6 Month Preparation Schedule – The Ideal One!

Experts and previous year toppers have claimed that a candidate can start their preparations in full swing, 6 months before the exam commencement date. 6 months will be enough time to cover all the important topics of all the 4 Papers. If and only if, a candidate works diligently towards qualifying the CS Foundation level of exam.

• First 2 months – Know and study each of the topics. Start your preparations from the most difficult ones. So, that if you have any doubts you can get it clarified, way before the exam.
• 3rd & 4th month – Once you are done preparing, all the concepts from the reading material, focus on solving more and more sample papers. Meanwhile, you can consult some other reading materials, from the list provided below.
• Last 2 months – Start your revisions! Go through each of the topics from each of the 4 papers. Devote at least  2-3 hours, per day. If you are not confident enough about learning a new concept, at the last minute, then don’t do it! You would be rather prone to getting confused, than to grasping something new.

Tip No. 1- Familiarise Yourself With The Exam Pattern

It is not at all a wise option to start your preparation unless you know how to go about it. The candidate who has decided to appear for the exam must first of all check the prescribed syllabus and the exam pattern. There are 4 papers in the exam for Foundation Program. The paper comprises of questions from the following topics:- English and Business Communication, Economics and Statistics, Financial Accounting and Elements of Business Laws and Management. You get 100 questions without any negative marking. A candidate is declared to have passed the Foundation program if he/she secures a minimum of 40% marks in each paper and 50% marks in aggregate including all subjects.

Tip No. 2 – Coaching is not mandatory for Foundation Program

Since the foundation programme is something where you get questions already covered in 12th class. One who has a clear understanding of the syllabus from 12th class can easily crack the CS Foundation exam. It is not at all the hardest nut to crack. The executive level is something that may be an option for you because the level here is a little advanced. But for the foundation programme, you may skip the coaching option and rather focus on self-study and clearing your concept with hard work and dedication yourself.

Tip No. 3 – Stay focused

It is of utmost importance that the candidate stays focussed while preparing for the CS Foundation program examination. There is not much time left for the exam. Once you know what the syllabus is what kind of questions are asked, the candidates are advised to prepare a timetable as per the dates. Do not deviate from your schedule at any cost. Procrastination of work is the weakest link in the way of success.

Practice papers

Practicing 5 objective papers each day will get the best of you. Time yourself and try to cover at least this much. As many papers, you cover it will help you in:-

1. Knowing the pattern of the question paper
2. Assessing your speed
3. Which question to attempt 1st.
4. Which section takes more time to solve
5. Which section to study more
