Introduction to Financial Accounting
Mock Midterm Examination #2
Instructions:
1. Submit: Only the pink mark sense sheet will be collected: you may keep this midterm examination
paper. Mark your answers on it for later reference.
2. Mark Sense Sheet:
Record your name and student number and answer all questions on the computer mark sense
sheet provided with an HB (soft lead) pencil. Bring several pencils in case one breaks. The
computer will not recognize ink or hard lead pencils
Test Form is 'B' and Code is your Section (in the left column)
Fill in the bubbles for your name and student number in pencil (your phone number is not
required). Leave the last column of the student number BLANK
If you change an answer, use a high quality eraser to completely remove the previous mark. If
the computer senses two answers to a question, only the first scanned will be recognized.
3. Exam Aids:
Only calculators without alphanumeric programmable memories are allowed. It is strongly
suggested you bring a couple of cheap 4 function computers to the exam in case one fails. Be
prepared to be challenged by invigilators if you bring a “fancy” calculator.
Compact foreign language/English dictionaries may be used. However, these will be
examined by invigilators. If there are any loose pages or handwriting in the dictionary, it will
be seized and you will be charged with academic dishonesty.
In 2500, invigilators answer no questions of interpretation. They will pass along questions
regarding possible errors/ typos/missing data to the head invigilator. If you believe a question
contains an error and do not receive a response, make a detailed note at the back of your pink
mark sense sheet (make sure that you submit it).
4. Special Instructions
Double check your transfers to the pink mark sense sheet.
This exam contains several groups of questions based on the same set up. These are problems
(similar to those in the DVD or Lyryx) that have been arranged as multiple choice questions
The exam clearly indicates when a group of questions are related to a single data set as:
Use the following data to answer Questions 1 to 5
Otherwise, assume each question is independent of the others
There are four present value tables appended to this exam in case you need to do time value of
money computations
With 180 minutes to do 40 questions, you should budget your time carefully and not spend
more than 4 minutes on a question. If you do, you risk not finishing the exam. A good exam
strategy is to attempt the easiest questions first.
5. Exam Strategy
Careful budgeting of time on an accounting exam is essential. Bring a watch and check your
progress regularly. Poor time management is the most common reason for poor exam
performance in accounting.
It is always a good idea to attempt the questions you deem easiest first. In an interrupted exam
that is not restarted, your exam will be scored based on questions attempted.
It is essential to transfer your answers to the mark sense sheet after each question in case the
exam is interrupted by fire alarm.
The last ten minutes of an exam should be devoted to double checking your transfers. What
you submit is what is graded. If you have not transferred your answers to the mark sense sheet
at the end of the exam, the invigilator will not wait. Your answer sheet will be seized and it
will be graded based on whatever questions have choices filled in.
Remember there is no penalty for guessing on a multiple choice computer graded exam.
Submit a choice for every question. Also note that in 2500, choice “(E) None of the above”
does indeed represent a frequent correct choice to questions.
6. Exam room regulations:
All personal belongings either on the floor or at the front of the exam room. All items on your
desk will be examined by invigilators
Bring appropriate ID as proof of registration. You will be required to sign in and show
appropriate documentation. Students without ID will be allowed to write the exam, but will be
photographed and asked to submit registration and photo ID to the School of Administrative
Studies the next day.
No student may leave the exam in the first hour. No student may start the exam after an hour.
Students requiring restroom visits must be accompanied by an invigilator.
The proctors will announce when there are 15 minutes remaining and any answers not
transferred should be recorded at this time. No one is to leave their seat in the last 15 minutes.
When time is called, the proctors will go down the rows collecting your answer sheets and
this exam paper. They will not wait and they will not accept your sheet once they have
passed. Any violation of this protocol will result in a grade of zero recorded for the exam.
7. Fire Alarms
A frequent occurrence in York exams. In the event of a fire alarm, you are to leave your exam
and answer sheet face down on your desk and immediately proceed outside with coats and all
personal belongings. Print your surname on the back of the exam so you know which seat to
return to. An invigilator will lead the group outside to a place of safety. There is to be no
talking during the evacuation or outside. Most rooms are cleared within 30 minutes of the
alarm so that exams can recommence. You will be told after this time whether to reenter the
room and recommence the exam or to go home.
8. Academic Dishonesty
You are reminded that cheating is a serious offense which can result in expulsion from
university
Exams at York are held in regular classrooms, which may involve tiered seating.
Consequently, neck exercises are not allowed during exams. First instance of wandering eyes
has the student relocated to the front of the room. Second instance results in seizure of paper.
