Accounting/Tax Subjects

  • Format is very important. If you follow it, it has no extra marks. But if you don’t follow it, marks will be deducted.
  • Writing notes is very important. Note making justifies your answer.
  • Buy the ten years to observe the question patterns.
  • If you are short of time, do not study for all chapters which come as a choice. Instead study for one out of the two.
  • Leave theoretical chapters for the end.
  • DO NOT leave any question unattempted you might score 1 or 2 marks while leaving it will fetch you nothing.
  • While using calculator, don’t be in a hurry. You’ll end up making an error.

GENERAL STUDY TIPS

  1. Take a break after 35 minutes of studying.
  2. Group studies work if each one is focused. If you teach your friends, you will strengthen your own concept.
  3. All nighter sounds cool but is a bad idea. Do not stay awake beyond 2:30 am. Sleep is important for your brain to process all the information you gathered after studying.
  4. Eat light. Heavy foods make you lazy and sleepy.
  5. Exercise to release endorphin. It is a great stress buster.
  6. Study in proper lighting
  7. Don’t be selfish. Seek help and also give help in return.

Hope these study tips were helpful ! All the best for your exams!
