TIPS ON HOW TO STUDY ACCOUNTING EFFECTIVELY
HOW TO STUDY ACCOUNTING
A. READING A TEXTBOOK
- STUDYING ACCOUNTING IS NOT LIKE READING A NOVEL OR EVEN LIKE STUDYING HISTORY, SOCIOLOGY OR ECONOMICS.
- READ TO UNDERSTAND “WHY”
- WORK PROBLEMS TO UNDERSTAND “HOW”
- REMEMBER “WHY” AND “HOW”
- IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND, PREPARE A SPECIFIC QUESTION TO ASK YOUR INTRUCTOR.
B. WORKING HOMEWORK PROBLEMS
- READ THE PROBLEM.
- WORK THE PROBLEMS WITHOUT “PAGE FLIPPING” BACK TO THE CHAPTER.
- KEEP UP WITH THE CLASS.
- NOTE THE PROBLEM WITH WHICH YOU HAVE DIFFICULTY AND ASK QUESTIONS DURING DISCUSSION.
C. PREPARING FOR THE EXAMS
- BE SPECIFIC IN YOUR STUDY; CONCENTRATE ON THE THINGS WHICH SEEM IMPORTANT
- DO NOT STOP WITH JUST “GETTING THE IDEA”
- EVERY EXAM HAS AN ELEMENT OF SPEED.
- WHEN TAKING EXAM, MANY POINTS ARE LOST AND QUESTONS MISSED BECAUSE THE STUDENTS DO NOT “READ THE PROBLEM”.
- QUICKLY LOOK THROUGH THE ENTIRE EXAM AND ANSWER ALL OF THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE EASY FOR YOU.
