Hey disha, calm down and take a deep breath You're post is a disaster, but I can still manage to help. Exam 1 in Accounting tests your skills of the 'nuts and bolts' of accounting, that is, testing of ledgers; balance day adjustments, reports and especially accounting qualitative characteristics and principles. I'd suggest not only remembering the principles/qualitative characteristics (SACs aka GAAP) but doing plenty of theory questions and applying your knowledge to the question specifically, not mere regurgitation. For practicals, do questions worth easy marks (my advice, general journals which are only 2 lines = really easy 2 marks awarded, right then and there). Secondly, stress less, do plenty of exercises and gradually go through study guides (I recommend exambusters by Neville Box), attain a strong understanding of double entry and how to manipulate it in any situation and don't be afraid to use your fingers for depreciation calculations (some can get tricky). Lastly, do not be obessed with high marks I like did -- which I f*ked up, I originally wanted a 48 for this subject (ashtey would know )   but got a 37. DO NOT LET IT HAPPEN TO YOU. DO NOT STRESS IN THE EXAM. I guess it comes from experience, don't think of other people and how ace this and stuph, Just do it, relaxed as if you were going to a 30 but accurate and fast as if you were going to a get a 50.

I wish the best of luck to you and I hope you'll get 45+

(if you want any help PM me )

If you want a 40 you need literally straight A +. I averaged 90% including exams(statement of marks to prove it ) and got a 39.  work hard and consistently! Thats my advice.

Just do it, relaxed as if you were going to a 30 but accurate and fast as if you were going to a get a 50.

thats nicely said.

In the exam you really need to be switched on from the get go! As AppleXY said you need to be accurate and fast. Know how much time you are willing to spend on each mark, you dot want to get to the end of time and realise you still have 3 or 4 questions to go, then you will kiss any chanve of 40+ goodbye. I aimed for just under a minute a mark, but that doesnt leave much time (if any) to go over and make corrections. Go in with a plan and stick to it!
