Understand the questions with proper focus e.g. on words like 'state', 'identify', 'compare', 'giving examples', 'with suitable diagram' in case of Business Studies and 'Pass Journal Entry', 'Pass Journal Entries', 'Prepare Ledger Accounts' etc. in Accountancy.
Thorough reading of books is must, for clarity of concepts and their understanding .
The students who have not been able to perform well in house exams. must at least cover minimum learning topics of syllabus.
Reading a topic once is not sufficient. Periodic revisions are must for lasting memory.
For Preparation of your Subjects

Study Notes can be prepared separately in the notebook or on the pages of the concerned book itself.

Before sitting to study, collect all the material needed, like book, a notebook, pen, pencil, marker etc.
You should keep a water bottle and have a sip in between.
Always set your target topic to be covered while studying and instead of setting the duration of time.

As the Exam days are approaching.
Maintain peace of mind using the best technique suitable for you.
Don't poke in the news from unreliable sources.
Reach the examination centre at least an hour before the required time on the first day and thirty minutes before on the day of subsequent exams.
In the Examination Hall
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 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 totalling.
Show the answers, by underlining the main figures or in boxes, as the case may be.
Skip one or two lines after attempting a short answer type question but Always Start attempting Long answer type Question 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 followed. 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.
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 extra and irrelevant material.
In case of long answers you must underline the main headings with dark blue ink only.
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 labelled, 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, read the question given at the end of the case study first, then read the whole case.
All the answers must begin with an introductory sentence, as to what you are going to write. However, Long answers should have a concluding sentence also.
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.
All the Best
