Engage Education - Trial Exam Papers

[Damoz.G]

Just giving everyone a heads up. With the Engage Trial Exam Papers, be careful with the correct setting out of the Questions and the Solutions.

I was doing one of their Papers, and the setting out a Pre-Adjusted Trial Balance was wrong. I can't remember which account it was (I think it was Discount Revenue), and it was on the Debit column. I E-Mailed engage about the error a couple of months ago, and they said they would fix it. Hopefully they have by now.

For the solutions, the answer for the recording of a Stock Gain was incorrect. Hopefully they have fixed this error as well.

Trial Exams are obviously good, and obviously we need to do them to get more and more practice, but just be careful. If there is something you think don't seem correct, it's always best to ask your Teacher. My Accounting Teacher marks the VCAA Accounting Exams, so I can always ask her anything.

If you want to, I'm happy to pass on any Questions you may have to my Teacher, and I can give you her response ASAP.

REMEMBER: We all make mistakes, even examiners.

A lot of trial exam solutions are littered with mistakes - especially for stock cards!

[Damoz.G]

Good guy  Damoz have you started doing practice exams yet mate ?

Thanks bud.

Yeah, I've gotten through about 6 or 7 Unit 3 Practice Exams. Gonna start my Unit 4, and Units 3&4 Combined Exams very soon as well.

All trial exams from tssm, engage education foundation have most of the solution booklets with the wrong solutions. and anyway they are too simple. there is nothing challenging about the questions compared to the vcaa past exams. I suggest doing neap, TSFX, insight or the QATs trial exams instead they are much more challenging and have similar questions to vcaa past exams. - this is what my accounting teacher said.


Damoz could you ask your accounting teacher how many topics will be covered in the vcaa Accounting exam this year and how many questions will be in the exam this year.

Damoz could you ask your accounting teacher how many topics will be covered in the vcaa Accounting exam this year and how many questions will be in the exam this year.

Certainly. I have tomorrow off, so I'll ask her on Wednesday when I have Accounting next.

She could probably tell me how many questions there will be, but I don't think she will tell me how many topics. Either way, I'll ask and see how I go.

For some reason, I can't log into my other Account, and I  couldn't do "Forget your Password" because I didn't change the E-Mail Address for it. It was an Old Email that I don't use anymore and got rid of it. =/

So I made a new account.

there are 11 questions worth 100 marks

I asked my Acc teacher today, and this is correct. It will be very similar to the practice exam published by VCAA on the VCAA Past Exams for Acc.

Are NEAP, TSFX and all doing the combined 3/4 Accounting Practice Exams this year?

[harshilgupta]

Are NEAP, TSFX and all doing the combined 3/4 Accounting Practice Exams this year?

yes they are doing combined exams this year and so is insight and QAT

[harshilgupta]

I asked my Acc teacher today, and this is correct. It will be very similar to the practice exam published by VCAA on the VCAA Past Exams for Acc.

Could you then ask her how many parts to each question there will be

[abcdqdxD]

Exam will be out of 100 marks but the number of questions is unknown. Just because the sample exam has 11 questions does not mean the end of year exam will also have 11 questions.

Teachers and assessors will not have seen the exam beforehand. The chief assessor will see the exam 30 minutes after writing time begins.
