Is one allowed to study on Shabbos for a test?

 

Can I study on Shabbos for a test on Limudei Kodesh subjects?

Allowed.

ראה שש”כ פרק כח סעיף צב ובהערה רכ, ושם הערה קעח.

וכן נפסק בלוח יומי – פורים תשע”ד לענין הכנת קריאת מגילה בשבת.

 

Can I study on Shabbos for an accounting test?

No.

Explanation: There are two issues here:

1. One is reading such material on Shabbos. It is permissible to read books of wisdom on Shabbos according to the strict letter of the law but a G-d-fearing person should be stringent. However, since accounting is forbidden on Shabbos, this would not be considered studying wisdom.
2. An additional issue is hachanah, preparation for after Shabbos.
