Tips for Preparation
- Know the basics, like, ledger posting and debit and credit balances.
- Make flashcards to remember the definitions of the new terms you come across, like assets, debts, liabilities, profit and loss. Read these flashcards on your way to school, before dinner or even between lectures.
- Never leave work for later. Accounting is a cumulative subject. This means that it builds on the previous concepts learnt. You can not start from chapter 6, without working through chapters one to five, the more you keep delaying it, the work will keep piling up. Whenever you don’t feel like solving the numerical part, read the summary given at the end of the chapters or go through the flash cards.
- After you finish your syllabus, revise as many times as possible.
- Once you are through with your syllabus, move to paper solving, so as to accustom yourself to the test taking environment. Solve the sample papers given by CBSE and, also, from books like Oswal sample papers.
How to score well
- Before you start the exam, utilize the first 15 minutes to scan the paper. Read the question paper thoroughly before jumping to write the answers.
- Among the questions with internal choices, select the ones that you plan to attempt, and frame skeletons of the answers you are going to write for these questions.Â
- Follow a pattern. For example, in case you start with long answer questions, complete that section and only then move to short or very short answer section.
- Highlight the important points and write your answer in points to enhance visibility.
