As explained in other articles on this website, the FRAMEWORK of the UIL Accounting Concept List 2020-21 remains the same as last year. The importance of this statement is that prior year study materials written by LaVerne Funderburk continue to be useful for contest preparation for 2020-21 and beyond.
Detailed Solutions for Prior Year District Competition Tests
There are now "Detailed Solutions" written for SEVEN prior year district tests that were used in competition. The "Detailed Solutions" show how to solve the test questions. These booklets may even be used by students for study on their own. The booklets will include solving strategies, warnings for common pitfalls, and detailed explanations using charts and T-accounts. They each are designed to be helpful educational tools and so much more than simply a column of numbers explaining how to arrive at the answer in the key. You will need to have your own copy of the actual test because the test questions are not repeated in the Detailed Solutions.
Actual tests for years 2019 and earlier are available free on the UIL Accounting website in "Archived Exams." Because of the Covid pandemic, only Invitational 2020-A, Invitational 2020-B, and the District 2020-D were written. UIL DOES offer the 2020 Fall Study Packet that includes these three tests. The District 2020-D test was used in the "UIL At Home Experience." Because UIL decided to offer the 2020 Fall Study Packet, this is the only way you can obtain the test. The packet only costs $2. The District 2020-D test will NOT be a digital Handout for the 2020 Virtual SAC. I am sorry for any inconvenience, but this was a UIL Austin decision.
