while revising a subject...revise as if its the only subject we have n dont think of other subjects....n other lessons too..moreover it would be better to for 1 theory n 1 practical subject revision at a time so that we dont get bored or un interested...n keep energy levels at peak...

		<td valign="top"> 	Study Tips for Success in Professional Exams 	 	 	Success in professional exams like CA/ICWA/CS is about more than just hard work. Of course, 	hard work is very important, but so many other factors count too. Ask anyone 	who studied really hard but didn’t get through in the first attempt, and lost 	by 3 or 4 marks. It’s like as if a complex algorithm is employed in deciding 	who passes and who doesn’t. Someone told me a joke once. He said, there used to 	be a church in his locality, which had a sign board that said ‘Jesus never 	fails’. Students of a nearby professional coaching class changed it slightly. 	The altered sign board read: ‘Jesus never fails’ Oh really?? Ask Him to write 	CA….’ 	 	 	 	That says a lot about how passing a professional exam is 	viewed. Some see it as a game of luck, some see it as an unending struggle, 	some lose their drive halfway and decide to quit. Yet, there are lots who have 	passed successfully, in first attempts, even with ranks. 	 	 	So that means passing the exam isn’t the monster that it’s 	made out to be. It’s achievable, like all human endeavors. 	 	 	 	When I was done with all my exams and decided to give away 	all the old books and study materials, I came across these study tips in an old 	taxation book. I thought I’d share it with others and so I typed it out here. 	I’ve added a few tips here and there of my own. 	 	 	Hope this helps you, the reader, in your efforts towards 	success in these exams. 	 	 	 	THE 8-R 	WAY OF SUCCESS IN EXAMINATIONS 	 	 	 	READ the study materials 	thoroughly. The basic textbook should be used in the first stage and in 	all stages. 	·                     REFER only one suggested reference 	book per subject. Reading too many books can have diminishing marginal 	utility. 	·                     REALISE and understand the points 	and principles, and treatment in each topic/subject. 	·                     REMOVE doubts immediately by 	consulting your friends, teachers, seniors and faculty members. Carrying 	doubts and tension should be avoided. 	·                     RECORD your findings and notes in 	a separate book. The notes should help you revise faster and not 	contribute to further doubts. 	·                     REVISE your study materials and 	notes constantly. Revise all subjects simultaneously over a period. 	·                     RECAPITULATE the main points from 	your notes and try to answer questions in examination conditions. Do not 	solve problems verbally. For theory questions also, writing answers in 	full will help to assess the time taken. 	·                     REPRESENT your understanding of 	the various concepts in clear and neat terms to the examiner. Your 	communication should be complete. Use working notes for practical problems 	and simple language for theory questions. 	 	 	The above 8-R steps will help you add two more R’s: RESULT and RANK. 	 	 	 	DURING THE EXAMINATION DAYS 	 	 	 	 	>> Do Not hand over your answer paper much earlier 	than 3 hours, even though you may 	have completed the paper. Give yourself sufficient time for review and 	checking. 	 	 	 	 	>> Do Not award yourself any marks and brood over the 	same. While a reasonable estimate of marks can be done after all the exams, it 	is advisable to let the examiner do his duty of awarding marks. 	 	 	 	>> Do Not indulge in extreme physical activities. 	Maintaining physical well-being is a must during the exam days. Eat well and 	sleep well. 	 	 	 	>> Do Not study any new reference book or any new 	materials 3 weeks before the exam. It will only freak you out and create all 	kinds of new doubts in your head. 	 	 	 	>> Do Not let fear take over you at any time. Yes, 	professional exams are tough, and if you want to be a thorough professional, 	you need to be tough-minded. Even if the paper is harder than you expected, 	mentally keep repeating to yourself, “I can do this. I’m going to pass this 	paper no matter what.” Trust me, it works. 	 	 	 	 	IN THE EXAMINATION HALL 	 	 	DO’s 	 	 	 	>> Answer each question carrying independent marks, on 	a fresh page. 	 	 	 	 	>> Answer theory questions in a logical fashion, 	bringing out the captions/side-headings in Capital Letters. 	 	 	 	>> Try to answer all sub-divisions of a question 	simultaneously. E.g. If you’re answering Question 5, answer Q. 5a, 5b, and 5c 	simultaneously. Don’t answer 5a and 5b, 	then jump to Question 6,7 and 8, and then decide to come back to Question 5c. 	It’s irritating for the examiner. 	 	 	 	>> The total exam time is 180 minutes. About 30 mins 	will be spent in reading questions and also in end-review. Hence, the effective 	time available is 150 mins, for answering 100 marks. Only 1.5 mins can be spent 	for every mark. A question for 16 marks must be completed within 24 mins. You 	can take an extra 4-5 mins if you’re confident that the answer is fully 	correct. Otherwise, go to the next question immediately. Or else, you may not be 	able to answer a question for lack of time. 	 	 	 	>> Write your answers legibly so that the examiner can 	read them and award marks accordingly. Answers can be said to be properly 	presented only when the examiner is able to read and appreciate them. Everyone may 	not be blessed with good handwriting, but regular practice can be of great 	help. 	 	 	>> Manage your time in such a way to ensure that you 	spend at least 5 mins in the end towards review; whether you have answered all 	questions, numbered them properly. 	 	 	 	 	DON’Ts 	 	 	 	>> Do Not use red ink/sketch for underlining important 	points. Use black lead pencil for underlining. 	 	 	 	 	>> Do Not overshoot the limit for any question, 	writing beyond the scope of marks. In simple terms, that means don’t write an 	answer for two pages if the question carries only 5 marks. Remember, it’s not about the length of your answer, it’s about the 	content. 	 	 	>> Do Not employ bad handwriting to suppress your 	ignorance in any question. i.e. don’t beat around the bush and answer a 	question that you don’t know the 	answer to, just to fill up space. It only amplifies your ignorance further. 	 	 	Never 	lose your drive and enthusiasm. The most readily identifiable quality of a 	total winner is overall optimism and enthusiasm. Keep the spark of enthusiasm 	alive in you. Go ahead, be enthusiastic, be a total winner. 	 	 	Your life holds unlimited potential. You have the ability to 	attain whatever you seek; within you is every potential you can imagine. Always 	aim higher than you believe you can reach. So often, you will discover that 	when your talents are set free by your imagination, you can achieve every goal. 	If people offer their help or wisdom 	as you go through life, accept it gratefully. You can learn much from those who 	have gone before you. But never 	be afraid or hesitant to step off the accepted path and head off in your own 	direction, if your heart tells you that it’s the right way for you. Always 	believe that you will ultimately succeed at whatever you do. And never forget 	the values of persistence, discipline and determination. You are meant to be 	whatever you dream of becoming. 	 	– 	Edmund O’Neill 	ALL THE BEST FOR EXMAS 	 	 	 </td>
