Accessing Guided Learning

Login to MYOL, click on your

Primary Resources, look for Guided
Learning and click ‘Access’.

You will then be redirected to a

KnowledgEquity webpage. Here is
the Strategic Management
Accounting page, as an example.

Click the ‘Start Course’ button

(which becomes the ‘Continue
Course’ button on subsequent

 The Get Started Unit

The first unit in the course, in the

‘Introduction’ section, is the ‘Get
Started’ unit.

You will see a range of tabs on the

left-hand side. Click on the tabs to
view the relevant content.

We recommend that you complete

items 1 to 3 (in this order) so that
you take a planned approach to
your studies and put timeframes
to your semester.
‘1. Make Your Results Pledge’ –
this is not a wish but the result you
are striving for at the end of
semester given the time and effort
you plan to commit to your
subject. Watch our 20 second clip
and make your pledge.
‘2. Book your Practice Exams’ –
Guided Learning includes two
practice exams per semester. We
recommend that you book these in
advance so that you can plan
ahead and adjust your study
timetable. Practice exams are
released in week 8 of the
semester, and we encourage you
to attempt Practice exam 1 two
weeks before, and Practice exam 2
one week before, your CPA
Program exam.

Note 1: Dates are adjusted

according to the semester’s exam
dates

Note 2: You can attempt the

practice exams at any time, once
they have been released. The
practice exam booking dates are
for your study planning purposes.
Should life happen and you can’t
sit your practice exams on the
dates booked, these can be done at
any time; there’s no need to
rebook. Keep reading for more
details in relation to your practice
exams.
‘3. Build your Study Plan’ – Now
that you have made your pledge
and booked your practice exams, it
is time build your study plan.
Watch our 2-minute clip and
download and fill in our template
study plan to guide you.
The ‘FAQs and Errata’ tab will
include any published CPA
Program Errata, any FAQs
applicable to the subject (including
date published, so that you make
certain you are working with the
latest one), and a PDF released by
CPA Australia which provides an
outline of the CPA Program exams.
 The Webinars Unit

On the right-hand side of your

screen, the next section is called
‘Webinars’ and this is where the
‘Webinars’ unit is located.

This unit is made up of the

webinar schedule and weekly
tabs breaking your modules into
bite size chunks.

Your weekly emails will guide you

in terms of what need to be done
when; just click on the applicable
tabs to open up the preparation
work, the webinar recordings and
the slide downloads.
 Module Units

In the course menu, when you

click on a Module section, it will
open-up various unit and quiz
headings (shown here is SMA
Module 1).

We encourage you to work

through these units methodically
and complete the available
module quizzes before moving
onto the next module.
When you click into a unit, (SMA
M1 – Part A: What Is Value?
shown here) there will be steps
that you need to follow. Here, we
have Step 1, which is a short
video (red arrow) which will offer
some clarity in relation to the
content covered, and Step 2,
which is a mini quiz (blue arrow)
that tests your understanding of
the video. Other steps may
include questions, solutions, flow
diagrams, news clips and PDF
downloads.
Once you have completed the
steps in a unit, please mark it as
complete. You can then track
your course progress above the
‘Knowledge Base’ and ‘Ask the
Expert’ buttons.

In each unit you will be asked to

complete a mini quiz which tests
your knowledge of the applicable
topic. Click on the blue quiz icon
and the mini quiz will open in a
separate window. To take the
quiz, click ‘Start Quiz’ and answer
all questions.

Once you have completed the

quiz click ‘Submit quiz’, ‘Submit’
to confirm and then the results
page will pop up. Once
completed, just close the quiz
window and you will return to the
unit.
Each module consists of at least 2
module quizzes. Click on the
module quiz you would like to
attempt, and you will be taken to
the Module Quiz screen (as
shown on the right-hand side).
Click ‘Start Quiz’ to attempt the
quiz. Each of the module quizzes
will consist of 10 questions.

When you have completed the

quiz, click ‘Submit Quiz’
The mini quizzes and module
quizzes can be taken up to 10
times each. If you would like to
redo a module (or mini quiz), click
‘Retake Quiz’ in the results
screen. Answers can also be
printed by clicking on the printer
icon (yellow arrow).

The quiz can also be retaken by

going the quiz. Click ‘Retake
Quiz’. To check your results, click
‘Check Results’ (blue arrow).
 Mid-Semester Test

On Friday in week 5, we release a

Mid-semester test. You will
receive an email detailing the
number and type of questions,
which modules it covers and the
time allocated to completing it.
The Mid-semester test will be
situated just below the Webinars
section, as shown here. As in the
case of the Practice exams, you
will only have one attempt at it.
Note that the Mid-semester test
does not count towards your final
mark in the subject.

Revision Section

In the menu, below the Module

sections, is a section called
‘Revision’, where you will find
revision quizzes.

Later in the semester, additional

resources including Boot camp,
the Exam Preparation webinar
and the Practice Exams will be
available here.
The Revision Quizzes vary in
marks and can be taken up to 10
times each. As highlighted in
yellow, when you click into the
revision quiz, it will tell you how
many questions, what modules
are covered, the total marks and
how long you are given to
complete each it.

Simply click on the ‘Start Quiz’

button to get going.
Once you have completed the
quiz click ‘Submit Quiz’, ‘Submit’
to confirm and you will be taken
to the results page. This will not
only reflect your overall result but
also how you performed per
module. Results may also be
printed.

The Practice Exams are released

in week 8 of the semester. There
are two practice exams for you to
test your knowledge. These aim
to mimic your CPA Program exam
and therefore can only be
attempted once each. These will
also have the same amount of
MCQs and ERQs (if applicable) as
in your final exam. Answers are
only supplied for questions you
have attempted. As shown, you
will need to read the instructions
and then click ‘Start Practice
Exam’. You will be given 3 hours
and 15 minutes to complete your
practice exam. We cannot reset
your exam, so take care here!
Once you start it, you need to
