A beginner-level expert shares highly practical test preparation tips; the third point is something 80% of test takers can't do.

 　　Shenyang Jieli Accounting Training School, September 11, 2018:

　　The 2019 primary accounting exam documents are about to be released, so please prepare in advance. There will be more and more reforms in the future, so finishing the exam early will eliminate any worries.

　　Today, we bring you the exam preparation experience of 8 top performers who passed the primary accounting exam in a short time, hoping to help you with your preparation.

　　1.

　　Focus on studying the textbook, supplemented by practice questions!

　　@Netizen 1:

　　First round of review: Focus on studying the textbook (15 days). Second round of review: Focus on practice questions (5 days). Third round of review: Focus on memorizing easily confused knowledge points and incorrect questions (5 days). Final sprint: Focus on practicing with past exam questions (5 days).

　　@Netizen 2:

　　Primary Accounting Practice: Concepts and formulas are very important

　　. Economic Law Basics: Knowledge memorization is very important; maintain a positive mindset for exam preparation.

　　@Netizen 3:

　　First stage: Comprehensive review, establish a knowledge system, accurately understand knowledge points, supplemented by necessary practice.

　　1. Master the content system of each section, the key and difficult points, and the exam points of each part; be able to do the textbook exercises. The textbook can be studied together with the explanations of the key and difficult points in each chapter.

　　2. Practice problems. Doing problems helps test and deepen learning. Do the exercises for the chapter you've learned. Avoid looking at the answers while doing the problems; do them first, then check the answers and analyze the reasons for mistakes—whether it's a fundamental lack of understanding or unclear memory. You must do the problems; don't just think about the answers in your head.

　　Second Stage: Review important exam points and practice

　　with past exam questions. 1. Summarize and review the key content again.

　　2. Practice with past exam questions related to the chapter. What are the frequently tested points, and how are they tested? You'll know what you need to know, and you won't know what you don't. Avoid looking at the answers while doing the problems or only looking at the answers without doing the problems; this will create a false sense of understanding. You must solve the problems completely yourself.

　　Third Stage: Return to the textbook, organize key points and exam points, and accurately memorize them

　　Alternating study is beneficial for memory and improves exam preparation efficiency .

　　@Netizen 4:

　　When I was reviewing, I started with two books simultaneously. This prevented us from getting bored of staring at the same book for a long time. Alternating study is beneficial for memory and avoids the situation where studying becomes increasingly boring. Moreover, it's essential to combine this with practice problems for even better results.

　　@Netizen 5:

　　I. Comprehensive Planning

　　Before preparing for the Junior Accountant Certification Exam, you first need to fully understand the exam schedule and content, from registration to certificate issuance. Develop a detailed and comprehensive study plan, making reasonable use of all available resources.

　　II. Advance Study

　　The Junior Accountant Certification will be an entry-level certificate, but the exam content is not. Therefore, reviewing the introductory theoretical knowledge of the Junior Accountant Certification, highlighting key points and difficulties according to the syllabus, will improve study efficiency.

　　III. Learning Techniques:

　　Be good at summarizing and comparing, and learn to integrate knowledge. First, understand and memorize; second, memorize systematically; third, compare and analyze.

　　Overall Planning and Developing a Reasonable Study Plan .

　　@Netizen 6:

　　I. Overall Planning and Developing a Study Plan.

　　Before starting preparation for the 2019 Junior Accountant Certification Exam, you should have an overall direction. This requires understanding the exam subjects and arranging your study schedule according to your own situation.

　　1) For college students, exposure to accounting examples is relatively limited. Of the two exam subjects—Elementary Accounting Practice and Basic Economic Law—Elementary Accounting Practice is relatively more difficult. Therefore, during the review process, more attention should be paid to this subject, and more time should be allocated to Elementary Accounting Practice.

　　2) To do a good job, one must first sharpen one's tools. A study plan should be developed before the exam. College students have relatively ample review time, but it's easy to procrastinate and become lazy. Everyone must develop a reasonable review plan based on their own situation to avoid failing to complete the plan due to insufficient focus, extracurricular activities, part-time jobs, etc.

　　II. Choose a suitable learning method based on your own foundation.

　　Although all are college students, some candidates are accounting majors, while others are not. Having an accounting foundation is also important for preparing for the Elementary Accounting Professional Title Exam.

　　4.

　　Utilize effective time for review .

　　@Netizen 7:

　　First, we should clarify that study time is not the same as effective review time.

　　Take studying any chapter of any subject as an example. Once you open a book, focusing on learning concepts, understanding formulas, and organizing logic is considered effective review. This means that periods of distraction—when your eyes are glued to the book but your mind wanders elsewhere, or periods of fatigue when you have difficulty absorbing knowledge and your attention is scattered—cannot be counted as effective review time. Therefore, for the same chapter, some people can concentrate for half an hour and finish it, while others drag it out for half a day.

　　Take a day in the library as another example. Both leave home at 7 am and return at 10 pm, but some people arrive early and start catching up on sleep, scrolling through their phones or reading before even completing a small goal; others have made a to-do list and set deadlines for each item. They may also use their phones or flip through magazines, but only while ensuring they complete their review tasks.

　　For the entry-level professional title exam, based on the general advice of past candidates, effective preparation time should be around 300 hours.

　　Overall, the effective review time is estimated at approximately 350 hours. The practical subject takes the most time, about 200 hours, while economic law takes less time, about 150 hours.

　　The study time for both subjects can be divided into three parts: reading, doing practice questions, and memorizing. For the practical exam, the focus is on reading and doing practice questions, with an overall time commitment of approximately 90 hours, 60 hours, and 50 hours respectively. For economic law, the focus is on

　　memorization, with an overall time commitment of approximately 40 hours, 40 hours, and 70 hours respectively. This time allocation is closely related to the learning method. When studying "Elementary Accounting Practice," I used framework notes to connect the entire preparation process. The initial note-taking and later deliberate practice of framework recall took a lot of time, but the effect was directly reflected in the practice questions and past exam papers. When memorizing "Basic Economic Law," I used associative memory techniques to build the entire knowledge system, which took a lot of time, but the memory effect and the accuracy of later problem-solving were also guaranteed.

　　@Netizen 8:

　　I registered three times in total. The first time was a paper-based exam, the second time I didn't even go to the exam hall, and I finally passed last year.
