Micro Economics

Nature and Importance of this Subject:

a) This is a scoring subject for students coming from Commerce background. If MPC (Science) students pay some attention to this subject, then they can also score good marks in this subject.

b) In majority cases, MPC students are performing well when compared to MEC/CEC students because of over confidence and negligence of MEC/CEC students.

c) On the basis of previous examination trends, you may get around 25 MCQs from Micro Economics. Out of them nearly 20 MCQs will be very easy and direct questions.

e) If you are thorough with this syllabus then you can comfortably attempt your B.Com 1st year also. The same preparation will be useful for CMA Foundation also.

  • Calculation mistakes while solving MCQs on Problems or applying wrong formula.
  • Calculator practice.
  • Do complex calculations atleast twice before answering.
  • EVERYDAY spend 15 minutes of time to memorise formulae in various chapters of micro economics, given in our fast track material.

How to Prepare this Subject in this Last Few Days ?

Be Careful with the MCQ’s of Following Types :

  • “WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS CORRECT / INCORRECT?”
  • TRUE OR FALSE STATEMENTS
  • MCQs based on case studies & Practical Questions

Macro Economics

Nature and Importance of this Subject :

a) This is a scoring subject for students coming from Commerce background. If MPC students pay some attention on this subject then they can also score good marks in this subject.

b) In majority cases, MPC students are performing well when compared to MEC/CEC students because of over confidence and negligence of MEC/CEC students.

c) Weightate of MCQ’s Based on Facts and Figures :

June attempt – 49%, December attempt – 45%

Of course in the recent attempts questions based on facts and figures have decreased a lot which is advantage to all students. We can’t assure the same in future. So, don’t neglect. (June 2013 attempt – just 4, Dec 2013 attempt – just 3 questions based on facts & figures)

d) In the public exam you must finish answering MCQs of this subject very quickly so that you can find some time to answer MCQs in QA because you will get lengthy MCQs in QA subject.

e) Concentrate more on chapters – 2, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10 with special focus on 4, 6, 7 & 9 chapters.

f) If you are thorough with this syllabus then you can comfortably attempt your B.Com 1st year also. The same preparation will be useful for CMA Foundation also.

g) We need to focus on all the chapters – You can’t find some few chapters having huge weightage in the exam. Even from the most important chapter we will get only 1 to 2 marks.

h) In majority questions right answer will be directly there in the options itself and we need not do any calculations. But all the options will look to be similar and as a result we will get confused. Have complete command on Facts & Figures in Macro Economics and you can easily come out of this confusion.

On the other hand read all the options carefully and use common sense for identifying the right answer.

i) First identify the MCQ i.e., whether it is given from Micro Economics or Macro Economics

  • If the MCQ is from MICRO Economics then remind theory to answer,
  • If the MCQ is from MACRO Economics then remind facts & figures or common sense to answer the same, based on Indian Economy.

How to Prepare this Subject in this Last Few Days ?

a) Sufficient to prepare the content given under this heading ‘THEORY FOR CLASSROOM DISCUSSION’ in our material. At this moment of time it is not required to refer the content given under the heading THEORY FOR SELF STUDY.

b) In every chapter, Facts and figures are very important. Pay special attention on that area. EVERYDAY spend 30 minutes of time to memorise the numerical data given in FAST TRACK NOTES, irrespective of syllabus for each examination.

c) Out of 50 questions nearly 48 questions can be handled by all the students as they will come from our material itself. But the remaining 2 questions can be either very tough or from current affairs or even out of syllabus. Those 2 questions will be rank deciding questions. For answering those 2 questions you have to be through with nook and corners of Macro Economics i.e. Facts & figures + Current affairs material + Latest Economics Survey Report.

d) Concentrate more on 2011 census, most recent data of 2012, 2013, 2014, etc.

e) Chapters to be concentrated more:

  • Micro – Chapters 7 & 9
  • Macro – Chapter 6 & 7 (especially Monetary policy)

You may get around 23 to 25 marks from these 4 chapter alone.
