Hi Sanket,I appreciate your ambition to crack the exam in 1st attempt. I would like to share my experience with you in some points as below:
1)Use Institute publications to study-mainly Compilations,suggested etc. which covers past year exam questions and answers 2)Use additional 1 book with you are comfotable to study-like author's language, font used etc. 3)Keep minimum study material for referenace and keep full faith on the books you are using 4)Ensure 3 to 4 times reading of whole syllabus before you appear to exam(this may sound challenging but very much required) 5)Mark the portion for revision at intial readings and keep smaller no of pages for revision 6)Take at least 1 test for each paper with good test series, so you will be able to minimize mistakes in Isntitute exams 7)About time- you are best person to decide how much hours you have to study to complete the said targets.
