General TBS Question

    When I do practice tests, I tend to score slightly better on TBS questions on average than multiple choice questions. And I noticed it’s because Wiley will give you points for correctly labeling an answer as ‘No Entry’ or 0. For example, if I need to do a journal entry it will look something like this:

    Warranty Expense: Debit = $6,000, Credit = No Entry
    Warranty Liability: Debit = No Entry, Credit = $6,000

    In the above mentioned example, I would get points for correctly labeling ‘No Entry’. So… my question is – Is the CPA Exam structured similarly? I sure hope so because that would be “easy points”.

    Thanks.

    No one really knows, the AICPA likes the grading of the exam to be vague. However, I would suspect that points are awarded when the candidate correctly identifies when and when not to enter data into a cell. Generally, the instructions will tell you what to put down for no entry. That's just my take, perhaps someone else knows better.
