Don't forget about percentages, there's loads of them in accountancy, have you any previous accounting experience? Would you know about debtors, creditors etc?

Sounds good then you're all sorted all you need now is LUCK

KwackerJack

So test was done

Was ok but a few question did not seem relative like angles? Why in gods name do you need to know angles for Accountancy

Then the usual Percentages, division, fractions, multiplication and so forth.

So study all them snd you should be ok

this is for future reference for those who are going to sit this test:
it's 30 min maths test, 28 questions most of them multiple choice so it's doable!
the maths test includes : fractions, multiplications, adding, subtracting, percentages, logical reasoning, averages, 1 question on what where assets, one with how many degree in an right angle, square root of 100! that's about it.
Bu the way no calculators are allowed
Best of luck and hope this information will help those interested as i wish someone would've outlined it beforehand so me and those in my position could've known what to expect!

and if you pass the test with the minimum 70% then there's an interview waiting for you as well!!!
