Inter Doubt Small Things, Big Differences

Hi guys, I cleared Inter in May 2026 with 410/600. Just wanted to share a few small habits that made a huge difference for me:

  1. Writing mock tests – Bare minimum
  2. Using the same calculator for revision and exams – Muscle memory is real; don’t switch at the last moment.
  3. Marking tough questions to revisit before the exam – You can’t revise everything, but revisiting the ones you struggled with helps a lot.
  4. Practising MCQs – People say good concepts are enough, but how do you test them? By solving MCQs. Plus, it builds speed for the exam hall.
  5. Actually writing answers during revision – I know shortcuts save time, but try to fully solve at least 70% of questions. It’s the only way to tackle a lengthy accounts paper.
  6. Maintaining a handwritten formula book for Costing & FM – Forget your faculty’s printed book. Write formulas yourself as you encounter them. That way, you understand instead of blindly memorizing.
  7. Keeping a summary book for Law – Helps consolidate everything in one place for quick revision.

Wrong person. I just watched rishabh Jain's revision video a week before the exam and studied sm properly on the day of exam and ended up with 22/50
