- Use the language of the ICAI as well as keywords.

- Go through commonly asked case laws and amendments.
Observing these key tips can lead to improved answer framing and better grades.

Particular | Details |
Paper format | Divided into MCQs + Descriptive questions. |

Descriptive Marks | 70 marks are awarded for both case law-based and application-focused questions. |
Weightage Distribution | Different chapters are graded differently, which aids in setting revision priorities. |

Use headings and subheadings for better clarity- Use of headings and subheadings brings a clear presentation to your answer, so break the answer into different sections according to the question's needs, like “Facts”, Provision, Analysis, and more. This will give the examiner an eye-catching answer, increasing the marks for the presentation of the answer and boosting its value also.
