"...Your knowledge of Accounting Concepts is not up to the level required for the core courses. It is highly recommended that you enroll for the pre-term module..."
For those of you who are wondering what this is.....I had to give a test for assessment of my accouting skills which would let me decide whether I need to enroll for the accouting pre-term course and this was the message I got at the end of the 1.5hrs test. (Not that this was ANY kind of a surprise. Clearing the test would have been one!!!!!) Thanks to a friend who advised me just a day before, NOT to guess the answers at any cost 'coz if i would get lucky with them then i wouldn't be allowed to register for the test. Phew!! This would definitely mean I would flunk the actual accouting course :)
The test result message was pretty decent considering the way I fared!! It took me exactly 15 mins to finish the test. Not that I answered a lot of questions but the major time was spent in just reading all of them !!! I would have hardly got 5 out of 30 correct!! Knowing the experiences and reactions of some of my fellow classmates I really thought I would get to see the message quoted by one of them in his blog (click here) which goes something like this - "Dude! your skills are hopeless; forget accounting, you can't even count!" :-)
Hmmm...this is just my first experience as I step into the world of management...I guess I need to be prepared to many such similar ones!!

Whats accounting? backbone of Finance...so if you got to be in core of finance..make sure you know the best accounting skills...its actually a complex way to dupe stakeholders...and if caught..simply blame it on the accounting standards!!:)
