Answering Questions pcc

1. Can we write answers in jumbled manner say for eg. cost accounting paper consist of 5 section. Can i first attempt 3rd section and then go to 1st section and then to 5th.

Answer:

Yes, you can,  but  I will say if possible don't do the same as it can irritate the examiner.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Even in one section there are subsections, for eg. 1st section of cost accounting has 6 ques out of which 5 need to be answered, should all the 5 sub questions be solved at one place.

Answer :Yes, all sub section of a question  are to answered at one place.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Is it any harm in attempting extra / additional questions?

Answer: No, infact out of the extra question attempted the question in which  one gains highest number is considered and one which leas to leat number are crossed, but generally examiner does not bother and crosses the last one, Better in stead of answering extra question revise and check entire paper.

4. Does handwriting's neatness and legibility have any affect on marks, since my writing is very small and if i try to write normal, the speed of writing generally decreases. 

Answer: Handwriting, doesnot vreated any hinderance in marks, provided it is legible and not confusing, focus on speed and write answer pointwise so that your answer copy appear clean.

5. Are RTP's really helpful for theory questions, especially for infotech and strategic management?

Answer: RTP, as the name suggest is provided to student for revision , it is not a suggestion or probable or "like to come"  question, it is good for revision, after completing your entire study you can evaluate or  your preparation using RTP. it is also  useful to know the pattern of question aksed,  manner of writing, answer, solving sum etc.

Hello Jim.... Following points are for you....

Yes, we can write the answers to the questions in jumbled manner.. i.e its not compulsory to write in order..

But yes, the sub-sections are to be solved at one place only.. Under the same section.. And if they are written orderly then its good...

There is no harm in attempting additional questions, but truely speaking u will not even get enough time to think about it..

You should give enough time to your writing coz i dont know whether they fetch good marks but neatness and legibility do put a good impression on examiner..

Yes, RTPs are really very useful at the last moments of the examination.. Nd let me tell u a secret.. in june 2009, especially in info tech and sm, 50 % of the questions asked were covered in RTP..

And lastly I will just say one thing.. Dont just work hard but smart work is equally necessary..

Bye.. Nd all the best...

 Thanks Manmohan and Darshu for your advice.

Appreciate your efforts for the answers.

If others have some important points as well, please do provide.
