www.caspot.com brings you the exclusive post of How To Study For CA & CS ? The Best Study Tips Till Now!!
The
purpose of studying the various subjects in the CA course by the
students is to acquire adequate knowledge whether it is basic knowledge,
working knowledge or expert knowledge, as the case may be, so as to
perform well in the examination. In the context of students, adequate
knowledge acquired in the various subjects has to be sufficiently
durable, retainable, recallable and presentable on appropriate
occasions. The process of acquiring knowledge is like building bricks,
piece-by-piece. A student might have acquired, over a period of his
student career, a set of learning or study skills, styles and attitudes
for building the bricks of knowledge in his mind. Even so, it may be
worthwhile to spell out and suggest a few appropriate and helpful study
skills and learning attitudes for the benefit of students.
As
you sit comfortably in a serious learning mode and in a conducive study
setting, you take up the first topic, consisting of say 5-10 or more
pages in the subject of your choice for study. Give a quick reading in
the first instance, size up its anatomy and warm yourself up for an
intensive, in-depth study. As you study, understand the definitions of
concepts, and highlight and note them down separately. You also have to
analytically grasp and etch in your mind several aspects of discussion
of the topic, for example:
? Central theme and structure of the topic.
? Various elements of the concepts and the underlying principles and assumptions.
? Linkages among the concepts and their facets.
? Similarities and differences among the concepts and processes.
? Steps involved in the various processes.
? Cause and effect relationship among the ideas and discussions.
? Characteristic features of a situation.
Desirable to make organized, brief and clear notes on all the important aspects as you study
You
may prepare a set of small, simple graphics to depict some of the above
aspects, so as to gain more understanding. Also, frame a few relevant
small questions and problems and spell out answers and solutions. This
will clarify your thinking better. Relate what you have already known on
the topic with the new insights, if any. Ask yourself whether what you
read makes sense. You can try 'humanizing' the matter of your study by
thinking of a few examples in real life, a few human characters and role
players. Read again those aspects and areas which you have not
adequately understood; prepare a list of such areas which you have still
not understood even after extra effort, so that you may quickly refer
to other sources, like a text-book, friends, seniors, teachers etc. In a
topic, each and every point or aspect may not be equally important.
Some may be more important and the others less; segregate the former
from the latter and also from needless details and peripheral areas.
After
you finish studying the topic, take a pause for a while to reflect and
recall in an organized manner the integrated picture of what you have
understood. Look back into the matter again to check whether you have
been able to recall all the important aspects of the topic. Make a
simple summary in writing of what you have learnt at the end of the
notes.
As
you progress in the coverage of different topics of the subject, adopt
the practice with a sense of determination and drive, which will
definitely help you in the examinations.
Form a Study Group
There
is a strong case for forming a small study group in the neighbourhood.
The group may engage in collective study and learning of the various
theoretical and practical subjects. They may assemble at a place
frequently (twice in a week, for example), exchange feedback on their
studies, understood/not understood during the last few days, try to
clear doubts, reinforce their knowledge collectively, set a question
paper by themselves and attempt it under examination conditions,
exchange the answer papers for 'peer' evaluation and feedback and so on.
These exercises have a synergistic value in the sense that the amount
of knowledge acquired collectively is more than the sum of the amounts
of knowledge acquired individually. One can always learn more by
learning together.
The
study group may also act as a social group for brief
relaxation-oriented fun sessions to drive away traces of stress, fears
and frustrations of group members.
