Past papers exam questions and answers
Revision is more than memorising facts and going over notes. You can practise an exam by answering CPA kasneb past exam questions from past papers. This will give you a better chance of passing.
By practising with real past examination papers you will:
- Find out if you have learnt enough to tackle CPA kasneb exams
- Identify any weakness that you may have in answering questions
- Learn about how the exam questions are answered.
Once you have completed a paper, you can compare your answers against the marking scheme. With the many past papers provided in our revision kits you will increase your chance of passing the upcoming exams.
Quantitative Analysis (QA) Revision Kit – Past exam questions and answers for kasneb CPA, CIFA and CCP courses
This revision kit consists of kasneb past paper questions and their suggested answers to act as a revision guide for those students taking kasneb courses.
