2) Be very careful about the formats with proper headings. Journal entries should be with narrations.
3) To get the command in calculations students should avoid using calculators. Rigorous practice of numerical questions will assure the correctness of calculations.
4) Utilise the reading time of the question paper to plan the sequence of solving questions.
5) Try to solve 8 marks and 6 marks questions first to avoid last moment haste, as these questions require more time.
6) Objective type questions always should be attempted sequentially. Students should write the whole answer with the correct option number or alphabet.
10 ) As CBSE has changed the pattern of question paper students should prepare the theory portion also by a thorough reading of chapters.
11 ) Avoid overwriting and cutting the answers. Rough work always should be done separately on the last page.
12 ) To avoid wastage of time read the question carefully and present the answer to the point.
13 ) Attempt all the parts of the questions at one place and in the correct order. For example revaluation Account, Partners’ Capital Account and Balance Sheet should be done in this order and at one place.
14 ) Students should be very careful about adding zeros to the calculated amount, to avoid unnecessary reduction of marks.
