Kerala Plus Two Accountancy with AFS (DHSE) · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Admit card / hall ticket
Carry the original admit card issued by your school/DHSE. Keep one photocopy in a separate pocket. Confirm with your school whether a photocopy is accepted at the centre.
School photo ID
Bring your school identity card or another photo ID accepted by the centre. Confirm the exact accepted ID list with your school before the exam.
Practical record book / observation book
Carry your completed and teacher-signed practical record if your syllabus requires it. Confirm the required format, number of pages, and signing procedure with your teacher. needs_review
Project / report file (if applicable)
If your course requires a project or report file for the practical, bring the bound copy exactly as instructed. Confirm with the provider whether a soft copy or additional declaration is needed. needs_review
Blue/black pens, pencil, eraser, sharpener, scale
Bring at least two working pens, a spare pencil, eraser, sharpener, and a 15 cm scale. Use blue or black ink unless the instructions say otherwise.
Non-programmable calculator
Bring a simple non-programmable calculator if your centre permits one. Confirm the permitted model and whether calculators are allowed at all with your school. needs_review
Transparent pouch or bag
Keep stationery and documents in a clear pouch or bag so checking at the gate is quick. Avoid opaque pencil boxes if the centre restricts them.
Water bottle and light snack
Carry a transparent water bottle and a small snack for after the exam. Confirm whether food items are allowed inside the exam hall.
Wristwatch (non-smart)
A simple analog or non-smart digital watch helps you pace the practical tasks. Smartwatches and phones are not allowed.
Uniform / dress code
Wear the dress code prescribed by your school or centre. Confirm the dress code with your school if you are unsure. needs_review
Reporting time and centre location
Check the reporting time, exam duration, and exact centre location at least a day earlier. Plan transport to arrive 30–45 minutes before reporting time.
Completed revisions and formula sheet
Carry only permitted handwritten notes or formula sheets if your centre allows them. Confirm with the provider whether any reference material is allowed. needs_review
Plan the day
Check that your practical record book, project file, and any required declarations are complete and signed. Practise the core practical tasks - preparing statements, classifying items, and showing workings clearly - using your own practice sums. Make a packing list and buy any missing stationery. Confirm your centre, reporting time, and exam duration.
Pack your admit card, ID, record book, stationery, calculator, and water bottle in one bag. Review formulas and formats rather than starting new topics. Confirm transport and, if needed, your guardian's contact details. Sleep on time; avoid late-night cramming.
Eat a normal breakfast and carry water. Reach the centre 30–45 minutes early. Keep only permitted items with you; leave phones and smartwatches outside the hall. Listen carefully to seating and ID-check instructions.
Read all instructions and the full question before starting. Note the marks or time suggested for each task. Show workings and label statements, accounts, and calculations clearly. Do rough work in the space provided, check arithmetic and balancing, and submit only after verifying your roll number and page numbers.
Rules to check
Carry only permitted items. Mobile phones, smartwatches, and unauthorised electronic devices must be switched off and kept outside the exam hall; possession may be treated as malpractice.
Bring your admit card and photo ID. The invigilator may verify your identity before you enter or during the exam; keep both on your desk if instructed.
Do not borrow stationery, calculators, or record books from other candidates after the exam starts. Carry your own spares.
Follow the invigilator's instructions on seating, rough work, breaks, and submission. Ask clarifying questions only through the invigilator.
If you need to leave the hall temporarily, raise your hand and wait for permission. Do not leave without the invigilator's knowledge.
Marks are generally awarded for accuracy, clear presentation, correct workings, and completion of required records or reports. Confirm the exact weighting and marking scheme with your school or the provider. needs_review
Any malpractice - copying, unauthorised material, or communication with other candidates - can lead to disqualification or loss of marks. Confirm the specific penalty provisions with the provider. needs_review
