I'm doing the BGT cba in a few days and am starting to panic a bit as I'm not really sure what to expect. I've done the practice online which seemed ok, but wonder if it will be similar in the live exam. I have started looking at PCR papers to help boost my prep but not really sure what else I can do as we only have one practice cba to work with.
Are people finding the live CBAs are similar in content and style to the practices we have available to us?

CBA exam
I did a budgeting CBA last week, similar in style to the one loaded on here. My own fault if I fail it as the content was fine, I just struggled to be able to concentrate as relaying the figures from paper (workings out) to the keyboard I kept making typing errors (probably through nerves) plus there seemed to be a delay on the keyboard to screen so it was very off putting On a couple of occasions I noticed what I had calculated on paper was not what I had typed, timing was tight and I had no time to check my work. As I said the exam was fine, just my nerves getting the better of me I think and the lack of use of computers!! You'll be fine.!0 -
Thanks Anita, I feel a bit more relaxed about the BGT cba having read your message! I feel as though I know the content of the syllabus fairly well, but just feel due to the lack of CBA type questions available Im a bit unsure how to prepare for the exam. I've done the PCR papers but the BGT type questions seem shorter and focus on different areas...
Did the live CBA contain two written tasks like the practice online? I think section 2 had a task in the practice assessment where you discussed the variances on an already completed budget (similar to tasks you get in PCR paper based exams).0 -

Try pressing F11 when your on the CBA as that expands it so you can see the whole page.0 -
