- Work things out practically: This is quite a practical field and so the best way to understand the content is to work out and solve practical problems. Try solving the problems before seeing the solution. The motto is to practice, practice and practice!
- Solve past exam papers: Solve past exam papers to get an idea of what kind of questions will appear in the exam
- Keep up with updates: Accounting standards keep changing from time to time. So, you need to keep up with the latest changes. It is a good idea for you to keep visiting the ICMAI website for any notifications and amendments
