CSEC OA Paper 01 Office Administration May June 2022

6) i think would be B, examples of fringe benefits would be paid vacations, educational assistance, employee discounts, subsidized/free meals

[@CSECPanda]

Maybe. A copy/paste from the textbook - > subsidized meals (reduced-cost); • free or subsidized health care; • use of company vehicle; • pension schemes; • good holiday entitlement; • provision of work clothing; • life assurance - discount company products (we're not ready for this conversation yet, but I think that CXC papers have a provision for multiple correct answers)

[@mishikahaughton9642]

I did the CXC today and almost all the questions in this video came on it and i watched this video last night and memorized some of the answers thanks so much i got through it so fast i even took a nap afterwards😁😁😁😁

[@CSECPanda]

[@javonolive9336]

uhh why would the employees bring their issue to the trade union instead of HR first for question number 35 btw

[@shaneikalawson826]

right

[@savageboss2135]

Trade union deals with that stuff

[@CSECPanda]

I think because of the gravity of the issue in this case. I know the answer they're going for here is "union" though

[@trinityhamied]

@@CSECPanda yes but the first course of action should always be HR, then the union

[@christindavis2584]

@@trinityhamied I was thinking the very same thing.

[@daheimadavis2290]

shouldn’t 57 be D, it said the clock card makes no provision for a lunch hour?

[@vcline5703]

58 should be A not D

[@anyahull9290]

Good day, isn’t #12 supposed to be job description instead ? Correct me if I am wrong

[@CSECPanda]

Hi, I see where you are coming from but I think it's supposed to be job specification. I inserted a clip from the textbook to show why I thought that. It seems like "given to the employee" might be a clue here

[@SanjayMcDermott]

@@CSECPanda Miss Panda i'm gonna go with job description on this one. job specification really is referring to what the person needs to have to get the job done. while the description outlines what the employee is to do in the job.

[@CSECPanda]

@@SanjayMcDermott Hi, yes it's definitely a close thing, I understand. 8:24 for a textbook snippet, the green highlight is the small determining factor I used

[@anyahull9290]

@CSECPanda and @SonjayMcDermott thank you to both of you for your feedback I read it over from the attached and I see where you’re coming from

[@saraearle9923]

For item 53, I saw someone arrive the same answer, however, they had added the Credit and Balance columns then subtracted the sum of the Debit column from the sum of the Credit and Balance columns...or is it too technical?

[@CSECPanda]

Yes - It's literally smarter/easier to do it that way, just do all the addition first, then all the subtraction, rather than going up + and down - with each transaction. I was tempted into doing it this way because of how actual statements work where the balance column shows you a running total with each transaction.... But for this it is ABSOLUTELY simpler to do what you said.

[@KYE.OFFICIAL]

I hope ur answers are right because some of them u are not sure.

[@CSECPanda]

Perspective: On every paper I have maybe 5 questions that are uncertain, tops. If you get 55/60 on paper 1 you will be in a good place. Curiosity: what's your plan for if cxc brings several new questions tomorrow?

[@KYE.OFFICIAL]

@@CSECPanda as u said go with the flow. And use common sense

[@CSECPanda]

@@KYE.OFFICIAL I think that's a good plan. It's not worth digging up every single past paper answer, once you have seen two or three of them, your common sense will bridge any other gap

[@alliyahlambert4089]

35 is wrong

[@AyannaLewis-dm8rq]

C

[@tanyacharles2073]

47 Isn't B?

[@yourfavtortle5959]

hi , i wanted to let you know number 39 its supposed to be A not C

[@CSECPanda]

Hi, 29:00 no I'm pretty sure that the answer is 20%. I think that the calculation is 10 divided by 50 times 100. Worth a Google, thanks for raising it

[@user-moonmai]

​@@CSECPanda miss I got A too.....50 times 10% gives us 5

[@CSECPanda]

@@user-moonmai lol nah, I know percentage is confusing, but if you are doing it that way it should be: 50 times 20% gives 10 people. update: I just got confused about how to do this again so I googled this "what percentage of 50 is ten" and it's 20% so yeah definitely C

[@AyannaLewis-dm8rq]

A

[@rajpaulnaniram8816]

isnt 32 supposed to be c?

[@shahidbacchus1054]

No he travelled to a country where the time is one hour ahead so it’s c plus another hour

[@asiyakhan1595]

How can I get this paper hard copy?

[@CSECPanda]

Paper here: drive.google.com/file/d/1Qd3V8VLOaigiuZm7mbxeey-8jIILQoO_/view?usp=drivesdk Edit: oh, you're asking HOW can you. Not sure how most people do besides printing these scans, because I don't think CXC distributes them

[@kalifah35]

Thank you for this paper😄❤

[@CSECPanda]

You are welcome, I don't do too many of these but I thought this one was helpful because some of the questions were actually different 🙂

[@shaneikalawson826]

@@CSECPanda are you a teacher?

[@Vybz_with_Owen]

HEY ! i think that #44 should be c because . you would be using the company credit card to purchase the items but idk stillz

[@CSECPanda]

33:52 I see where you are coming from, but a purchase that small would be weird to do on a credit card. Knowing how petty cash is on the syllabus, I'm pretty sure that the idea here was "stationery is a petty cash type of purchase" so, yeah... cash

[@JonathanBailey-r7b]

U should be jail because your not my teacher😭

[@GabrielaFrancis-ii8lr]

I think number 12 is C not D

[@CSECPanda]

8:24 It's a very near thing, I included a screenshot from the OA textbook where they talked about both. Only the "given to employee" part of the question suggests "specification" as opposed to "description"
