Attention to Detail Test Practice Course: Comparing records and checking data entry

1. Frage 1 von 18

   A clerk copied a new employee's details from the hiring form into the system. Which field was entered incorrectly?

   Field	Hiring form	System
   Name	Priya Nandakumar	Priya Nandakumar
   Employee ID	E-30417	E-30471
   Start date	2026-03-02	2026-03-02
   Department	Receiving	Receiving

   • ADepartment
   • BStart date
   • CName
   • DEmployee ID
   Antwort anzeigen

   Antwort: D. Employee ID

   The form says E-30417 but the system shows E-30471: the last two digits are swapped. Every other field matches exactly.

2. Frage 2 von 18

   Compare each pair. How many pairs are exactly the same?

   Pair	Left	Right
   1	KL-5520	KL-5520
   2	Bay 14, Row C	Bay 14, Row G
   3	Ostrowski	Ostrowski
   4	0.75 kg	0.75 kg
   5	1-866-555-0108	1-866-555-0180

   • A3
   • B5
   • C2
   • D4
   Antwort anzeigen

   Antwort: A. 3

   Pairs 1, 3 and 4 match. Pair 2 has C and G, and pair 5 ends in 0108 and 0180.

3. Frage 3 von 18

   Which entry matches "McAllister, Dana K." exactly?

   • AMacAllister, Dana K.
   • BMcAllister, Dana K.
   • CMcAlister, Dana K.
   • DMcAllister, Dana R.
   Antwort anzeigen

   Antwort: B. McAllister, Dana K.

   Check the surname letter by letter (Mc, double l) and then the initial. Only the first option matches every character.

4. Frage 4 von 18

   Which phone number matches 403-555-0187 exactly?

   • A403-555-0178
   • B403-555-0187
   • C430-555-0187
   • D403-555-1087
   Antwort anzeigen

   Antwort: B. 403-555-0187

   Compare in groups: 403, then 555, then 0187. Each wrong option has two digits swapped in one group.

5. Frage 5 von 18

   A paper timesheet shows 7.5 hours for Tuesday. The payroll system shows 75 hours for that day. What most likely happened?

   • ATwo digits were swapped
   • BThe decimal point was left out
   • CThe hours were entered on the wrong day
   • DThe 5 was typed twice
   Antwort anzeigen

   Antwort: B. The decimal point was left out

   Without the decimal point, 7.5 becomes 75. An amount that is far too large for one day is a sign of a missing decimal point.

6. Frage 6 von 18

   Compare the stock card with the system record. How many fields are different?

   Field	Stock card	System
   Bin	A-12	A-12
   Item code	HX-4471-QB	HX-4417-QB
   Description	Hinge, steel, 75 mm	Hinge, steel, 75 mm
   Quantity	144	114
   Supplier	Northgate Hardware	Northgate Hardware
   Received	2026-08-06	2026-08-06

   • A1
   • B2
   • C3
   • D4
   Antwort anzeigen

   Antwort: B. 2

   The item code (4471 and 4417) and the quantity (144 and 114) are different. The other four fields match.

7. Frage 7 von 18

   This list of surnames should be in alphabetical order. Which name is out of place?

   Position	Surname
   1	Abbott
   2	Bélanger
   3	Chen
   4	Kowalski
   5	Dhillon
   6	Evans
   7	Fraser
   8	Gill

   • AGill
   • BDhillon
   • CChen
   • DKowalski
   Antwort anzeigen

   Antwort: D. Kowalski

   K comes after G, so Kowalski belongs at the end. If you remove it, the rest of the list is in order from A to G.

8. Frage 8 von 18

   A visitor log was typed up from sign-in sheets. Which two rows are exact duplicates?

   Row	Visitor	Company	Time in
   1	R. Haddad	Fortis Electric	08:12
   2	L. Moreau	Clearview Glass	08:40
   3	T. Singh	Fortis Electric	09:05
   4	L. Moreau	Clearview Glass	09:40
   5	R. Haddad	Fortis Electric	08:12
   6	J. Park	Delta Movers	10:15

   • ARows 1 and 3
   • BRows 2 and 4
   • CRows 1 and 5
   • DRows 3 and 6
   Antwort anzeigen

   Antwort: C. Rows 1 and 5

   Rows 1 and 5 have the same name, company and time. Rows 2 and 4 have the same visitor but different times (08:40 and 09:40), so they are two visits.

9. Frage 9 von 18

   The source date is 2026-07-09 (year-month-day). It was entered as 2026-09-07. What went wrong?

   • AThe month and the day were swapped
   • BOne digit was left out
   • CA digit was typed twice
   • DThe year was entered incorrectly
   Antwort anzeigen

   Antwort: A. The month and the day were swapped

   July 9 became September 7. Day-month swaps are common when people mix up date formats, so always check which format a form uses.

10. Frage 10 von 18

    Customer emails were copied from a sign-up sheet. Whose email address was entered incorrectly?

    Customer	Sign-up sheet	System
    J. Osei	j.osei@example.com	j.osei@example.com
    M. Tran	m.tran@example.com	m.tran@example.com
    K. Lavoie	k.lavoie@example.com	k.lavoie@exmaple.com
    A. Rahimi	a.rahimi@example.com	a.rahimi@example.com

    • AM. Tran
    • BK. Lavoie
    • CA. Rahimi
    • DJ. Osei
    Antwort anzeigen

    Antwort: B. K. Lavoie

    In K. Lavoie's entry, "example" became "exmaple": the a and the m swapped. One wrong letter means the email will not arrive.

11. Frage 11 von 18

    Compare HX-4471-QB with HX-4417-OB. How many characters are different?

    • A2
    • B4
    • C3
    • D1
    Antwort anzeigen

    Antwort: C. 3

    The 7 and 1 are swapped (2 characters), and the Q has become an O (1 character), so 3 characters differ.

12. Frage 12 von 18

    You must type a long number from a paper form into a system. What is the safest way to do it?

    • AType it quickly and trust that it is right
    • BAsk the person who filled in the form to retype it for you later
    • CEnter it, then read it back against the form in small groups
    • DCheck only that the first and last digits match
    Antwort anzeigen

    Antwort: C. Enter it, then read it back against the form in small groups

    Entering and then verifying against the source, group by group, catches errors before they reach the records.

13. Frage 13 von 18

    A parking officer compares licence plates on a permit list with those entered in the system. How many rows match exactly?

    Row	Permit list	System
    1	CHV 4821	CHV 4821
    2	BNR 7730	BNR 7730
    3	DKW 1956	DKW 1965
    4	FTA 3302	FTA 3302
    5	GLE 8814	GIE 8814
    6	HMZ 6075	HMZ 6075

    • A5
    • B4
    • C3
    • D6
    Antwort anzeigen

    Antwort: B. 4

    Rows 3 (1956 and 1965) and 5 (GLE and GIE) do not match, so 6 − 2 = 4 rows match.

14. Frage 14 von 18

    A batch header says "5 records, total $1,240.50". The five amounts entered are shown. What does a check of the batch show?

    Record	Amount ($)
    1	412.75
    2	96.00
    3	305.25
    4	175.50
    5	215.00

    • ANeither the count nor the total matches the batch header
    • BBoth the count and the total match, so the batch can be approved
    • CThe total matches, but one of the five records is missing
    • DThe count matches but the total does not, so look for a wrong amount
    Antwort anzeigen

    Antwort: D. The count matches but the total does not, so look for a wrong amount

    There are 5 records, which matches. They add up to $1,204.50, not $1,240.50. The difference is $36.00, which divides evenly by 9, a sign that two digits may have been swapped.

15. Frage 15 von 18

    A clerk entered the locker numbers from a sign-up sheet. Whose locker number was entered incorrectly?

    Row	Employee	Sign-up sheet	System
    1	Fraser, Ian	B-1170	B-1170
    2	Nguyen, Tam	C-2208	C-2208
    3	Roy, Élise	A-0941	A-0914
    4	Bains, Harpreet	D-3362	D-3362

    • ABains, Harpreet
    • BNguyen, Tam
    • CRoy, Élise
    • DFraser, Ian
    Antwort anzeigen

    Antwort: C. Roy, Élise

    The sheet says A-0941 but the system says A-0914: the last two digits are transposed.

16. Frage 16 von 18

    A stock count is compared with the system. How many items have a difference of MORE than 2 units?

    Punkt	System	Counted
    Gloves, nitrile, M	40	40
    Gloves, nitrile, L	35	32
    Safety glasses	18	18
    Ear plugs (box)	12	9
    Hi-vis vest, L	20	21
    Hard hat, white	15	15
    Dust masks (box)	8	4
    First aid kit refill	6	6

    • A3
    • B2
    • C4
    • D1
    Antwort anzeigen

    Antwort: A. 3

    Three items differ by more than 2: nitrile gloves L (35 − 32 = 3), ear plugs (12 − 9 = 3) and dust masks (8 − 4 = 4). The hi-vis vests differ by only 1.

17. Frage 17 von 18

    Product descriptions were copied from a supplier catalogue into the store system. Which code has a description that does not match?

    Code	Catalogue	System
    TB-201	Tape measure, 8 m	Tape measure, 8 m
    TB-202	Utility knife	Utility knife
    TB-203	Level, 600 mm	Level, 900 mm
    TB-204	Pliers, needle-nose	Pliers, needle-nose

    • ATB-201
    • BTB-203
    • CTB-204
    • DTB-202
    Antwort anzeigen

    Antwort: B. TB-203

    The catalogue says a 600 mm level but the system says 900 mm. Check numbers and units inside descriptions, not just the words.

18. Frage 18 von 18

    Row	Name (source)	Name (entered)	Postal code (source)	Postal code (entered)

    Antwort: B. Row 5

    Row 5 has Grewal/Grewel and T2W 4R3/T2W 4R8. Rows 2 and 4 each have only one error.
