fulfil certain criteria.
This text provides you with plenty of opportunities to practise these various question types. You will find OTs
within each chapter in the text and the Quick quizzes at the end of each chapter are full of them. The Question
