Summarise the key J&K financial rules on drawal of money, custody of cash, and responsibility for losses, in your own notes.

List the service rules on probation, confirmation, seniority, promotion and disciplinary procedure and match each to a practical scenario.

Explain the treasury system in J&K, including the role of treasuries and sub-treasuries and how vouchers are passed and retained.

Describe voucher types, supporting documents and the check-list an assistant applies before passing a voucher for payment.

Draft a model contingent bill with all enclosures and a pay bill with deductions for GPF and insurance.

Perform in a spreadsheet: sorting, filtering, VLOOKUP, SUMIF, IF and pivot tables on a 200-row mock ledger, and save the workbook with formulas intact.

Build a spreadsheet that automatically totals a voucher register and flags entries exceeding a sanction limit using conditional formatting.

Create a mail-merge letter and a formatted table with headers, footers and page numbering in a word processor.

Solve 30 percentage, ratio and average problems under timed conditions and record your accuracy.

Solve 20 problems on simple and compound interest and 20 on profit and loss, writing the formula used for each before calculating.

Complete 40 reasoning items on series, coding-decoding and analogies, and write the rule you used for each wrong answer.

Solve 30 seating arrangement and blood relation puzzles with diagrams rather than guesswork.

Compute time, speed, distance, work and time-and-work problems using unitary method and check each answer by substitution.

Explain e-governance basics: digital signatures, e-payment, treasury online systems and the purpose of a management information system in government accounting.

Identify the main MS Office shortcuts and file-format facts you are still unsure of and drill only those.

List J&K geography facts: districts, rivers, passes, lakes and protected areas, with one identifying detail for each.

Note current affairs of the past six months from a newspaper index, focusing on economy, finance and J&K administration.

Revise grammar rules for tense, subject-verb agreement, articles and prepositions and correct 40 erroneous sentences.

Practise 20 error-spotting, 20 fill-in-the-blank and 10 synonym-antonym items, and record recurring mistakes.

Re-solve one full final-accounts problem and one bank reconciliation from scratch without notes, timing each.

Recite the bill, voucher, GPF and audit sequences aloud from memory and check against your week 3 and 4 notes.

Answer 60 mixed questions across the four heavy domains and review every wrong answer to its source rule.

Take two full-length mock tests under exam timing and analyse section-wise accuracy.

Compile a one-page revision sheet of formulas, rule names and sequences to review on exam day.
