Smart Study Plan for GSEB Class 12 Accountancy Board Exam

Having identified what matters, let’s create a study plan that you can follow step-by-step. With the right structure, you’ll avoid last-minute panic and feel confident when exam day arrives.

Phase 1: Foundation (Weeks 1-3)

  • Read and understand each chapter clearly. Start with Partnership topics, then Companies, then Analysis.

  • Make concise notes: key definitions, formulas, journal entries, ledger entries.

  • Solve basic questions: short answer and very short answer types.

Phase 2: Applied Practice (Weeks 4-6)

  • For each chapter, practice medium difficulty problems (short answer, some long problems).

  • Time yourself. Use the blueprint to allocate time: if a long problem takes 20–25 minutes, practice accordingly.

  • Start making your “most important questions” list (by observing what keeps repeating).

Phase 3: Advanced Problems & Revision (Weeks 7-9)

  • Focus on full length problems: dissolution, cash flow statements, company final accounts.

  • Use previous years’ boards, sample papers (GSEB Class 12) to get real feel.

  • Weekly revision loops: revisit notes, redo problems you made mistakes in.

  • Make a “mistake log”: whenever you go wrong, note down where and why, so you don’t repeat.

Phase 4: Final Revision & Mock Exams (Weeks 10-12)

  • Attempt at least 3 full mock papers under conditions: 3 hours, 100 marks.

  • Post-mock review: check which sections you lost time in, which chapters you are weak in.

  • Last two weeks: focus on high yield topics only (as per blueprint), quick revision.

  • Maintain health: proper sleep, good diet and moderate breaks to keep mind fresh.

Time-Management & Exam Day Strategy

Even with strong preparation, how you manage time and approach the paper matters.

  • Read entire question paper quickly (5 mins) before starting; mark questions you are confident in.

  • Start with questions you know well—this builds momentum and confidence.

  • Keep an eye on time: for example, if there are 3 long problems worth 24 marks each, allocate ~40 minutes each including reading/writing time.

  • Write neatly, present solutions clearly: Titles, labels, workings—board examiners appreciate clarity.

  • Don’t spend too long on one problem. If stuck, move on and come back if time permits.

  • Write full workings even for short answer questions—it shows your process and often earns partial credit.

  • Allocate last 10–15 minutes to review: check for missing workings, careless errors, signature, page numbering if required.


Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Recognising what students commonly do wrong gives you an edge. Here’s what to watch out for:

  • Neglecting basics: Many students jump to big problems without mastering journal entries, ledger postings. Build the foundation first.

  • Ignoring small chapters: Just because a chapter seems “small”, it doesn’t mean it appears less. Even small topics like “Accounting for Not-for-Profit Organisations” get questions.

  • Poor time management: Spending too much on one long problem leaves short answer questions poorly done.

  • Weak revision: Doing problems once then moving on without re-visiting means you forget swiftly. Use spaced repetition.

  • Messy presentation: Illegible handwriting, missing labels, no clear workings reduce your marks.

  • Not solving sample papers: Without practicing real exam-style questions you won’t know your speed / accuracy.


Useful Resources & Link Suggestions

  • Download the official GSEB Class 12 Commerce syllabus and blueprint from the GSEB website.

  • Solve past years’ sample papers and official blueprints. 

  • Use solved question banks for Accountancy Class 12 (GSEB) for guidance.
