The examination covered nine subjects: Business Law, Current Issues/Economics, Finance, Financial Accounting, Information Technology, Management, Managerial Accounting, Marketing, and Taxation. After the qualifying exam, the top 25 students with the highest score for all 9 subjects were determined as the Top 25 Finalists who moved forward to the Grand Finals competing in a Quiz Bowl.
