A taste of the paper. Every exam you sit has different questions in this style.
Sample 1 · Interpersonal skills
Uwase runs a hair salon in Musanze. Which personal skill would help her most to understand how her clients feel and keep them coming back?
Answer: D. Empathy
Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of other people. A salon owner who listens and understands what clients feel builds trust and loyal customers. Impatience drives clients away, and machine operation or book binding are technical skills that do not build relationships.
Sample 2 · Goods and services
Which statement correctly describes a service?
Answer: C. It is intangible and cannot be touched or stored
A service (e.g. teaching, hairdressing, transport) is intangible: it cannot be touched or stored, and it is produced and consumed at the same time. Physical, storable, tangible items are goods.
Sample 3 · Personal finance terms
Money that a person receives from a job or a business is called:
Answer: C. Income
Income is money earned or received, for example a salary, wages or profit from a business. An expense is money spent, and a liability or debt is money owed.
