Excel Practice Problems
Battleacts is here to help you prepare for not only the syllabus content but also the exam environment. Now that the CAS has moved to Computer Based Testing (CBT) with Pearson VUE we're providing Excel files which feel like the exam experience. As more information is made available about the testing experience we'll update the files accordingly.
For past exams: To get the most out of these files you should attempt each exam under timed conditions and then grade yourself carefully and harshly. The examiner's report is a great source of information about things the CAS didn't award credit for - read these carefully and relate them back to the question to avoid wasting time on BattleDay. You can also use the Exam Summaries wiki article to see individual questions and answers from the examiner's report.
Alice: "I've heard the F2 and F4 keys don't work in the Pearson environment. They do work in our Excel files but you've been warned for BattleDay!"
