www.caspot.com brings you the exclusive post of writing CA Papers For End Minute Exam Tips ,
Please Read And Share it ::
Here is a small attempt to quickly focus on few
important point regarding IPCC and CA Final exams .
This is not about what to study , how to study and from
where to study . There is not time for that, whatever I ’ m
writing is all about writing exam papers. If its not your
attempt or you are not “attempting ” , this article may
help you when you are actually attempting your exams !
( Save and refer this article preferably a week before
exams)
ASSUMPTION : YOU ARE DONE WITH YOUR STUDIES!!
ATLEAST ABOVE 80 % OF THE ENTIRE SYLLABUS which
means you are in a position to ATTEMPT CA EXAMS .
CA exams being a Professional exam the answers in the
papers should also be professional . Atleast it should look
professional to the paper checker. By looking
professional I mean the content should be written
professionally . Bear in mind these are not your regular
University B .Com papers. Every word counts . The golden
rule is IT ’ S ABOUT PRESENTATION WHEN YOU ARE DONE
WITH STUDIES. Studies can give you 40 marks , but with
effective presentation as well you can definitely reach
and cross 50 marks !
FOR THEORY SUBJECTS:
1 . Any answer should be written in point format.
Maximum 2 sentences in one point. No answers in long
paragraphs . You are writing an answer , not an essay !
Don ’ t make is difficult for paper checker to find the
answer in your essay.
2 . Write spaciously . You have paid exam fees , right ! Use
as much paper as you want. PREFERABLY WRITE ONE
ANSWER ON ONE PAGE , EVEN IF YOU HAVE USED JUST
HALF OF THE PAGE. See to it that your answers are not
broken down in 2 pages , it gives an impression that the
answer is small . One answer on one page gives a complete
picture of the answer .
3 . Every point has a few crux words. Underline them
wherever possible. This makes paper checker’ s work
easier . This is a psychological game you play with paper
checker. Impress him that you know the answers , impress
that you are confident by underlining the crux words.
This leads to the difference between 1 mark and 1 and
half mark . Cumulatively THIS MAKES A DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN 39 AND 40 OR 59 AND 60 EFFECTIVELY making a
DIFFERENCE OF 6 MONTHS!!
4 . Impress the paper checker that you know professional
words, be it your maximsfor your Corporate law papers ,
writing ‘ Apex Court of India : Supreme Court’ or
‘ Honorable Supreme Court’ similar with Honorable High
Court. It ’ s a professional show- off you may say .
5 . If you have spare time ( which is almost impossible , but
still if you do) underline after every answers . Double
underline after every question set . Basic again I know ,
but effective . Trust me on this , I’ ll explain later why * .
6 . If you remember the name of the case law , well and
good , if you don ’ t but still know which Court (HC / SC /
ITAT ), do quote it . TELLING THE EXAMINER THAT YOU
KNOW (SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING )
7 . Same with Allied laws, you can definitely guess the Act
the question is asked from . Be it Negotiable Instruments
Act , Partnership Act , SOGA , Banking/ Insurance Acts ,
Interpretation of Statutes etc . Quoting the Act with
the year 1981 , 1932 etc . is necessary.
8 . Don ’ t focus on quantity , focus on quality content .
Reminder : These are not your B. Com papers .
9 . IF you are not sure of the section , Clause , Auditing /
Accounting Standard , PLEASE DON ’ T QUOTE IT . Please
don ’ t bluff . Knowing it is important and do quote it if
you know , but please don ’ t take a guess or else you ’ ll be
sure of your next attempt .
10 . Try to attempt in FACTS , ANSWER, CONCLUSION
format . First the facts in brief, then what the facts
lead to, the actual answer , and then the conclusion.
PRACTICAL SUBJECTS:
1 . NEW RUPEE SYMBOL . You are a professional - to- be and
never make use of ‘ Rs .” symbol in exams. Instead use `
symbol everywhere, especially in your final answer .
THERE IS NO EXCUSE TO THIS
2 . As I said earlier leave and draw margins on both sides
of paper even if it is practical subject .
3 . DON’ T FORGET THE UNITS !! Be it Rupees, No.s ,
Dollars , Millions , Lakhs, Kgs , Cms, Per Unit , Per kg etc .
Don ’ t leave to the imagination of paper checker for what
the numbers represent in your working notes and FINAL
ANSWER . Every final answer should have a unit . For eg .
The entire question is about Kgs . So please don ’ t assume
you are not supposed to write Kgsanywhere in the
answer . Also double underline your final answer .
4 . FORMULAS : By reading the question , you can
definitely make out from which chapter the question is
asked , also the sub - type of the question . Thus the
formula clicks in your mind immediately. Write the
correct formula is bigger font , underline or preferably
box the formula.
5 . As a last resort when you are unable to solve the
question due to any reason , but you know the Chapter
and somewhat near to sub - type of the question , write
the formula / concept note of the question asked .
6 . Also when you are not able to write anything about
your last attempt questions (Presuming you keep the
toughest questions to the last ), DON’ T KEEP IT BLANK!!
ATTEMPT , FIGHT FOR THAT half / one extra mark . Write
the Question number , write the data already given in
the question in some different format, write some
concept note relating to the question . REMEMBER THERE
ARE MARKS FOR STEPS TOO!
7 . Also , for Accounts paper , you don ’ t know / cant solve
the entire question , no problem. Attempt it if you have
no other option and there is still bit time left.
Attempting something is better than leaving It blank .
Leaving it blank assures zero mark , but atleast
attempting the question in some way gives you a hope of
1 extra mark .
* It may seem as child ’ s play or child ’ s work of
underlining after every answer , leaving margins etc. BUT
REMEMBER your answer sheet should LOOK
OUTSTANDING !! FIGHT FOR EACH AND EVERY MARK AND
PRESENTATION WILL HELP YOU POSITIVELY . Knowing the
answer is not enough , presenting it well too is the trick .
During the exam underlining etc . may not seem
important , but think that your paper will be checked may
be after a month along with other papers . You definitely
don ’ t wish to be like ‘ any other paper ’ .
OTHER TIPS :
1 . As soon as you receive the question paper , turn it
around . IN NO CASE READ THE FIRST QUESTION FIRST .
Read from the last question , that is in reverse manner .
Why ??! Because you don’ t wanna pressurize
yourself . Generally the last questions are easier and not
so lengthy. Please follow this technique specially in
practical subjects ( Accounts , law , SFM , Costing etc )
2 . Another basic logic which we always tend to
forget , attempt the easiest question first which you
think you are MOST CONFIDENT about . When paper
checker starts checking your paper you surely wish to
start with good impressions. That initial positive effect
helps because the paper checker may award you half mark
extra in the later half of your paper . Your 6 months
hangs on that may of the paper checker
3 . THE THUMB RULE IS MAKE PAPER CHECKER ’ S LIFE
EASY . Make him happy with your paper , and he may make
you extra happy . So, clean and complete answers , use of
underlines , double lines, Units , judgments , Courts etc
are the icing on the cake .
4 . RTPs are a must . Preferably last 2 RTPs too ! There is
a reason Institute is taking efforts to make , print and
send RTPs to students , thus they’ ll see to it that
students read it too . Also if no question is asked in your
first paper from RTP , never ever think the same would
happen in next paper too . Never .
Right now this much I can think of. I ’ ll write more if
anything else comes up my mind .
ALL THE BEST GUYS ! SUCCESS IF YOURS! GO FOR IT !
