Stick on most important area

What is the peculiarity of exam question is 40% of  questions set in the exam are repetitive. That you can understand through scanners

Secondly , more mark of questions were set in particular chapter in may exam and that will not be so in November exam. Take the trend analysis of your scanner you can see this peculiarity

Example  In may exam more mark questions will be set from profit and gains from business and profession, but in the November exam the pattern shall be for capital gain chapter ( This is just an example only and really there no similarity)

Some questions will be compulsory  in all exam. Take an example of gross total income problem aspect in Income Tax. This is for the purpose of testing the knowledge about the subject.

Some questions were general and more time and least mark will be set for the exam.

Finally, testing  the knowledge about the amendment area and other recent changes. Say AAS changed in to SA ,  

Make a good trend and pattern for the coming exam and be focus more on these area. Bring your mind and body  towards this direction.

At least two round of coverage before the exam and during the day before exam stick on notes. You cannot cover  single chapter of profit and gains of business and profession in a reputed text book which you had covered  even well also.

But you can cover two time all the area provided if you had made the major points in a single note book.

Make the habit of notes during the initial stages of studies. Care should be taken in the area of notes making

   Tips for writing your exam…..

Stop reading of subject at least half an hour before exam

Be in seat before 15 minute before disbursement of question paper

Take two pen, one calculator, scale, sharpener, eraser etc in your seat

Enter your registration number and make your mind free.

As and when receiving  the question paper  read one time in rough

Start those question which you know better.

If you stopped  in a particular area, leave the same at that point of time and start writing another question rather than thinking and wasting for unknown question.

Allocate the time according to the marks at the disposal.

It is better to write point to point with proper heading and sub heading rather than an essay type answer.

 

For 5 mark question , you just write only five relevant point with proper heading and sub heading. This will help the examiner to track the answer

If you write in essay format, the examiner have to apply search technique and will create negative impact . Don’t adopt cut and paste mechanism which is called mugging up technique.

Answer all un attended question last point of time

Stop writing the exam at least 5 to 10 minute, just read it. You may be find some omission or some correction. This will be a positive impact on examiner.

In short  good preparation and better performance and presentation will help you for cracking the exam for this coming may 10

All the best

i m running out of time boss not giving leaves................ i will get only 20 days off i.e 25th apr to 16 th may .....................

 

The exam duration is not to be counted as leave - it is part of articleship. So, the leave you are getting is not 20 days - but less than that.

Leaves Allowed In Articleship Training

 

1/6 of total articlship ...

follow the Calculation Given as under

35 hrs per week * 156 week (3 years) = 5460 hrs in Total Articlship

per day 6 hrs so 5460/6= 910 working days...

So leave = 1095 total days ( 3 years) -- 910 days working days = 185 leave days

One more thing before you take off with your study table...... DON'T TRY TO MAKE IT REALLY POWER PACKED FROM DAY 1, START GRADUALLY INCREASE YOUR STUDY HOURS......

DONT TRY TO REACH 12 HOURS ON DAY 1 , IT WILL REDUCE YOUR ENERGY BY THE TIME YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR PREPARATION....
