Now if you are talking pparticularly about commerce then you can divide subjects into two part

(A) Numerical portion: First clear you concepts and after that practice as much as you can for Numerical.

(B) THEORY Portion: Make notes and clear your concept and revise them.

Try to understand instead of just mugging up lessons so that you can remember it for long time .
