For Accountancy minimum learning would mean, NPO, Partnership Accounts and Analysis of Financial Statements part.
Reading a topic once is not sufficient. Periodic revisions are must for lasting memory.

While making notes, mnemonics, mind maps, diagrams, flowcharts, symbols etc. play an important role.

Relax and concentrate, keeping in mind that this time will produce the result of all the efforts of the year.
Read the instructions written on the backside of title page of the answer sheet .
Make the best use of the fifteen minutes reading time, by planning and grasping what is required to be written.
Follow the sequence while attempting the questions, writing the answers you know well first, leaving the space for difficult ones to be handled later on.
Read the question once more, before writing the answer.
Some common mistakes in Accountancy exam. are usually done in hurry more than due to lack of knowledge.
Format of Accounts and Statements must be drawn properly.
Working notes are part of the solution so, must be shown and rough work should be kept separate.
In all the statements and accounts, Write the digits in symmetry, to save time and effort in totaling.
Show the answers, by underlining the main figures or in boxes, as the case may be.
For Fill in the blank Questions, the whole question must be shown and the answer figures and entries underlined(highlighted).
OTQ answers should be written precisely mentioning the part as well as answer statement in case of MCQ. Working notes must be given, if required, even in case of OTQ.
Skip one or two lines between answers of very short/ short questions but Always Start Long Questions on Fresh Page.
When you need to cut anything written wrongly , just cut it by single horizontal stroke on the word, amount or sentence and a big cross on the statement or an account.

Special Tips For Business Studies:

Word limit for the answers to different questions must be adhered to. Rather than counting the words in the answer make a rough estimate of your words in a line and then count the number of lines to be used.

For questions carrying 1 mark: Write answer in one word or one sentence.

For questions carrying 3 marks: Write three points, with their explanation in brief.

For questions carrying 4 marks: Write four points along with their brief explanation.

For questions carrying 5 marks: Write five points, with their explanation in brief and;

For questions carrying 6 marks: Write six points, with their explanation in brief.

Explanation of each point should be 2 - 3 sentences, depending on individual expression of the students. But if the number of points to be given are specifically mentioned in the question, there is no need of giving extra points in your answer.
Answers must be precise and to the point. Write what is relevant to the question .Don't try to impress the examiner by writing the material not asked in the question directly or indirectly.
In case of long answers you must underline the main headings with dark blue ink. Colour ink other than blue is strictly prohibited in the examination.
Answer to questions involving difference must be written in columns.
Questions involving process must be answered in steps in serial order. If that sequence is broken you should not expect marks for the answer. Must give a diagram clearly labeled, showing the process.
In case of internal choice in the questions, try to attempt direct questions, to get maximum marks.
While starting to write the answer to the question, once again read the question thoroughly to decide the answer required by the examiner.
Answers must be written as per the marks allotted and the budgeted time.
You can use small cartoons and diagrams to support your answers.
While answering the questions involving case studies, try to read the question given at the end of the case study first, then read the case like you are reading some detective story.
Long answer questions must be started with brief introduction and ended with conclusion.
However ,all the answers must begin with an introductory sentence, as to what you are going to write.
Above all, you must make it sure to follow the Golden Principle "Make the examiner happy by writing what he wants, he will make you happy by giving the marks that you want".
Always tie your sheets securely and tightly, checking again your particulars on the title sheet.
