How much time required to prepare for Accounting, if one has no prior experience

[ProfessorX]

Dear members,

As is clear from the topic name, how much time does a so-called 'newbie' needs to invest to get 150+ marks in the accounts paper.

Anyone here with prior experience?

I see, even though it is high-scoring but it requires time. One can never be too sure, especially if one has no background knowledge relating to the subject, although I have concluded from the FPSC annual reports that it can prove to be a fruitful subject, even if you are not familiar with the subject matter.

200 marks preparation is a big deal.you must invest your best potential.As far as familiarity is concerned,i dont think its necessary for success but your hard work is ...Best of luck

You should not opt accounts if you don't have commerce background.
I got 119 even if I have 2 successive commerce degrees.

Rest is up to you.

Dear Mazhar,

Thank you for your advise but barring a couple of subjects most of us don't have experience with the other optional subjects either, no?

Ecactly it is impossible to have background for every optional subject

Accounting is basically a technical subject as compared to other optionals. I myself opted for this subject without prior experience in the last attempt but i invested my time fairly in this subject. If you are a newbie, consider investing atleast 3+ months in this subject alone. It consumes fair amount of your time because it need practice.

Yes. This is not even enough time for revision. You have so much to cover from various fields. It is like whole syllabus of I.COM, B.Com
