How to start preparation for # IT & SM and the topic not covered in exams : share this status as much as possible
I am starting with the last paper of IPC/IPCC examination because this is the subject where lots of the students get struck and are failed. So I would suggest you to follow my steps to crack this subject with good marks.
In IT SM subject, from practice manual 45 to 50 marks paper will be definitely asked because questions are repeated each time, so you should concentrate on that if you have less time. Tips for #Information Technology :
1. In this part, start with easy chapters like Data Storage, Retrieval & DBMS and they have good weight-age also. So do this first.
2. Now do flowchart and Decision table marks covered 8-10. For a good grip in this part, do all illustrations from module and questions of Practice Manual.
3. Then come on Internet and Other Technology, many topics also easy under this chapter and scoring also. So do it properly.
4. Now do Software and Computer Network & Network Security chapter this chapters are heavy i.e. have lots of topic. So try to cover as much as you can.
5. Now just check the definitions asked in past exams from practice manual and RTPs, and from module too.
Tips for #Strategic Management :
SM Tip: Start SM preparation from last chapter to first chapter.
1. Do Practice Manual first as if once you do it around 60-70% course will be covered. From Practice Manual its quite easy to read topics as they are given question format rather than paragraphs as given in modules. And generally questions get repeated, so prepare those questions thoroughly and you will definitely score in subjects.
2. Now start reading from Chapter 7. You can read from module as its language is easy.
3. Do all chapter end questions from module because true & false many times comes out of it. So better to go through that. And there are sometime 4 marks filling the blanks, so for it, just go through the quotation given before starting the chapter. Just go through past papers, you will find those one liners in the form of filling the blanks.
# Note: "Exclusion of certain topics from IT paper from November 2012 CA IPCC examination and for Nov 2013 exam too.." i.e. no question will be asked from this chapters given in below because these are completely irrelevant for CA curriculum.
>So in chapter 1 only the remaining chapter which is Software will be asked, so we can say the weightage of the Chapter Software has very much increased and so you must read this chapter properly for better results.

In study .material of above topic : 1.1- 1.105 #Chapter-IV: Internet and other Technologies : topic: EDI & Page no. In study material : 4.48 –4.53
>EDI also is one topic which is given in Internet chapter which is not going to be asked in Nov. 2013 CA IPC/IPCC examination.
