2. ICAI Study Material is must: As a general understanding ICAI study material is a must for
ITSM preparation. Many successful students have shared their opinion that ICAI study
material is best for exam preparation and for fetching good marks. Chapter in the study of
ITSM has been organized to provide a logical sequence to facilitate easy understanding. It is
a fact that language of the material is a bit technical and so is the subject. But regular study
you’ll be able to understand the language of Study material. For a quick grasp of the subject
during the examination days a summery has also been inserted in the end of each chapter.

material with Review Questions to analyze the understanding of the topics. It is also
available in Hindi.

6. I would also suggest you one strategy that a heavy topic should be followed by a small topic.
In other words after completing a heavy chapter, start a small and easy chapter. Just to give
you an example after completing the chapter of flowchart and Decision table don’t start

7. Revision Strategy: A good Revision strategy is also important in a subject like ITSM. In case
of poor revision, it would be difficult for you to recall ITSM concepts and formulas in exam
hall. If you fail to revise, your ITSM paper would be a complete disaster. So beware about
the same. Hence after completing all the chapters revise all of them one by one in the same
order in which you have made first reading.

are quite relevant:
Information Technology:
i. Start with easy chapters like Data Storage, Retrieval & DBMS and they have good
weight-age also. So do this first.

this part, do all illustrations from module and questions of Practice Manual. iii. After that prepare Internet and Other Technology. Many topics also easy under this

from module too.
Strategic Management:
i. Start SM preparation from last chapter to first chapter.
ii. Do Practice Manual first as if once you do it around 60-70% course will be covered. From
Practice Manual its quite easy to read topics as they are given question format rather
than paragraphs as given in modules. And generally questions get repeated, so prepare those questions thoroughly and you will definitely score in subjects.
iii. Now start reading from Chapter 7. You can read from module as its language is easy. iv. Do all chapter end questions from module because true & false many times comes out
of it. So better to go through that. And there are sometime 4 marks filling the blanks, so
for it, just go through the quotation given before starting the chapter. Just go through
past papers, you will find those one liners in the form of filling the blanks.

10. Other notable points: Please take note of the below mentioned relevant point regarding
preparation of ITSM:
preparation of ITSM:
a. It is really important to classify less relevant portion of your study. I would suggest you
to refer Scanner to figure out the portion of ITSM subject which is least important from
exam point of view. This will help you to save time and energy.

workout on your writing and presentation skills.
c. You are advised to practice such numerical questions which cover the technical points,
formulas and adjustments of entire chapters.
d. Try and make an effort to complete your paper 100%. In other words attempt full paper
of 100 marks to fetch some extra marks as marking is done on step basis.

e. Keep a query diary with you during study time and note your queries in this diary and
resolve them same day or next day. Do not keep your query unresolved. Don’t forget to
mention answer of your query in the query diary.

to worry about amendments etc.
