Study Strategy Using Kerala PSC Junior Accountant Books 2025
- Start with theory: For each subject/module, first read the relevant chapters/theory to get concepts clear.
- Make your own short notes: definitions, important principles, laws, formulae. Since MCQs test small, precise points, having short but sharp notes helps.
- Do lots of MCQs / Objective questions: Once basic theory is done, use the exercises in those books, past papers, and/or MCQ guides.
- Revision & Mock Tests: Time yourself, practise full sets of MCQs spanning multiple subjects to improve speed and accuracy.
- Keep updated where required (for example company law amendments, tax law changes, etc.).
