That was the accounting syllabus. Now I know this all may sound scary and complex, but in
reality it’s not. This class is an easy A all you have to do is listen. Accounting deals
with the basics of math so you don't have to worry there aren't any big Algebra type
problems to confuse or bug you. You learn how to keep track of expenses, assets,
liabilities, and owner’s equity. It’s fun and easy if you pay attention to what you’re
being taught, have a good attitude about it, and work hard. There are a lot of tests, but
don't let that scare you because they are fairly easy.The tests are large, but that’s
actually good. They’re not large in the sense of 100 questions, but the average points
possible for a test is usually over 100 points.
Here an example of the break up of points and questions of a test:
Question Type
# of Questions
Points Possible
True or False
20

Multiple Choice
7

Worksheets
4 Sheets
123
I know 4 worksheets sounds like a lot and it kind of is, but the worksheets in the test
are a lot easier than you’d think. All you’re doing is the exact same thing that you were
being taught for the whole chapter. So if you did really well on the practice problems
you’ll do great on a test. The best part of having tests worth so many points is it makes
it easier to get a higher score. Look at it this way: you get 10 wrong on a test worth 50
points that’s 80% correct but, you get 10 wrong on a test worth 150 points and that’s a
93.3% correct; so there is a definite plus to having tests worth so much.
