@Dr.Atif Rana,

I am agree with Mohsin. CSS is matter of luck to a great extent. One of my uncle (now he is Fed.sec) was telling me his experience that he tried his best during first sand second attempt but couldnot pass. For third time he wasnot ready but forced by his sister and he went to take exam without preparation. His luck ,his previous efforts helped him and he got through. I m not saying that there is no need to prepare but along with hardwork luck takes u where ur place is decided by Allah. U r saying that my performance is good but I am still not satisfied. I swear by God, I have given you people the true piture of my papers, but now depends how my ideas are perceived by examiners? U konw my elder sister was all Pakistan topper at Middle, matirc and F.Sc level.In matric exam, she wrongly solved a question. In F.sc she wrote Dolls house summary in place of Red shoes.She said she got kknow her mistake when she was checking her paper during last 3 min. But her luck support her so much that she got full marks in English. How? God knows better. So be optimistic. OK share ur experience to let us know. I know u can Inshallah. U know U, Mohsin and Raz(among members) are great source of inspiration for me. Best of luck. Thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!

@ Raz...

Asslam-o-alaikum brother.. i know u'll be tired. but u know i am waiting for ur post about the Accounting paper.how did ur papers go... i have seen pattren of paper-I... hav'nt the compulsory question # 2 minimized the margin of high marks in the paper.. wht do u feel about this 30 marks segment after atempting a 20 marks objective.. ?? and wht about ur paper-II ... whts ur expectations about the results of Accountancy... and wht readings u will suggest to get a good grip on the subjective portion as it has become necessary. will a selective objective preparation work??

Good luck for the results. InshALLAH u will get not only the reward for your hard work but also will get ur share on account of providing so comprehensive and sincere guidence ..

@reformer


Thank you for honest wishes. Reformer, I was waiting for this day to make good loss which I have been carrying from EDS paper. I wanted to compensate that paper and I did it today. Insha Allah accountancy and auditing paper will enhance my merit.

Paper-1: 100% correct in Part-II (Q:2, Q:3, and Q:6)
Fortunately I did not overwrite even a single figure in the complete paper. This was just because of prudent attempt. I knew I have enough time to manage the paper so I used it in constructive way by avoiding any blunder. Used working notes in Q:3, and Q:6. Use working notes in such question because by doing that you can minimize the chances of mistakes and can create your best image before the paper checker, you can earn good marks even if you answer is wrong provided you have done good working to support you answer. Use pencil (Katchi pencil) while writing main figures like GP, NP, Profit and Loss footing, and Balance sheet footing, when You verify your answer and conclude that your answer is correct than remove that pencil work and write it in ink (or ball point, marker). By doing this probability of cutting/overwriting etc can be minimized.

Make friendship with following topics: Final Accounts (Heart of Paper-1), Ratio analysis (Mind of this paper), Budget specially cash budget (Pocket of this paper), Bad debts, and depreciation (supporting tools), partnership (for emergency), Single entry (for IQ), and Non-trading accounts (for rainy day).

Now you can decide about the important topics by seeing their above mentioned description.


Do go through theory: That helps you in MCQs and short notes. (Get help from Gupta, and M.A. Ghani). Its my observation that one learns these concepts at the time of practicing on the practical problems. I have learnt most of the concepts during my routine schedule. I don't find any note/concept/topic in all the past papers of CSS Accountancy paper which is difficult for me to explain or define with suitable examples. This question is halwa.
Don't worry I will be posting some most expected concepts very soon. This is my responsibility to help you people.


Though I know have grip over partnership accounts but I often avoid this topic to attempt because probability of making mistakes is relatively high in this topic. It is better to get grip over final accounts, ration analysis, budgeting, depreciation and single entry. If cover these topics you won't face problem in Paper-1



How was my paper:
Almost 18 MCQs correct and 2 in doubt. Apart from MCQs, all other questions were 100% correct (Dead sure). And I enjoyed a lot by writing on the short notes section. Good exercise.

I don’t believe that short notes have reduced the high marking score trend. You know why, because total marks are 3 per short note. I am firm believer of the practice that don’t leave any margin for the examiner to swallow your marks in these notes. Make these notes all encompassive by inserting maximum relevant information within reasonable length. Try your best to hijack all these 3 marks and make a tuff situation for the examiner to penalize you even with 0.5 marks. Don’t leave any corner weaker in these notes. Follow it, Insha Allah your paper won’t allow space for the examiner to snatch even a single mark.


Expected marks: Not less than 90 (Not more than 95).



Regards

I scored 18 MCQs correct, One incorrect and One still undecided. Cost Accounting Q:3 100% correct, Auditing Q:4 fantastic, Taxation Q:7 made two mistakes but still managed it to score around 15 marks out of 20, Business Organization & Finance Q:8 excellent.


Tips:

Most lengthy paper to prepare and most short to attempt. Wide verity of topics from 4 subjects is covered but paper is very short. I finished my paper exactly within 2 hours and was waiting to pass the time in the exam hall. Lent my calculator to other candidates and then left exam hall.

Cover business organization question because that is the easiest part. (Topics to cove: Sole Proprietor, Partnership, Joint Stock company, Business combinations, Cooperative societies, and few modes of financing).

Cover Auditing section because that is most compact and to the point part of the paper. (Topics: different types of audit, classes of audit opinions, responsibilities of auditor, and internal control).

Cost Accounting: Practice Cost of goods manufactured and Cost of Goods sold statement, variance analysis (Standard costing: Material, Labour, and Overheads), Process costing (Cost of production report), inventory valuation methods, and EOQ. For theory cover different types of costs, and difference between financial accounting and cost accounting.

Taxation: Master calculation of Tax liability of salaried individual. Just go through other topics for reading purpose.


Expected marks: 80 +
