5 . Interpret the Question.
Answer what is asked for and not what you know. One may write `many pages, but if it is not relevant to the question, you will not get any mark.
Imp Note: We do not read the questions properly, For example Q. is Describe the use of Accounting ratios in assessing the performance of business.
A lot of students immediately start to describe how to calculate various accounting ratios. Marks will obtain NIL. The question asked for the use of accounting ratios not how to calculate ratios.
6. Note easiest one to you
Some of you get panicky while glancing through a paper for the first time. Instead, you should settle down, read and understand the questions carefully and then start by answering the easiest question first, so as to feel self-confident.
Dont work so fast that you start making careless error.
Underline the key words in the question.
Read the paper once again for better and enhanced understanding.
Read the requirements of the question carefully i.e. what is asked? Half the answer is replied if you exactly find out "what is required?"

Handwriting: Make an effort to keep your handwriting legible.
