FAQs about the Fast Track Exam
Why is there a fast-track exam?
The fast-track exam is optional and is designed to test students out of ACCT 3366 (Financial Reporting Frameworks). Students who complete ACCT 2301 (Principles of Financial Accounting), ACCT 2302 (Principles of Managerial Accounting), and pass the exam may enroll directly in ACCT 3367 (Intermediate Accounting I) without taking ACCT 3366.
When can students take the exam?
The exam will be offered on the last day of the final exam periods in May, August, and December. Students are eligible to take the exam on the last day of the final exam period in the semester they complete ACCT 2302.
How can students take the exam?
The exam will be administered in CASA and deployed through the Fast Track Exam Canvas shell (ACCT 0000). Students must be enrolled in the Fast Track Exam Canvas shell and make a test reservation through CASA ahead of time to ensure space availability. CASA exams are by reservation only. The scheduler for each exam opens two weeks before the exam date. Students who do not reserve their spot in a timely manner may not be able to take the exam.
Which topics will be covered in the exam?
The exam covers material from ACCT 2301 and ACCT 3366. The exam focuses on assessing conceptual understanding and application. A list of topics is available in the Fast Track Exam Canvas shell.
What is the format of the exam?
The exam consists of 25 multiple-choice questions and has a duration of 90 minutes. It is closed-book and closed-notes, but students may use four-function calculators. Students who score 80 or above will be eligible to enroll in ACCT 3367 without taking ACCT 3366.
Can students retake the exam?
Students may retake the exam only once, and only at the end of the following semester. For example, a student who does not pass the exam in December may retake it in May. However, if a student does not pass the fast-track exam and subsequently enrolls in ACCT 3366 in the following semester, that student becomes ineligible to retake the fast-track exam.
What happens if a student misses their scheduled exam?
The exam must be taken at the scheduled time reserved in CASA. If, for some reason, the student is unable to take the exam, the student can take the exam when it is offered again at the end of the following semester.
