Accountancy student seeking help, haha!
Hi everyone, good evening! I’m currently a sophomore studying BSA and I have an exam tomorrow. To be honest, I’m feeling pretty anxious. We’re going to be tested on a subject that focuses heavily on computations (Intac3), and I really struggle with these. Whenever I try to work on them, I often feel lost and can’t seem to apply the concepts I understand to the actual computations. Lately, I’ve been getting low scores on quizzes, and most of my answers have been incorrect, which has led to a lot of self-doubt. I can’t help but wonder if I’m cut out for this course, haha.
I’d really appreciate any effective tips you might have to help me improve my computation skills. Thank you so much, and I hope you all have a great night!

Hi! I totally understand how you’re feeling. It’s completely normal to feel anxious, especially with a tough subject like computation in Accounting. Here are some tips that might help you improve your skills and boost your confidence:
Practice, Practice, Practice: The more problems you solve, the better you’ll get. Try to find additional exercises online or in your textbooks.
Start with the Basics: Make sure you’re clear on the foundational concepts before tackling more complex problems. Sometimes, difficulties in computation stem from not fully understanding the basics.
Study with Classmates: Sometimes explaining concepts to each other can help solidify your understanding. Group study can also provide different perspectives on how to approach problems.
Use Online Resources: There are many great online platforms that offer tutorials and problem sets for Accounting topics. Websites like Khan Academy, YouTube, or even specific Accounting channels can be really helpful.
Don’t Skip Steps: When you’re solving problems, make sure you’re not skipping any steps. Write down everything, so you can see where you might be going wrong.
Ask for Help: Don’t hesitate to reach out to your professors or teaching assistants. They can provide clarification and may offer additional resources or tips tailored to your course.
Stay Positive: Remember that everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Instead, recognize your progress, no matter how small.
Lastly, take care of yourself tonight—get a good night’s sleep, and don’t cram too much right before the exam. You’ve got this! Good luck on your test! 😊
