Moreover, this is a very time consuming paper and most students struggle with time management during CBSE Boards Accountancy paper. So, be very careful in the exam hall regarding how much time you are giving to each question or each section.
India Today Education got talking to Hariyana Vidya Mandir (Kolkata) Accountancy teacher Pradeep Mukherjee, a Board Examiner of Accountancy for 20 years, with 28 years of teaching experience, about certain important tips students should keep in mind to score above 90 in their class 12 CBSE Accountancy paper.

Here are tips he provided which can help make sure you are giving the best shot in your Accountancy Board exam:

In CBSE Class 12 Accountancy Board exam, the accounts paper is generally a little lengthy. Therefore, students should read the paper thoroughly and put a tick mark against the questions which comes easily to them. Attempt the easy questions first.
 
There are altogether eight 1-mark questions. It is usually seen that students give much time to answering these 1-mark questions. These questions should be answered in one word or one sentence or in short workings, so that they shouldn't take more than one minute each.
 
Showing the workings is not necessary for all problem sums. Workings should be necessary for complicated problems only because marks are allotted to workings in the complicated and longer numerical problems.
 
Proper format is necessary for journal and ledger questions while proper narration is also important for each journal entry. As much as 25 per cent of the marks in the question can be deducted if proper format and narration is not provided.
 
Students need to practice sample papers in time bound conditions so that they don't face time management issues in the exam hall. Each 1-mark question should be given one minute, each 3 or 4-mark question should be given 3-8 minutes, each 6-mark question should be given 15 minutes, each 8-mark question should be given 15-20 minutes.

The following topics of CBSE Class 12 Accountancy are excluded from the syllabus and students shouldn't give importance to these:
