There are two skills which must be possessed by every student who are going to write the CA exam.
1. Time Management skills
2. Presentation skills
Time Management skills
Allocate the time available to total mark and it is called time management strategy
Cost management or cost or FM, Direct tax, etc papers seems to be lengthy in nature.
Sorting of exam questions
This is one of the important skills which must be possessed by every student. Classify the question which you know well, Know better, unknown questions. The question may be combined by one knowing well question and unknowing question, knowing well and knowing better, Combinations both unknowing, etc.
Leave all unknown question which being attended after attending first two categories of questions.
Better never leave any questions unattended even if you are un aware about it.
Presentation skills
Presentation is the way in which you communicate whatever you had already learned to the examiner. A communication is effective if and only if both the student and the examiner interpret in the same manner.
Here is the slippery point. You may be worked hard, know all the pros and cons; you may sometime thought that you learned well. But seeing the result, your heart may be broken. This is due to improper presentation.
General presentation
Better to write Point wise with a clear margin number for each point also heading and sub heading. See just an example of a best presented answer in the attachment.
Case law and practical questions
For case law questions and practical question hit with the relevant provisions and draw a good conclusion in your words.
All the best
