As explained in other articles on this website, the FRAMEWORK of the UIL Accounting Concept List 2022-23 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 2022-23 and beyond.
Detailed Solutions for Prior Year District Competition Tests
There are now "Detailed Solutions" written for NINE 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 2021 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. The District 2020-D test was used in the "UIL At Home Experience." The 2022 tests are available in the UIL Fall Study Packet on the UIL Academics website.

2019 LFCPA District Practice Test Love a good puzzle? The table problem in this test is super fun! This practice test could be described as strenuous (but fun), mostly math calculations (only 20 or so theory questions), and little room for guessing (72% of the questions are "no-choice numeric)."

2018 LFCPA District Practice Test Full of puzzles that will keep your calculator humming! The majority of the answers are in the format "no-choice numeric," so once again, guessing is out the door, providing better feedback for coaches.

So you can use the score to assess the student's understanding of accounting theory rather than wonder if the student has super-powered guessing abilities for objective question formats.
2015 LFCPA District Practice Test You asked for it AGAIN...heavy focus on the end-of-fiscal-period worksheet and on payroll.

This practice test will challenge contestants to know the district level Accounting theory and to work quickly and efficiently.
