snails291 Posted December 5 Report Share Posted December 5 WHEN I WAS I N SCHOOL A FEW YEARS AGO, MOST OF MY ACCOUNTING EXAMS THAT WERE SCANT-RON WERE HARD AS HELL.. I GRADUATED WITH A B.S. IN ACCOUNTING, SO BELIEVE ME I TOOK THEM ALL THE CLASSES PEOPLE DREAD. BUT FOR THE MOST PART, EVER QUESTION THAT WAS MULTIPLE CHOICE ALL THE ANSWERS COULD BE CORRECT DEPENDING HOW YOU WENT ABOUT ANSWERING IT.. THESE TEACHERS ARE SMART, SO THEY KNOW THAT THEY TRICK YOU BY GIVING YOU CHOICES THAT MAKE SENSE IF YOU HAPPEN DO GO ABOUT SOLVING THE PROBLEM THE WRONG WAY... YOU HAVE TO STUDY, THERE IS NO WAY AROUND IT, BUT JUST MAKE SURE YOU STUDY AS MANY EXAMPLE AS YOU POSSIBLE CAN AT THE END OF THE CHAPTERS. AND TAKE NOTE OF ANY EXAMPLES THE TEACHER MIGHT EMPHISIS ON MORE THAN OTHERS......GOOD LUCK BRO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTACbKA Posted December 5 Report Share Posted December 5 i dont know if that is the same, but my prof. gave several LONG problems with a bunch of answers provided for each. You had to solve the problem, show ALL work, and have the answer you got match one of the provided ones. She looked at both, and gave partial credit. I mean, this kind of multiple choice DID NOT make the test any easier. Opposite, the incorrect answers that she gave were what you could have gotten if you made a "common" mistake. It sucks, imagine, you solve the problem, get the answer that matches one of the given ones, and it ends up to be a wrong one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snails291 Posted December 5 Report Share Posted December 5 WE'LL MOST OF THE HARDER PROBLEMS I ENCOUNTERED SUCH AS THE ONES I EXPLAINED WERE MOSTING IN INTERMEDIATE ACCOUNTING I AND II... THESE ARE THE CLASSES THAT JUST ACCOUNTING MAJORS HAVE TO TAKE. IF YOUR JUST IN FINANCE, YOU STICK MOSTLY TO JUST THE BASICS LIKE FINANCIAL AND MANAGERIAL( EASY CLASSES). MANAGERIAL AND FINANCIAL MOSTLY ALL BUSINESS MAJOR HAVE TO TAKE AND PASS, SO USUALLY THE COURSE ITSELF ISN'T THAT BAD.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudeboyyouth Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 There are so many business and computer majors, and reasonably so. I began college as an accounting major; I took principles I, II, and intermediate I. After that I got tired of it and decided that I couldn't last in an accounting career. Too monotonous for me.

loch Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 accounting doesn't have to be a career. major in it. get a job doing it for a couple of years. then branch out, move out or move up in mgmt. lays a great foundation for understanding expenses/budgeting/financial flow mgmt, and gives you a good business sense regardless of discipline/industry.
