NEW DELHI, FEBRUARY 28: Accountancy Class 12th
H.N. KESHWANI, accounts teacher at Modern School, Barakhamba Road, has some counsel for students on how to tackle the Accountancy paper: 8220;Fifty per cent of the paper can be easily understood. So don8217;t breeze through the paper and dismiss questions just like that.8221;
He suggests that students start with the Part B Analysis of Financial Statement of the question paper. Part B, he says, takes about an hour to complete and the half an hour that the student saves here could then be used in Part A, which is Partnership Accounts and Company Accounts, involving lengthy calculations with balance-sheets.
She suggests that one must begin with what they feel most comfortable with. 8220;Do not find faults with the question paper,8221; she observes strongly, 8220;and do not get swayed by the mood. You8217;ll only be wasting your time.8221;
Instead, she advises that you time yourself. 8220;Broadly put, Part A of the paper must not take you more than two hours and Part B more than an hour. A typical Partnership question should not take you more than 15 to 20 minutes,8221; she says. A lot of students tend to get confused over which method to use to attempt a particular question, but Khurrana suggests that you stick to what you8217;ve been practising throughout.
