How to Score 95+ Marks in Accountancy | CBSE Class 12 Board Preparation Guide
Your journey to scoring 95+ in Accountancy begins today — let’s achieve it together!
Introduction
Chahte ho ki Accountancy mein 95+ marks aaye? Good news — yeh subject bahut scoring hai, bas thoda smart plan chahiye.
Accountancy is one of the easiest subjects to score high in, if you follow the right method. It is not about luck. It is about clear concepts, daily practice, and neat presentation.
In this guide, you will learn 8 simple steps to score 95+ marks — explained in easy language, so you can start using them today.
1. Build Strong Concepts First
Don’t cram entries. Understand why an entry is passed — the logic behind it.
- Read NCERT first. Almost every board question comes from NCERT.
- Solve every example given in the textbook.
- Make a short “Concept Notebook” — write down formats, rules, and definitions in your own words.
- Give extra attention to adjustment entries. These decide your marks in long questions.
Chapters to focus on the most:
- Partnership Accounts (fundamentals, admission, retirement, death, dissolution)
- Company Accounts (Shares & Debentures)
- Ratio Analysis & Cash Flow Statement
Once your concepts are clear, even tough questions will feel easy.
2. Practice Daily — and Check Your Mistakes
Accountancy improves only with practice. The more you solve, the faster and more accurate you become.
Simple weekly routine:
- Solve 1 full 3-hour mock test every week.
- Right after the test, check your mistakes.
- Keep a small “Mistake Diary” — write down errors you repeat.
- After 2 days, try those same questions again.
This one habit alone can add 10–15 extra marks to your score.
3. Write Neat, Examiner-Friendly Answers
Many students know the right answer but still lose marks — because of messy presentation. Examiners check hundreds of copies, so a clean answer stands out.
For numerical questions:
- Draw all columns with a pencil and scale.
- Write proper headings, like “XYZ Ltd. Balance Sheet as on 31st March 2025.”
- Write Working Notes clearly and number them (W.N. 1, W.N. 2…).
- Underline the final total.
- Leave a small gap between each part of the question.
For theory questions:
- Write in points, not long paragraphs.
- Use bold sub-headings.
- Use the exact keywords from NCERT.
- Add one real-life example if you can.
Yaad rakho — neat handwriting aur clean presentation = extra marks. It shows the examiner that you really understand the topic.
4. Never Skip Working Notes
About 25–30% of your Accountancy marks come from working notes, even if you don’t realise it.
How to write them well:
- Label each one clearly (W.N. 1, W.N. 2…).
- Show every calculation step — don’t jump to the answer.
- Keep them neat and aligned.
Why they matter:
- Even if your final answer is wrong, you still get marks for correct working notes.
- They prove you understood the adjustments.
- They help you catch your own calculation mistakes.
5. Learn Every Format by Heart
In Accountancy, the format carries marks too. A correct answer in the wrong format can still lose marks.
Formats you must know cold:
- Revaluation Account
- Partner’s Capital Account
- Balance Sheet (as per Schedule III)
- Cash Flow Statement
- Profit & Loss Appropriation Account
- Journal & Ledger
- Share Application, Allotment, Forfeiture, and Reissue
Keep a separate “Format Notebook” and revise it every week.
6. Manage Your Time in the Exam Hall
Many students run out of time simply because they get stuck on one question.
Suggested time plan for the 3-hour paper:
| Section | Time |
|---|---|
| Reading Time | 15 min |
| Short Questions (1–3 marks) | 25–30 min |
| Medium Questions (4–6 marks) | 40–50 min |
| Long Questions (8–12 marks) | 60–70 min |
| Final Revision | Last 15–20 min |
Quick exam-hall tips:
- Start with the questions you find easiest.
- If a question is confusing, skip it and come back later.
- Use reading time to mark which questions you’ll attempt first.
- Keep the last 20 minutes only for checking your paper.
Good time management alone can boost your score by 8–10%.

7. Focus on High-Weightage Chapters First
Not all chapters carry equal marks. Study smart by prioritising the heavy ones.
High weightage:
- Partnership Accounts
- Company Accounts (Shares & Debentures)
- Cash Flow Statement
Moderate weightage:
- Financial Statements
- Ratio Analysis
Master the high-weightage chapters first, then move to the rest.
8. Use NCERT + Previous Year Papers the Right Way
Finish NCERT line by line — nothing skipped.
How to use PYQs (Previous Year Questions) effectively:
- Solve at least the last 10 years’ papers.
- Notice which adjustments repeat every year.
- Look for patterns in the type of questions asked.
- Attempt a few full papers under exam-like conditions.
CBSE repeats concepts more than you think — patterns don’t lie.
Your 3-Phase Revision Plan
Phase 1 — Concept Building (before December): Finish the syllabus, solve NCERT, make your notes.
Phase 2 — Practice Phase (January): Solve sample papers, attempt full mock tests, and revise the heavy chapters daily.
Phase 3 — Final Revision (last 15 days): No new topics. Only revision, mock tests, and going over formats and formulas.
7 Mistakes to Avoid
- Memorising entries without understanding the logic
- Writing theory answers in long paragraphs instead of points
- Skipping proper formats
- Ignoring working notes
- Spending too much time on one tough question
- Not revising the Cash Flow Statement
- Leaving the paper incomplete
Avoiding just these mistakes can add up to 15 marks to your score.
Final Word
Scoring 95+ in Accountancy is not about studying for 10 hours a day. It’s about studying smart — clear concepts, daily practice, and neat presentation.
Follow this plan with consistency, and your score will keep improving, month after month.
