Data Checking

Clericla Ability – Data Checking

In a data checking test, you are tasked with identifying errors in texts, invoices, or ledgers. This type of test is sometimes known as error checking, and the nature of the questions is generally similar. During data checking/error checking exercises, you will be presented with two sets of texts/records and required to determine if they are exactly identical. Discrepancies might include a missing zero, a misspelled word, or an absent comma. Unless specifically instructed, you should not verify the accuracy of calculations, as this could lead to unnecessary time consumption.

You will be working within a time limit and must balance speed with precision.

Explanation: Select your answer to display explanation.

No, they are not 100% identical.
In the first invoice the last car name on the list is spelled “Camero”, in the last it is spelled “Camaro”. A subtle difference, but a difference nonetheless.
