Real-time tips to deal with practical paper: Account & Cost

Dear Students and Members,

Please find below some tips to deal with practical paper like Account & Cost etc. These tips are based on my personal observation and used by me in all my professional Examinations. This Article is completely written by me and not copied from anywhere. Hope this Article would be off some help in your Exam preparation:

1. After receiving the paper in your hand give it a quick look and decide the question you are going to attempt first. Also decide the question you are going to attempt last. I urge you to consider this point very important for a good start of your exam.

2. Allocate a fix time for each question. After allocation it is your duty to finish the question with in the given time limit.

3. As per my understanding presentation of theory always plays an important role whether it is theory (Law & Audit) paper or numerical (Account, cost etc.) paper. So keep your examination copy neat and clean without any cutting.

4. In the beginning don’t read all the questions carefully as in the beginning you have enough time to read it twice or thrice. Read the second question carefully only after solving the first question as decided by you in accordance with point No. 1 of this Article.

5. Super Suggestion-1: When you give first reading to a lengthy question – Note down all the amount/figures given in the question separately. Two benefit of this exercise are:
   1. When you solve the question you don’t have to search the amount/figure in the lengthy question again and lot of time saved.
   2. Chances of missing any point or amount/figure minimize.

6. Don’t change the book again and again. First focus on understanding the concept and then practice the selected book. After solving a particular author’s book solve all the questions of scanner without any help.

7. Super Suggestion-2: This point helps you to deal with lengthy course and improve your revision strategy. Select easy chapters as per your strength and gain tremendous confidence by practicing more & more questions. After gaining enough confidence remove that chapter from your final revision list. Now no need to revise that chapter during final revision and be confident about that chapter.

8. Super Suggestion-3: After completing one practical chapter select some landmark question from that chapter which covers almost all technicalities and adjustments of that chapter. Revise this selected question during final revision to recall whole chapter.

You may also put this question in ATLAS. [For ATLAS technique refer my previous Article]

9. Compulsory Question: Prepare special strategy for C.Q. Give a quick reading to C.Q. if you are comfortable with the adjustments given in C.Q. then only attempt C.Q. otherwise attempt other small questions. If you attempt C.Q. without any strategy and lost in the middle of question then “confidence ki to watt lag jayagi mamu”. So be careful.

10. Cost Accounting: First understand cost accounting is a conceptual paper. You can not succeed in cost account without understanding the concept. So work very hard to make your concepts crystal clear.

11. For preparation of cost account first understand the concept from study by practicing study material questions. After that practice scanner and compilation questions.

12. Operation Research: In O.R. paper my first advice would be workout on your mathematical concepts as mathematical skills are really required to excel in O.R. Paper.

13. In O.R. paper practice of ample number of numerical questions is very much required. So after understanding the concept practice more and more questions first from study and scanner and then from any recommended book.

14. Prepare yourself mentally to solve a lengthy question paper. Use scanner to understand the question paper pattern and prepare yourself a strategy to deal with it.

15. Theory Part: In practical paper also theory paper plays an important role. As per my advice prepare your theory notes yourself well in advance including the answers of frequently asked questions. This process helps you to understand the concept and save your time to search theory part here & there at the exam time. However if you got some really good notes you may use them.

16. Importance of Module Questions: As per my suggestion also practice the questions given in the study material provided by ICAI especially when you opt self study. However if you are taking professional coaching then you may avoid study material questions as normally notes provided in private coaching includes study material questions.

17. While attempting theory questions give ‘to the point’ answers. Excess theory may waste your time and spoil your exam.

18. Super Suggestion-4: Use one pen: In exam hall use only one pen. Use of this practice will save at-least 4-5 minutes i.e. time equal to write a short note. Hope you can understand the importance of this point.

19. Underline relevant point: You may underline the relevant point by using the same colour pen. Don’t use highlighter in the exam.

20. Working Note: Use working note method to improve presentation of your question. Whenever you use calculated figure in the question always mention working note no. in the bracket. For example working note no. 1 or 2 and so on.

21. Continue your question as per your concept and assumptions. Never try to match your answer with anybody else.

22. While solving practical questions full focus and concentration is required. So you have to be very calm and cool during your exam. Never make hurry when you are in the middle of a question. It may spoil your question.

23. Query Notebook: Keep a query diary with you during study time and note your queries in this diary and resolve them same day or next day. Do not keep your query unresolved. Don’t forget to mention answer of your query in the query diary.

24. Complete your paper: Try and make an effort to complete your paper 100%. In other words attempt full paper of 100 marks to fetch some extra marks.

25. If any numerical question is completely out of your reach or in case you fail to understand the adjustments given in the question then leave that question immediately and move ahead. Attempt this question in the end.

26. If this is your second attempt then finish revision of your first book as early as possible. Later on add a new book to practice more numerical questions.

27. Have a one hour group discussion with your friends regarding selected exam oriented important topic. Discuss all the theoretical and practical aspects about that selected topic. 

28. Don’t use different notes rather I would suggest select your notes before starting final Examination preparation and stick with them. 10 Days before exam stop adding new topics in your schedule. Just follow your revision schedule strictly.

29. Take care of your Health: Take very good care of your health. Consider your health as a subject. Remember if you fail to perform well in this subject you are going to fail.

30. In the end just believe in yourself and your hard work and most importantly believe in God.

You are requested to please take note of some of simple points mentioned below to cope up with exam failure:

As per my observation don’t get depressed to get the negative result as this may lead to some unwanted action from your side. Kindly observe sometimes the margin is very small like you may miss the success by 5-7 marks in aggregate. This gap is not difficult to fill in the next attempt as our ultimate aim is to clear the group.

Try and figure out the reason for negative result. There may some lack in the revision strategy or preparation. Just find out the exact problem and promise yourself to remove the same.

Believe me no problem can be bigger than lack of self confidence. So just maintain the same. Remember there are lots of students facing the exact situation like negative result so there is no need to exaggerate the things. Just relax and think what went wrong. Just one failure and start getting frustrated is not what CA is all about!!!

I fully understand that under pressure, everyone has moments when they feel unable to cope, but sticking to a realistic positive approach will keep your confidence afloat. In this situation self assessment is the best thing to do and believe me only you can help yourself by searching out the best possible solution to your problem.

As per my experience one of the main reasons of exam failure is a complete failure of revision strategy. So I urge you to prepare and follow or stick to a realistic revision plan as this will again keep your confidence afloat. If you're charting your progress in this way, you're less likely to get intimidated by the workload and end up throwing your hands in the air.

Prepare a revision plan and keep updating the same keeping in view the level of your exam preparation.

After the negative result discuss the things with your teachers or friends and figure out the reasons of failure. This positive discussion will surely help you out to get over the negativity around you. You are requested to consider this point important as this point help you to get out of such moments of frustration and prevent you to take a disastrous decision.

Try and search all possible solutions and help available to succeed in Examinations. Analyse your study methods with the help of your tutor or friend and be ready to change your study style, if required. However drastic changes to study pattern are not advised.

Some of my personal observations as far as good preparation is concerned are as follows:

i.) Focus on conceptual study and clarity.

ii.) Base your study on Scanner along with suggested answers issued by ICAI

iii.) Discuss the topics with your friends for more clarity.

iv.) Keep working on your writing and presentation skills

v.)Do not get confuse between self study or coaching. Decide quickly.

Some of my previous suggestions regarding exam failure are as follows:

In case of exam failure there is no need to blame yourself or your institute or anyone else. It is perfectly all right. Kindly appreciate you are not the only student who got negative result. It happens in professional exams. So nothing to worry about and just move ahead and move with the flow and believe me things will be all right soon.

Suicide is not the solution of anybody’s problems. All the problems in this world are of temporary nature with permanent solution. On the contrary I would advise you to love your problems as you can learn a lot from your problems and in fact they are in your life to teach you something really indispensable. I personally feel that suicide is a selfish act, the victims of which are your family, parents and friends who cares for you. The pain of losing someone close can be devastating and reason or circumstances under which you lose that someone doesn’t make any difference. Before committing suicide one must think that there is hope and there is answer to every problem and failure of life. A foolish step can adversely change the life of those around you. Please think about it. I would urge you to be a bit strong in life and stay away from any kind of suicidal tendencies and thoughts.

Hope I’m able to bring something constructive through this brief write up. In the end I would like to submit that have faith in your abilities and blessings of your parents. You are humbly requested to please share your kind response on the above mentioned suggestions/points.

With Warm Regards,

Ankur Garg

thank you very much sir 

its really motivating :)

one more Q  sir will my reverification may help  me?

heard that institute will not make any change as the credibility will be lost, is it true?

Regarding verification I would like to wish you all the best. It is actually a re-totalling process. It is not a hard rule that institute will not make any change. In case of any genuine mistake in valuation…they’ll surely give you the credit.

But you have faith in your abilities and start preparation. Don’t sit idle for institute valuation result.

Regards
