Hii. I have applied for IPCC recently and would like to begin studying for it without any external coaching but self study. I would like you to give me a study plan or some tips as to how to begin and move on with my study. Do I have to complete a subject before going to the next subject or study all the four subjects simultaneously (I am right now preparing only for group 1)? Please do suggest me on this matter for I don't know how to proceed with IPCC unlike CPT. Thanks in advance..

Each one of us have an unique plan to study and it is up to you, as to how much comfortable you are. Usually, you must have a mix of studying two papers in a day, especially when you are attempting only one group. Choose one practical and another theory paper during the course of your preparation. Have your own short hand written notes, which will be useful during the course of your revision.
Have the latest reference material just before starting your studies. Draw up a workable time table which will facilitate you in completing the portions in time and drive you to revise it before examination. Give importance to time management during the course of your studies as well in the examination hall. If possible you must attend mock test to assess your level of preparation just before your main examination.
The key differentiator in the exam would be your approach and presentation of the answers, which would prompt the examiner to award you good marks. Wish you all the very best for the forthcoming examination.
