The second attempt can only be made after you have completed the first practice set attempt. On the second attempt, you will receive a set of numeric values and details that is different to those that were in your first practice set attempt. Your highest mark will apply. • Submission is to be completed online, however it is possible to print each page of the online practice set to work on it offline. Once each stage has been submitted, you will be provided with immediate feedback on your performance. The online MYOB assessment practice set is available for purchase from within your own Perdisco account which must first be created as follows: 1.

As you work through the practice set, you will also notice that you have links to the “MYOB Learning Centre”. This online resource provides you with support on using MYOB and so you are strongly encouraged to refer to it as you complete your practice set. A series of short guides is also available on MySCU which focus on common errors. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!! In the interest of student access and equity, virtual ‘library copies’ of the practice set are provided through an Electronic Special Reserve (ESR) service on the Perdisco website. Like library books, they are limited by available hours and the number of simultaneous users. To access ESR, please create your Perdisco account and add the practice set, then click the ESR login link. You can also read more information about ESR by clicking the ESR info link. A tip for using ESR is to avoid leaving your work until the last minute when demand for ESR copies of the practice set is likely to be high. See Access and Equity: Electronic Special Reserve on this unit’s MySCU site in the assessment/Perdisco MYOB assignment heading.
