costing is driving me insane!!

my advice for costing to you please read the questions two times before attemptin it...........nd be confident of ur practice n concentrate on ur presentation skills it matters a lot....best of luk

COST AND FM:

USE MODULES FOR COST AND FM. FINISH ALL CHAPTERS FROM MODULES FIRST, THEN SOLVE ALL CHAPTERS FROM PADHUKA BOOK. IF YOU HAVE LESS TIME LEFT, THEN SOLVE ONLY THOSE SUMS THAT WERE ASKED IN PAST EXAMS.  MAKE A SEPARATE BOOK FOR ALL FORMULAES OF COST AND FM TO READ IT ON THE DAY BE4 EXAM. MARK OUT DIFFERENT KINDS OF SOLVED SUMS FROM PADHUKA AND MODULE. AND JUST READ THE SUMS AND FORMULAES ON THE DAY BE4 EXAM. ALSO IN COST AND FM THEORY QUESTIONS ARE OF ABOUT 40 MARKS. MAKE A SEPARATE BOOK FOR SHORT FORMS OF THOSE THEORY QUESTIONS THAT WERE ASKED IN PAST EXAMS. PADHUKA’S BOOK WILL HELP U IN UNDERSTANDING THE WEIGHTAGE OF QUESTION AS IT CONTAINS THE YEARS IN WHICH THE QUESTION WAS ASKED IN CA EXAM. 

BEST OF LUCK..........

In cost & fm try to study as much as theory bcoz.. it covers 38 marks approx...

Hi,

I suggest not to follow selective approach coz many have flunked doing it including me. Cover all the topics as far as possible.  You can however, concentrate on important topics like Budgeting, Standard Costing, marginal costing (of late these topics are given importance).  You can try and score in theory also and substantial part of which will be given from Material and Labour.

And you have FM too where you can score 15 marks in Fund Flow (or cash flow). Capital budgeting problem and financing (theory) will also be given where you can score well.
