Passing Straighterline Accounting I and II

[bllyshrs]

just took exam 2. I wanted to get it over with last night but it got late, and boy am I glad I waited. Brutal. The trick questions were in full effect. There was a question about discount loss, which was only in the Appendix of the chapter 8 reading (I guess you have to read the appendix too, go figure). In addition, it required that you have some understanding of sales and trade discounts, which are in Ch 5, which if you have been following the straighterline course guide, you wouldn't have read yet. Good thing this is open book. Test took me over two hours to complete vs. about 50 min for test 1 (and I scored higher on test 1).

As Geezer mentions, a book is critical for this. Most questions, even when they are being sneaky, are pretty much out of the book. Even when you think you know the answer, the book might have a slightly different example of the same concept that they will quiz you on; if you have the book and look up every term in the glossary and/or index, you will be set.

I still ended up with 140/150 on this exam, so as mentioned before, an A is possible (we'll wait to see on that until I am done with this course, but it looks likely now), but you have to put in the work. If passing is all that matters to you, the above feedback from Geezer and others will get you a pass for sure.

Was aiming for test 3 tonight, but after the bloodbath that i just went through, it might have to wait till tomorrow.
