IF YOU CONTINUE TO DO WHAT YOU USED TO DO BEFORE;

YOU WILL GET THE SAME RESULT WHICH YOU HAD BEFORE.

( Many students immediately start their studies on declaration of CA results, but without any major changes in their study patterns, presentation and style ).

This is the only reason of continuous failure of CA students.

The following facts are based on my research on study patterns of students :

1. Many students can't complete the paper due to slow speed.

After examining various students; now I find that they also have slow speed of reading. If speed reading is missing; subject would also become typical to understand.

For example; in law subjects; if there is not a good speed to read the sections; the meaning would not be understood well.

Hence slow speed of reading results into slow think process which ultimately leads to slow writing.

2. Whether speed reading is possible for every student ?

Suppose one students reads 6 pages per hours and another one can read 12 pages per hour. It looks simple to know its effect of consuming double time but still students don't care to improve their speed.

Why ?

Because they mentally accept that their reading speed is slow.

Most of the students don't try to increase the reading speed.

CONTD....Please don't post anything till I complete.....

3. First reading of the Book is too slow

Major fault is to focus first reading with too much care.

Although all students know very well that first reading will not give good confidence in the subject. Still they consume a good portion of their study time in first reading.

4. HOW TO OVERCOME FIRST READING SPEED BREAKER ?

1st Step : Refer Index of the Book and mark New Words.

2nd Step : To know the meaning of New Words : open the page number shown against the point in the Index and read only 2 lines of the relevant para.

3rd Step : Before you close your study hour; revise the new terms. It will hardly take 10 more minutes.

4th Step : Have a look of Index ( in parts - every time ) daily to familiarise with the topics and its contents.

5th Step : Read the whole index of the book in this manner at least for 4 times. It will hardly take 4-5 days.

6th Step : Now start one topic and read its heading only.

7th Step : Now start the full topic. Surprisingly; you will not find any speed breaker which disturbed you before.

8th Step : Revise the whole chapter. It will hardly take 15-20 minutes.

Benefits :

1. Confidence in the subject and its topic.

2. Less time consumption in Thought process of the contents

3. Ultimately increase in the speed of reading and writing.

Very Correct Observation and Good Suggestions by Surendra Sir.

Also try to write what you study and make note of your own. It will keep you in writing practice and the notes will be easier to revise.

Also sometimes in exam we make a very simple mistake (At least i made this mistake many times). Even if you know a lot about a certain topic or question write only as much as required and marks alotted to question. Sometimes when we know the answers very well we tend to write a bit to much and therefore loose very valuable time. So dont make this mistake.
