This set has two ICSE Class 11 Accounts quarterly test papers, one from 2017-18 and one from 2018-19. The 2017-18 paper is a single journal-entry question covering trade discount, cash discount, an old-machine exchange, and depreciation. The 2018-19 paper moves to subsidiary books, a Sales Book and a Return Outward Book, with CGST and SGST entries at 6% each.

What These Two Accounts Quarterly Papers Cover
The 2017-18 paper is built around one long question: journalising ten business transactions. It covers trade discount, cash discount, exchange of an old machine for a new one, and depreciation on machinery.
The 2018-19 paper’s available question asks students to prepare a Sales Book and a Return Outward Book for a furniture trader. Entries carry CGST and SGST at 6% each, along with trade discount.
Together, the two papers show how a Class 11 Accounts quarterly test can move from plain journal entries to subsidiary books with GST. Editions and internal test papers differ by school, so use these as practice material, not a fixed syllabus map.
Marks and Time Allowed for Each Paper
The two papers do not carry the same marks or time. Check the paper you are downloading before you start timing yourself.
| Paper | Full Marks | Time Allowed |
|---|---|---|
| Quarterly Examination 2017-18 | 50 | 2 hrs + 15 mins |
| Quarterly Examination 2018-19 | 80 | 3 hrs + 15 min |
The 2018-19 paper carries more marks and more time than the 2017-18 paper. If your school’s quarterly test follows one of these patterns, practise under the matching time limit, not a generic one.
Topics That Repeat Across the 2018 and 2019 Papers
- Trade discount: shown in both the 2018 and 2019 excerpts, applied to sales and purchases.
- Journal entries: the main focus of the 2018 paper’s Question 1, covering ten transactions.
- Subsidiary books: the 2019 paper’s excerpt uses a Sales Book and a Return Outward Book instead of plain journal entries.
- GST entries: CGST and SGST at 6% each appear in the 2019 paper’s subsidiary book question; the 2018 excerpt does not show GST.
Trade discount is the one topic confirmed in both years’ excerpts. Spend real time on it: how it is calculated, and that it is deducted before cash discount, never after.
A Worked Trade Discount and GST Entry
Here is a worked example in the same style as the recurring questions above, using different numbers.
- A trader sells furniture listed at Rs. 60,000, allowing 5% trade discount.
- Net sale value: 60000 – (0.05 \times 60000) = 57000.
- CGST at 6% on Rs. 57,000: 57000 \times 0.06 = 3420.
- SGST at 6% on Rs. 57,000 is also Rs. 3,420, since CGST and SGST use the same rate here.
- Total invoice value: 57000 + 3420 + 3420 = 63840, so Rs. 63,840.
Record this in the Sales Book with separate columns for CGST and SGST, not one combined GST column. That matches how the 2019 paper’s Question 9 is structured, where its two parts carry marks shown as [8] and [4].
A part tagged [8] expects full working: date, party name, quantity, rate, discount, and the GST split for each transaction. A part tagged [4] is shorter, usually one or two entries in the same format, not a fresh explanation.
How to Use These Papers Before Your Quarterly Exam
- Read the instruction line first. The 2018 paper states all questions are compulsory; check whether your own paper says the same.
- Time yourself using that paper’s own limit: 2 hrs + 15 mins for the 2017-18 paper, 3 hrs + 15 min for the 2018-19 paper.
- Write full journal entries with a brief narration, not just the amounts.
- Set out the Sales Book and Return Outward Book with separate CGST and SGST columns, matching the 2019 paper’s format.
- Compare your workings against your own class textbook’s method for the same topic; editions differ by school, so check your booklist.

Common Mistakes in Journal Entries and Subsidiary Books
- Deducting cash discount before trade discount. Trade discount is applied first, on the list price; cash discount comes after, on the net amount.
- Combining CGST and SGST into one column. The 2019 paper’s format needs them recorded separately, even though the rate is the same.
- Skipping narration in journal entries. An entry without a brief narration can lose marks even if the amounts are correct.
- Treating a machine exchange as a plain purchase. When an old machine is exchanged for a new one, record the disposal of the old asset and the purchase of the new one, not a single combined entry.
- Ignoring the mark tag. A part marked [4] does not need the same depth of working as one marked [8].
