To pass the examination you need a thorough understanding in all areas covered by the syllabus and teaching guide. Recommended approach (a) To pass you need to be able to answer questions on everything specified by the syllabus and teaching guide. Read the text very carefully and do not skip any of it. (b) Learning is an active process. Do all the questions as you work through the text so you can be sure you really understand what you have read. (c) After you have covered the material in the Interactive Text, work through the Question Bank, checking your answers carefully against the Answer Bank. (d) Before you take the exam, check that you still remember the material using the following quick revision plan. (i) Read through the chapter topic list at the beginning of each chapter. Are there any gaps in your knowledge? If so, study the section again. (ii) Read and learn the key terms. (iii) Look at the exam alerts. These show the ways in which topics might be examined. (iv) Read the chapter roundups, which are a summary of the fast forwards in each chapter. (v) Do the quick quizzes again. If you know what you're doing, they shouldn't take long. This approach is only a suggestion. You or your college may well adapt it to suit your needs. Remember this is a practical course. (a) Try to relate the material to your experience in the workplace or any other work experience you may have had. (b) Try to make as many links as you can to other papers at the Introductory and Intermediate levels. vi Introduction Approach to examining the syllabus Paper 1 is a two-hour paper. It is taken as a computer based examination. The questions in the computer based examination are multiple choice questions. (See page vii for frequently asked questions about computer based examinations.) Important note Past papers refer to 'doubtful debts' and the 'provision for doubtful debts'. From the December 2005 examination, these have been referred to as 'receivables allowances' or 'allowances for receivables' and this is the terminology we use in this text. The written examination consists of three sections, structured as follows: Number of marks 50 compulsory multiple choice questions of two marks each 100 Analysis of past papers Pilot paper and all past papers Fifty multiple choice questions covering various topics 100 It is important that you practice as many multiple choice questions as possible before your exam. There are questions for you to do at the end of this text and over 200 questions in the Practice and Revision Kit for CAT Paper 1. BPP I-Pass will then give you further practice in a computer environment. See over for important advice on tackling multiple choice questions Student Accountant 2006 has a useful article: Five steps to multiple choice success by Steve Widberg. You can access this article via the ACCA website. Introduction vii The Computer Based Examination The ACCA has introduced a computer based examination (CBE) for CAT Papers 1–4 (in addition to the conventional paper based examination for papers 3 and 4). Computer based examinations must be taken at an ACCA CBE Licensed Centre. How does CBE work? • Questions are displayed on a monitor • Candidates enter their answer directly onto the computer • Candidates have two hours to complete the examination • When the candidate has completed their examination, the computer automatically marks the file containing the candidate's answers • Candidates are provided with a certificate showing their results before leaving the examination room • The CBE Licensed Centre uploads the results to the ACCA (as proof of the candidate's performance) within 48 hours Benefits • Flexibility as a CBE can be sat at any time. • Resits can also be taken at any time and there is no restriction on the number of times a candidate can sit a CBE. • Instant feedback as the computer displays the results at the end of the CBE. • Results are notified to ACCA within 48 hours. • Extended closing date periods (see ACCA website for further information) CBE question types • Multiple choice – choose one answer from four options • Multiple response 1 – select more than one response by clicking the appropriate tick boxes • Multiple response 2 – select a response to a number of related part questions by choosing one option from a number of drop down menus • Number entry – key in a numerical response to a question CAT CBE You will have two hours in which to answer a number of questions, which are worth a total of 100 marks. See the ACCA website for a demonstration and up to date information (www.acca.org.uk/colleges/cbe_demo). viii Introduction Tackling Multiple Choice Questions MCQ's are now part of all CAT exams. Papers 1 and 2 are examined by CBE, Papers 3 and 4 can be taken by CBE or by a written paper which is 40% MCQs. Paper 5 is now 50% MCQ's and Papers 6-10 are 20% MCQs. All MCQs carry 2 marks. The MCQs in your exam contain four possible answers. You have to choose the option that best answers the question. The three incorrect options are called distracters. There is a skill in answering MCQs quickly and correctly. By practising MCQs you can develop this skill, giving you a better chance of passing the exam. You may wish to follow the approach outlined below, or you may prefer to adapt it. Step 1 Skim read all the MCQs and identify what appear to be the easier questions. Step 2 Attempt each question – starting with the easier questions identified in Step 1. Read the question thoroughly. You may prefer to work out the answer before looking at the options, or you may prefer to look at the options at the beginning. Adopt the method that works best for you. Step 3 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. Check that your calculation is correct. Have you followed the requirement exactly? Have you included every stage of the calculation? Step 4 You may find that none of the options matches 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 make a note and continue to the next question Step 6 Revisit unanswered questions. 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! After extensive practice and revision of MCQs, you may find that you recognise a question when you sit the exam. Be aware that the detail and/or requirement may be different. If the question seems familiar read the requirement and options carefully – do not assume that it is identical. 1 Introduction to transaction accounting PARTA 2
