Company Secretary Course is considered one of the toughest & prestigious course amongst professional courses like Chartered Accountancy and Cost Accountancy Courses. This Course requires students to have deep knowledge of laws and regular updates. Tension gets mounted when exams approach and most of students even after preparing for a long period of time loose their patience during last stage of preparation before the exams. I have also faced all the three exams i.e CS, CA & CMA and cleared very easily but never lost my patience, so whatever I have learnt from my experience is try to share with you. Noteworthy point is that different students have different caliber and stamina to study, so they can study according to their own plan if they find that suitable.
Tips for CS Executive Preparation when you are left with few days before exams
1. Never read all subjects on a single day, because it makes all messy and confusing.
2. Read the first paper during first 2-3 days before the first exam.
3. In module I , paper of Company Law is typical, and in December, 2014 exams most of the questions were practical situation based, so students are advised to read this paper very carefully and point by point, for practical questions help of any standard book like CA Final Corporate Laws & Allied Laws authored by Munish Bhandari may be taken, but students are advised that this book is mainly for CA Final students so try to read only practical questions from this book after reading your provisions from whatever source.
4. First three exams are OMR based, so try to solve MCQ at least once from any standard book, if students are unable to find any standard book from the market, then students can read scanner published by Suchita Parkashan, but please note that first read the topics from Module or any standard book then go for MCQ.
5. Percentage required to clear the exams is at least 40% in each exam and at least 50% in aggregate, in December, 2014 exams most of students got exemption i.e 60% or more than that, marks in the OMR based paper but could not get even 40% marks in the other subjective papers especially Company Law & Capital Market and Securities Law Exams. Reason was that when you are attempting MCQ based questions you get four answers, when answer is before you it becomes easy to pick that and moreover there is no negative marking in CS Exams unlike in CA CPT exams, which makes CS OMR based papers very easy, so students are advised to devote extra time to subjective papers rather than OMR based papers.
6. For the last three attempts, Capital Market and Securities Law paper is also covering practical approach based paper, I consider this paper toughest from students point of view, only way to get through this paper is firstly to read the module or any standard book carefully then try to read at least once previous exams from any book of students like.
7. There is saying that what you think in your mind is in your hands, so now only think exams and avoid any party or functions etc. because few days before and during exams even a little thing makes maximum distraction, so avoid any function etc.
