04 October 2013 Simple and Effective Revision Tips for Students

As we all know revision is an important aspect of preparation of professional examination. One needs to do intelligent revision of the course as many times as possible. Reason being lack of revision may become the reason of your failure. A good revision is just like a super –key to your success. But you must know how to use this key. Just think positive about your exam, about your exam preparation and other co-related things. Never think that “This technique is not gonna work for me”. Keep yourself ready to accept new ideas and tricks to succeed in life.

1. Prepare a revision plan: Before starting the revision it is very important to prepare a revision plan. In fact this plan should be in your mind from the very starting i.e. when you start preparing for exams bcoz without proper revision it is very difficult to re-call anything during exam time.

2. Review the revision material: For a effective revision plan I would suggest you to divide the course content in to 3 categories:

a.) First: In the first category you may add all the important topics and frequently asked questions given in scanner. Here also add topics which are imp from the practical question point of view especially in Audit and law.

b.) Second category: In the second category add topics regarding the exam importance of which you are confident and which are easy in preparation and revision. A good revision of this category will strengthen your position in exam.

c.) Third Category: In this category add the balance topics which are not important from exam point of view. Just give them a basic reading and finish them off. During routine preparation give this kind of topics a sound reading in order to understand them.

3. Knowledge of important chapters: Exercise given in second point will help you to understand the structure of course from the revision point of view. First of all at the time of revision it is very essential to have the knowledge of important chapters and topics. So prepare a list of important chapters and topics and first revise them. This will save your time and energy during the final preparation of your exam and enhance your confidence bcoz you know important topics are on your tips at the exam time.

4. Simple reading to other topics: For topics not covered in point no. 2 (a) and (b), i.e. those which according to you are not really important for coming exam, just give them a reading for better understanding. Try and be confident about these topics. Basic knowledge of these topics is enough. This will again save your time and energy and prevent you from confusion regarding what to revise and what to leave.

5. Prepare very small notes for revision: During my study time I was really fond of this technique. We used to prepare very short note of a super imp topics in out note book and mention the page number of note book on our study material or reference book. Later on during final revision open that page number of your note book and revise the topic quickly.

6. Discussion with your group: Another wonderful way to revise is to discuss topics with your friend circle. It will help to you revise the things without any special effort and improve your re-calling power. I used to teach my friends who help me a lot to make commend on given topics especially in law. If you successfully resolve the study related issues of your friends that means your preparation is good.

7. Avoid multiple reference books or notes: During normal preparation it is very much understandable to refer more than one book or notes. However in the process of revision I would suggest you to use single book or use your note book. This is really important to save your time and maintain your revision planning. Revising one topic from multiple books is really fetal to your preparation. Hence plz remember this point.

8. Use latest gadgets: Earlier this technique was not available for our revision and now also most of the students are not aware about this trick to revise. I got this idea from my cousin. He used to feed the notes in his phone enriched with MS office and easily revise everything during commute time. I really found this trick very useful and now with technological advancement in the field of phones and i-pads it becomes very easy for everyone. I understand it is not possible for everyone but still we may consider this as a revision method.

9. Workout on your basics and follow conceptual study: For quick and successful revision at the exam time it is very important to have clear idea of concepts and basics. If your concepts and basics are not clear then revision will take extra time. So as per my suggestion work very hard at the time of usual preparation for a better result bcoz revision process is just to remind you what you have prepared during usual preparation of your subject and chapters.

10. Understand the importance of time management: If you are not interested in understanding the importance of time management, then this kind of professional study is not for you. A good time management is required at every stage of your professional life. Follow your revision schedule regularly without fail. Always think about how to use your time in the most efficient manner. In short never waste your time as it is money.

One more thing I’d like to add is:

If your goal is to get success in exam than a good revision is a step to help you achieving your goal. Time management is most essential part of planning. Keep sufficient time for revision. Start planning for revision at least a month before the exams. One should make realistic plan to get the time for revision and must stick to it and at the same time one must not get upset if occasionally there are deviations from the schedule. Give some margin of flexibility to it.

Whenever you get time from your study schedule don’t forget to be with your family just to recharge yourself.

I sincerely hope that this article will help you to do well in your exam bcoz the points above are quite realistic and manageable according to me. If you like this article please shares your thoughts.

Thanks

04 October 2013 I’d like to share some of the very basic suggestions connected with Exam preparation. As suggested by the title of this rite-up these suggestions are very general in nature and very easy to implement and you may use them for any kind of exam preparation.

I truly believe that it is really indispensable for all of us to follow the basic rules of the game to register a win. Some time we miss the general essentials or principles to succeed in search of something extra-ordinary. So we have to be careful about the same. Sincerely hope that these suggestions would be of some help in your exam preparation.

1. Figure out your mistake or reason for low marks, if any, in the previous Examination and promise yourself to avoid them in your next exam. Believe me only you can do this valuation for yourself…

2. To succeed it is of paramount importance to proceed with a goal and corresponding strategy. So first set your goal and focus accordingly on your Study and Goal. In short if your vision towards your future is not clear then this will only create problems for you. So think about it.

IMPORTANCE OF GROUP STUDY

3. It is high time for us to understand the importance of group study. But there are certain pre-conditions for a successful group study. Accordingly I’d request you to properly plan your study schedule for the day and inform the group members in advance. Finish the entire schedule within the fixed time period.

4. Kindly observe some of my general suggestions:

i.) Never waste your time as time indeed is equal to money in professional examinations.

ii.) Prepare and follow a sound study plan from the very beginning.

iii.) Never hesitate and fully discuss your study related problems with your friends or seniors.

PRESENTATION SKILLS

As per my understanding one of the reason behind recent low marking is lack of concentration in theory paper along with poor presentation and writing skills.

Kindly appreciate Exam pattern is now practical Question based and not flat Question based so presentation and writing skills becomes very important.

For improved presentation and writing skills I would suggest you to refer answer presented in ICAI suggested answers. Careful observation of ICAI suggested answers is very important and can change the entire picture. You may also refer previous exams guidelines answers issued by ICSI to figure out some extra-ordinary presentation skills.

5. Invest your time in Exam oriented discussion. There are two advantage of this activity:

i. You may discuss your problems during such discussions and resolve them quickly in the early stage.
ii. These discussions will also help you to focus on your goal.

6. In examination hall length of answer plays an important role due to time factor. Keep this factor in mind and plan your answer accordingly.

7. Mental strength is very important. So prepare yourself mentally and physically for Examination cum War.

8. Very Important Revision Tips: What you prepare on Monday try and recall it on Tuesday without using books. If you are able to recall 60%-70%, then you are 100% going to succeed in this examination. Again try to recall the same after the gap of 2-3 days.

9. Use abbreviation method. If you have 10 points to remember in a question give them a certain abbreviation and remember that abbreviation. This technique is really very helpful. Just try it.

10. Stay away from Time wasting and unproductive habits. At least during exam times.

11. Prepare a list of questions which you consider tuff or a bit time consuming. Prepare a handout yourself with solution of these questions and give them a reading on regularly basis with a time gap of 2-3 days.

12. Prepare a list of frequently asked questions asked in the previous examinations and practice/revise them properly.

13. Give a little bit time to every subject per day. Try and increase your study time day by day.

14. After a certain time (close to exam) do not add any new topic in your schedule. Just focus on revision-revision and revision.

15. Stop collecting different notes per day. Try and figure out the notes which are relevant for you and support your style of study. Only use them for exam purpose.

16. 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.
