How do you organize and manage your schedule?

Accounting

• Go through every idea in the text.
• Examine the foundational formats and sample journal entries.
• Establish a record of significant amounts to quickly revise, to comprehend the insights gained rather than altering the figures.

Business Law & Correspondence

• For revision, refer to your summary notes rather than reading through each provision's in-depth explanation. Make several revisions to your list of the penalties and section/clause numbers.
• Read over your grammar principles and rules.
• Examine the foundational forms of writing abilities.

Business Mathematics

• Make several revisions to your list of formulas.
• Revise the list of multiple-choice questions you have prepared.

Business Economics

• When revising, refer to your summary notes rather than reading through each topic's in-depth explanations.
• Make several revisions to your statistics list.
• Give diagrams and their interpretation more weight.
• Go through the list of multiple-choice questions you have prepared.

Pro Advice:

• Each topic's importance should be balanced against the level of detail that should be studied.
• Utilize summaries efficiently created by ICAI.

Dos:

• Attempt at least two mock exams and chapter-by-chapter tests for each subject.
• Use as much practice MCQs as you can because incorrect answers will result in a negative score in the examination.
• Remember that answering if you are unsure will result in a wrong response and a negative marking. Therefore, it is best to refrain from answering.
• Timing your practice exams will help you learn time management techniques for the real exam. Your subjective papers will take three hours, and your objective papers will take two hours.
• Use OMR sheets for effective practice when taking mock exams for the MCQ-based subjects.

Don’ts

• Refrain from studying right up until the exam day. Finish your studies an hour early to ensure you're ready for your paper.
• Avoid discussing the paper once you are home – you will be crying over spilled milk.
• On the night before your exam, avoid covering new material and sums.
• On the days of revision, make sure you avoid attempting papers or answering intricate and time-consuming questions.
• Eat no oily food as this can cause stomach problems, fatigue, and low mood.
• Sleep well by getting 6–7 hours of sleep the night before the exam. Don't skimp on sleep.
• Avoid putting yourself under needless strain or stress.
