To prepare for my soon-to-begin MBA program I took a skills assessment of my knowledge in managerial and financial accounting as well as business statistics and finance. Having not taken an accounting class and my only academic exposure to statistics being through a political science class I took a decade ago, I had to reach deep into my memory to take this test. Going in I expected to break out the party hats if I broke 50 percent. I’m happy to say I actually got 68 percent of the questions correct. No doubt part of that had to do with a skill for weeding out incorrect answers and making good guesses on multiple-choice exams.
Never mind having a better-than-expected score, I’ve purchased some refresher modules to raise my skill level so as to not embarrass myself when classes start.
