Principles
of Accounting Competency Exam (PACE)
For those
individuals that plan to attend a four-year college or university,
be advised that you may be required to take and pass the PACE exam,
especially if you intend to enroll in a School of Business or
Accounting at
that institution.
My research
shows, without exception, that most four-year institutions require
students to take some form of the PACE exam, either prior to
registering, or within a few
weeks after starting an applicable degree program course (usually
accounting, finance, business administration, etc.).
To help you
prepare for the PACE, I am providing the following materials to
assist in the study process. These are the subjects and types
of questions you will encounter when taking the exam.
You may not need
this study material immediately, so at least download the files and
save them for future use when you may need them.
Click on the
green "XXXXXX"s for the desired format, to download a
copy.

General Ledger Software Applications |

the these instructions on the General Ledger software link appearing on the Course
Handouts webpage. (Note:

Financial Accounting course).

|
Generic Working Papers |
|
You
will find a group of generic forms, listed on the
Course
Resources webpage under
Course
Handouts, immediately after the listings of the
Material Sources section. You have a
choice of two different formats that can be downloaded.
These generic forms should be adequate for completing most of the assigned homework problems. As a result, you may find
that it is not necessary to purchase the optional Working Papers
workbook that accompanies the textbook.

Computers
& Equipment for Sale |
| |
Occasionally, I
obtain various computer
systems and other equipment, that I recondition, upgrade, and offer for
redistribution to students.
As has been my practice in past years,
I always offer these systems to students (at my cost of refurbsishment) before I attempt
to dispose of them to the public-at-large. I would much rather that
students, that need a computer, have first choice.
The computers being offered are
complete systems and are in excellent condition. If you, or anyone you
know, is interested in
any system or piece of equipment, click on the highlighted system Component
ID below to
obtained a complete listing of the components and
any associated software with each system.
