Prepare for the Written Test
The ICSI written test blends commerce fundamentals (Basic Accounting) with the standard aptitude sections — reasoning, quantitative aptitude, English and general awareness. Since you likely already have the accounting base from your commerce degree, focus revision time on aptitude speed.
