· Do not take hot milk before you go for Exam, it can make you feel sleepy.
· Make sure that you do not have any piece of paper along with you in the examination hall, willingly or by default.
· Take your seat 10 minutes before the paper starts and try to concentrate on what you have studied for the exam.

HOW TO TACKLE MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING :-)

As somebody has said, “MORE risk - MORE gain, NO risk - NO gain.” The exam of management accounting also possesses same characteristics; this paper is a unique blend of numerical and theoretical questions. Numerical questions can provide you marks’ leverage where as theoretical questions can bring you margin of safety. Only those students, who are confident of formulae and have practiced them at home, are suggested to attempt the numerical portion, while the rest may try their luck if they desire. There are no predictions about the ratio of numerical and theoretical questions so students are suggested to be ready for any situation (Hope for the best but be ready for the worst).

IF you want to attempt numerical questions:
· Try to understand the formulae in spite of just mugging them.
· Start practicing numericals with solved examples in the book and with the easier questions.
· Do not try to solve big and difficult questions from the book prior to the exam.

IF you want to attempt theoretical questions:
· Try to make an overview of the topics in your mind.
· Make short forms of the list of points.
(e.g.: for functions of management POSDCORB – Planning, Oraganising, Staffing, Directing, Controlling, Recruiting and Budgeting)
· If not able to recall the points, try to relate them with suitable examples.

Wish You All The Best….
