CA Final exams of May 2016 are coming closer. We have sufficient time for exam preparation. ICAI have already declared CA Final results. Last attempt (NOV 2015) ICAI declared very low pass percentage that means we have to do more hard work. Our preparation should be started from 1st Feb 2016. Here we have almost 3 months for preparation. If you follow given study plan, I am damn sure that you can get 60 + marks in each and every paper.
Suggested study plan for CA Final May 2015:
Here I’m giving study plan for 3 months. We can definitely complete our preparation in 3 months very easily. In these 3 months preparation, you have to do 3 times of revision for CA Final exams. Below I have given the study plan for CA Final exams preparation.
Preparing For Examinations:
1. A student is required to prepare thoroughly for examinations well in advance and to devote at least two hours daily for studies while undergoing Article Training.
2. During leave period, at least 14 to 16 hours’ hard work is required.
3. Avoid mobiles, internet and television as far as possible.
4. Students must study from study material and do practice from practice manual. Wherever a particular topic or point is not clear, a student may refer to a standard text/reference book.
5. Students should refer suggested answers of questions set of last five/six examinations and Revision Test Papers. It is strongly recommended to solve the questions first without referring to solutions and then comparing the answers with the solutions given. Such an approach would help in knowing point of mistake and presentation pattern of an answer.
6. In law papers, Section and its provision is to be given correctly. If a student is not sure about the Section number, then he should not quote the same.
How to utilize time during leave period:
Get up early in the morning at 4 AM. Be ready by 5 AM. This period (4.00 AM to 6.00 AM) is called ‘Brahma Murat ’ and studies done during this period cannot be forgotten i.e. they remain in memory for long.
