While preparing for Accountancy paper, students should keep the following points in mind:
1. Students should not ignore the theory part and should devote equal time and attention in studying the theory component of their prescribed curriculum.
2. Having studied the theory part of a chapter and understood the concept behind a chapter, students should then move to solving accounting problems.
3. Students must practice Computerized Accounting, if intending to attempt this part of the question paper, on a spreadsheet or a DBMS or even software like Tally.
4. Students must not ignore questions provided at the end of every chapter. CBSE often either lifts questions directly from NCERT books or change the language of the question in the NCERT textbook keeping the essence of the question same.
