Sir/Madam Please guide me what should i do in order to achieve my target of getting 130 marks. Please guide me so that i can achieve the same in future tests. I will be really thank full for the same.
I think you should lay stress n the study matter that has been provided to you and then you should contact people who have already passed CPT, you should take some guidance from them. I think this will help you in a better way.
You can also get a book of sample papers sold by icai itself.....along with practicing CPT Model test papers for good result in the exam. Practice those test papers with examination conditions.
Never waste your time and have a discussion with your friends regarding a specific topic for a better grip.

Here are some tips for u, which was helpful to u for the preparation of CPT Exam.
1) IF ur not from Maths background, then plz keep it in ur mind that u have to get passing marks out of 150.
2) Before Starting revision any chapter of accounts, first study whole theory of that chapter and then only solve 1 or two questions from examples. But solve Maximum questions from EXERCISE.
3) Prepare Mercantile Law Very well, because it was the only scoring subject after accounts. Contract Act is important one.
4)In economics 1st complete Macro economics then go for micro economics. Macro Economics aslo very scoring.
