Computer-based examination (CBE) – Tips 

Be sure you 

understand how to use the software

 before you start the exam. 

If in doubt, ask the assessment centre staff to explain it to you. 

Questions are 

displayed on the screen

 and answers are entered using 

keyboard and mouse. At the end of the exam, you are given a certificate 

showing the result you have achieved. 

Spend the first few minutes of the examination 

reviewing the format and 

content

 so that you understand what you need to do. 

Allocate the time

 you spend on questions in proportion to the marks on offer. 

For the Financial Accounting exam, this will equate to 1.2 minutes per mark. 

One suggestion for this exam is to allocate 2.4 minutes to each objective test 

question, and 18 minutes for each multi-task question. Note that this is an 

average as some objective test questions may be briefer to read and/or quicker 

to answer (e.g. choose the correct definition from four answers available), whilst 

others may take longer to read and answer (e.g. a calculation question).
