Answering sub parts of a question in ca exams

Okk........... Can I answer the subparts of the questions within the question i.e. answering first 5(c) then 5(b) and then 5(a)........... doesn't it irritate the examiner ????

Mr. Anies, let us suppose a particular question contains four sub-questions 3 (a), 3 (b), 3 (c) & 3 (d). You have the choice to answer any sub-question which you are very confident of. If say, you know the answer to question 3 (c) very well, you can write the answer for this question first.  Next you know the answer to question 3 (a) then answer for this question. Suppose you know only a portion of answer for question 3 (d) and do not know the answer for the question 3 (b), then in that case you just leave ample space for the question to be answered later.

The objective to write answers in the order of your preference is to impress the examiner with your presentation and score good marks. There is nothing like all the answers must be written sequentially for questions containing sub-questions.

It is important to note that every question has to be answered in fresh sheet and if a question contains many sub-questions, try answering all of them at one place in which ever order you know the answer of the sub question. Ex: 3 (b), 3 (d), 3 (a) etc. Keep in mind pages are not a constraint in the examination, since you have paid for the Examination fees, so make use of the pages liberally and legibly.

Wish you best of luck for your November 2014 Examination.

Well Satish Sir, if I apply this in attempting the theory papers like the Law and Audit, does it anyway affect my presentation???? 

You can apply this approach in practical or theory papers, there is no harm. The most important point to remember is to always try to answer the best question for which you know the answer first. It is like prioritizing your answers so as to give a good impression to the examiner, which in turn can fetch you good marks.

Once again thanks Satish sir for resolving my query.

Thank you thank you so much. 

You are welcome and wish you good luck for your November 2014 examination.
