When doing the TBS questions on Ninja, i noticed that answers were marked wrong if left blank, even when there was no entry required, you would have to click the box so that a ” – ” was inputted or put in 0 to get credit.

On the actual exam, if we leave answers blank where they are supposed to be, are we penalized as such as well?

Thanks!

From what I understand of the AICPAs scoring process (which is increasingly less and less), you will not be penalized for a wrong answer, you will simply not receive the points allowed for the item. They don't take away points. If it was suppose to be zero you would have left points on the table. My new strategy is to just put zeros unless it clearly states not to.

Almost always from my phone... please excuse my typos!

Oh wow, so technically speaking, if the TBS question gave 4 slots and asked to journalize the following:

Company ABC purchases $3,000 worth of equipment:

The correct answer would be:

dr. equipment 3000
cr. cash 3000

but you could still put:

dr: equipment 3000
cr. cash 3000

( and some extra nonsense that is clearly wrong)

dr. prepaid ins 100
cr. cash 100

and still receive full credit for the problem?

Also, would journal entry order count?

Like if an entry was supposed to be:

dr. machinery & equipment 220,000
cr. land 105,000
cr. gain on disposal of assets 85,000
cr. cash 30,000

but you change the order of the credits to:

dr. machinery & equipment 220,000
cr. land 105,000
cr. cash 30,000
cr. gain on disposal of assets 85,000

would you be penalized for that as well?
