Bookkeeping

About this practice suite

This suite prepares candidates for bookkeeping selection in the finance, accounting, banking, and insurance sector with 5 skill areas: numerical reasoning, attention and concentration, situational judgment, technical reasoning and planning and scheduling exercises. 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.
• Attention and concentration — Sustained focus, selective attention, and accuracy under time pressure.
• Situational judgment — Evaluating workplace responses against role-relevant principles.
• Technical reasoning — Applied technical principles, diagrams, tools, systems, measurements, and troubleshooting.
• Planning and scheduling exercises — Resources, dependencies, deadlines, constraints, and contingency planning.

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. A supplier invoice for office supplies bought on account is typically entered as:

   • A. Debit cash; credit sales
   • B. Debit owner's capital; credit inventory
   • C. Debit expense (or supplies); credit accounts payable
   • D. Debit revenue; credit drawings

2. You have a signed check stub but cannot locate the invoice. Best first step?

   • A. Hold posting until the source document is obtained or missing-document policy is followed
   • B. Guess an amount and post to miscellaneous expense
   • C. Record it as owner drawings automatically
   • D. Delete the payment from the bank feed

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.
