Combine all three sections: Develop a driver-based budget and challenge its assumptions. Submit an original worked artifact, evidence or tests, assumptions and a reflection. Rubric: correctness, method, practical usefulness, reproducibility and communication. Self-reviewed, not certified.
6–12 balanced questions sampling every section of Treasury, International Finance and Financial Planning, including interpretation, calculation or reasoning, a misconception and a new application. Passing is 70%; review errors before retrying.
Fictional USD budgets, statement analysis, valuation models and risk scenarios. Guided work leads to an independent attempt, with a diagram, explanation, trace, calculation or tested artifact. Question bodies are generated when opened in your private learning path. Programming submissions are stored as text; the platform does not execute submitted code.
Use original or appropriately licensed datasets. Practical science activities use models or supplied data unless a qualified supervisor has reviewed a physical experiment.
