- Respect the subject: Do not take any topic for granted. Cover all the important topics as much as you can because you never know from which part of the syllabus the questions are asked.
- Stick with one material: A very common mistake among students is to use multiple books for one subject. This unnecessarily is overwhelming and might also confuse because different authors use different approaches. For accountancy, it is best to stick with the institute’s study material. For practicing previous year questions, i would recommend Padhuka’s books which cover a lot of questions from the past years.
- Health: This is the part which most of us miss ; taking care of our health. We are so engrossed in studying that we forget to devote time to our body and mind. Sleep well, eat well and stay fit and hydrated. Exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes per day. It works wonders to your mind and body. There is no need to slog and study for 24 hours completely. It is more than enough if you chart out and plan your time for 8 hours per day. Be disciplined and consistent for those 8 hours (with regular breaks). That will help you to study well.
- Group study: If you have a bunch of friends who are willing to do a combined study, it is a great move. It allows to brainstorm and creates combined efforts and outputs .
- Early worm or night owl: Well, charting those 8 hours starting from morning or evening is completely the individual’s choice. You can choose whichever works for you. However, my personal recommendation is to study theory subjects in the morning when your mind is fresh and reserve the practical subjects for the afternoon, when you feel sleepy after a heavy lunch.
- Revise: Try to complete your portions within 3 months and reserve the 4th month exclusively for revision. Divide the number of days in the 4th month for each subject and keep revising till the day before the examination. It is highly important to complete the portions on time.
Happy Learning 🙂
