Accounting graduate entry

About this practice suite

This suite prepares candidates for accounting graduate entry selection in the finance, accounting, banking, and insurance sector with 5 skill areas: numerical reasoning, critical thinking, situational judgment, data interpretation and technical reasoning. Every question was written by Novus editors for this suite — none are taken from live or leaked exams — and the full bank holds 52 scored questions across three modes, plus 8 reserve questions used to vary repeat attempts. Answer keys never ship to the browser: your answers are scored server-side, and results stay on your device.

Skills this suite practises

• Numerical reasoning — Arithmetic, fractions, percentages, ratios, rates, estimation, word problems, and number relationships.
• Critical thinking — Evaluating evidence, assumptions, arguments, credibility, and alternative explanations.
• Situational judgment — Evaluating workplace responses against role-relevant principles.
• Data interpretation — Tables, charts, graphs, dashboards, trends, comparisons, and evidence-based conclusions.
• Technical reasoning — Applied technical principles, diagrams, tools, systems, measurements, and troubleshooting.

Sample questions from the guided bank

Two of the 10 guided-practice questions, shown exactly as they appear in a session. Answers and explanations are not printed here — keys stay on the server — so open guided practice to answer them and see how you did.

1. Under accrual accounting, revenue is generally recognized when:

   • A. Cash is received from the customer
   • B. An invoice is printed regardless of delivery
   • C. Performance obligations are satisfied and recognition criteria are met
   • D. The fiscal year ends

2. A graduate notices year-end bonus expense was never accrued though it is probable and estimable. Best educational action?

   • A. Propose an adjusting entry and escalate to the supervisor with support
   • B. Ignore it because cash has not been paid
   • C. Expense it next year only to smooth earnings
   • D. Reduce revenue instead of accruing expense

Practice modes and timing

Guided practice is untimed-feeling and instructional; the mini-test is a short timed check; the full simulation mirrors a complete sitting. All three draw on separate question sets, so moving up a mode never repeats what you practised.
