   • CName
   • DEmployee ID

   Sagot: 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.

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

   Sagot: B. McAllister, Dana K.

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

   Which phone number matches 403-555-0187 exactly?

   • A403-555-0178
   • B403-555-0187
   • C430-555-0187
   • D403-555-1087
   Ipakita ang sagot

   Sagot: B. 403-555-0187

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

   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
   Ipakita ang sagot

   Sagot: 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.

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

   Sagot: B. 2

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

   Sagot: 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.

   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

   • BRows 2 and 4
   • CRows 1 and 5
   • DRows 3 and 6
   Ipakita ang sagot

   Sagot: 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.

   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
   Ipakita ang sagot

   Sagot: 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.

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

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

    Sagot: C. 3

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

    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
    Ipakita ang sagot

    Sagot: 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.

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

    Sagot: B. 4

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

    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
    Ipakita ang sagot

    Sagot: 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.

    Sagot: 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.
