Fixed v Growth Mindset for Accounting Exam Success

Why is mindset important in developing positive habits, especially regarding Accounting Exams? Your fixed beliefs about you will hold you back from making positive change. If you have a trait that you believe cannot be changed, such as your intelligence, or your bad habits, you will avoid situations that could possibly be uncomfortable or that you think that are useless. Such as your success in Accounting Exams. In a fixed mindset, people believe their qualities are fixed traits and therefore cannot change. These people document their intelligence and talents rather than working to develop and improve them. They also believe that talent alone leads to success, and effort is not required. Alternatively, in a growth mindset, people have an underlying belief that their learning and intelligence can grow with time and experience. When people believe they can get smarter, they realize that their effort has an effect on their success, so they put in extra time, leading to higher achievement.
