Business and Technology (BT) practice questions: the prompt for ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini

Copy a prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI. Each asks for Business and Technology (BT) questions in the domcq/1 format, with the exam’s official topic names and question format, and nothing else.

What do you want your AI to do?

Your AI writes them to the exam’s outline and format.

You are writing exam-style multiple-choice practice questions for me. I am preparing for Business and Technology (BT), set by ACCA. Write questions that match the real exam's content, difficulty and style, drawn from the current official syllabus.

Write 20 questions. Each must be a standalone multiple-choice question that can be answered from its own stem and options, with exactly the right answer(s) marked and nothing ambiguous.

Set each question's `topic` to one of these names, copied exactly (same words, same capitalization; these are the only topic names the import accepts):
- The business organisation and its external environment (subtopics: The purpose and types of business organisation; Stakeholders in business organisations; Political and legal factors affecting business; Macroeconomic factors; Microeconomic factors; Social and demographic factors; Technological factors; Environmental and sustainability factors; Competitive factors)
- Organisational structure, culture, governance and sustainability (subtopics: The formal and informal business organisation; Business organisational structure; Organisational culture; Governance in business organisations; Sustainable business practices)
- Business functions, regulation and technology (subtopics: The relationship between accounting and other business functions; Accounting and finance functions within business organisations; Regulation and financial crime; Financial information provided by business; Financial systems and technology; Internal controls; The impact of advances in technology)
- Leadership and management (subtopics: Leadership, management and supervision; Individual and group behaviour in business organisations; Team formation, development and management; Motivating individuals and teams; Learning and training at work; Review and appraisal of individual performance)
- Personal effectiveness and communication in business (subtopics: Personal effectiveness; Consequences of ineffectiveness at work; Competence frameworks and personal development; Sources of conflict and techniques for conflict resolution; Communicating in business)
- Professional ethics (subtopics: Fundamental principles of ethical behaviour; The role of regulatory and professional bodies in promoting ethical and professional standards; Corporate codes of ethics; Ethical conflicts and dilemmas)
Where subtopics are listed, set `subtopic` to one of them; otherwise choose a short, specific `subtopic` of your own or leave it out.

Spread the questions across the topics above so that every topic gets some.

Give each question between 2 and 4 options. Options are plain text without letter prefixes (DoMcq labels them A, B, C… by position); make them similar in length and form so the right one does not stand out.
Most questions have one correct option. Where the real exam uses multiple-answer items, write some with two or more correct options: the stem must then say how many to choose ("Choose TWO.", "Choose THREE."), `answer` lists every correct letter in ascending order ("BD"), and at least one option must be incorrect.
Never use these as an option: "all of the above", "none of the above". Avoid "both A and B" style options too.

Write stems the way the real exam does, for example: "As far as Gad Co is concerned, how should Stefan be categorised under Mendelow's framework?"; "Which TWO barriers to effective time management are shown in the behaviour of Shireen?"; "Which of the following actions may be taken directly by a professional body against a member who is found to have breached its code of conduct?".
Keep each stem self-contained (any scenario the question needs is in the stem), concrete and free of trick wording. Do not refer to other questions, images, tables or exhibits.
Every item is a standard multiple-choice question: do not write multiple response matching, multi-task questions (Section B) items.

Mix the difficulty: about 6 easy, 10 medium and 4 hard, and set each question's `difficulty` to "easy", "medium" or "hard" accordingly.

In `explanation`, say in two to four sentences why the correct answer is correct, in a way that teaches the underlying point, not just restates the option.

In `source`, give a short reference I can check in my own study materials (a syllabus topic, a chapter or section name, a learning objective, or a standard's clause), at most 200 characters; never invent a page number or a quotation.

Leave out `rationales` and `id`.

Before you answer, check your own work: no two questions ask the same thing; no question gives away another's answer; the correct option sits in a different position from one question to the next (never always the same letter); every `answer` letter exists for that question; the correct option is correct according to the current official material, not folklore; facts are accurate. Fix anything you find.

Output the whole set as one JSON object in the `domcq/1` format (schema: https://domcq.com/schema/v1; this is the import format of https://domcq.com):

```json
{
  "format": "domcq/1",
  "exam": "acca-bt",
  "set": "Business and Technology (BT) practice – [a short name for this set]",
  "questions": [
    {
      "stem": "[the question, 10–2000 characters]",
      "options": [
        "[option 1]",
        "[option 2]",
        "[option 3]",
        "[option 4]"
      ],
      "answer": "B",
      "explanation": "[why the correct answer is correct, 1–3000 characters]",
      "topic": "The business organisation and its external environment",
      "subtopic": "[optional, more specific]",
      "difficulty": "medium",
      "source": "[a reference I can check]"
    }
  ]
}
```

Rules the import enforces: `format` is exactly "domcq/1"; `set` is 1–120 characters; `questions` holds all 20; each question has exactly the fields shown (no others); `stem` is 10–2000 characters and each option 1–500; `options` are all different; `answer` uses capital letters A–F naming options by position, in ascending order, never every option; `explanation` (1–3000 characters) and `topic` are required; `subtopic` (up to 120 characters), `difficulty` ("easy", "medium" or "hard") and `source` (up to 200 characters) are optional. Use plain double quotes in JSON strings (escape any inside text as \"), no trailing commas, no comments.

Reply with the JSON object inside a single ```json code fence and nothing else: no introduction, no commentary, no notes after it. If the set is long, keep going until every question is written and the JSON is complete and closed.

Then

  1. Paste the prompt into your AI and wait for the whole JSON file. If it stops early, ask it to continue from where it stopped and finish the JSON.
  2. Copy the AI’s reply and paste it at domcq.com/import. DoMcq checks the file and shows exactly what to fix, if anything, as a message you paste back to your AI.
  3. Save, then practice: tutor mode, exam mode with the real exam’s timing, and progress by topic.

DoMcq runs no AI. It never writes, fixes or explains questions; your AI does the writing, DoMcq makes the questions count.
