This is going to be one of my weirder posts, but – I’m geeky like that… maybe someone out there will be able to identify and offer some helpful advice…

I have always been a “possibilities thinker”, but I am having trouble with entertaining too many possibilities at times with the MCQ’s… when we do MCQ’s we try to eliminate possibilities, or adhere to the one possibility… but the thing is… when I cant interpret things 50 different ways, like the question or its answers… I get so dumbfounded bored… I’m like “so what?”… I’ll even know the answer, but it wont occur to me that it’s the right answer because I have trouble seeing it as worthwhile…

I gotta find some way to work through this… accounting is really kind of just factual, and it doesnt really have anything to do with being excited or bored… so the possibility thinking needs to be limited or made functional to the correct possibilities…

Weird question, I know, but any thoughts…?

Thanks

I don't know if I can help you with your problem, but I will say that when you FINALLY get that Cash Flow Statement that you've been working on for an hour, to reconcile, it's the most exciting feeling in the world. There is nothing in the world like reading the Audit report of some little town that you hate to drive through, because you know it's a speed trap, and seeing the 9 pages of findings! I really enjoy that. But then I'm a geek, so this may not apply to you or anyone else.

I am the same as OP. When I first started, I would have a stream of thought about the different choices of a MCQ and make the “wrong” answers “correct” in my head. Then when I read the solution, I disagree.

You just have to keep doing MCQ's and when you read the answer just accept it and try to see it the way the author sees it. If you do all of the MCQ's 4 or 5 times, your brain will eventually make the connections. Hopefully you are using Wiley.

Think about choosing the BEST answer among the possibilities.
