Hi Everyone I need a suggestion regarding preparation for CA Final, I join My Article in April 2014 and Half way to complete my Articles do I need to go for CA Final Classes now (August 2015) or wait for some more time as my attempt is in Nov-2016 with a New syllabus
On technical grounds this is the right time for you to join CA final coaching. But on the other hand announcement regarding change in syllabus for 2016 attempt is a big problem for students like you. So as per my final suggestion wait for some more time and in January 2016 take a call. I am very hopeful that till than things will be more clear.
Till than I would suggest you to start preparing (Self-study) for subjects like Audit, Law and ISCA. Keep a watch on ICAI announcements.
I would strongly suggest you all to stick to the basics of study to avoid further failure and ensure success. There is no need to make drastic changes in your preparation method. In CS and CA exams scanner, practice manual, revision test papers along with Institute study material plays an important role so take reference and plan your study accordingly. For me some basics of study are as follows:
1. Timely completion of course material—Very first basic thing is to finish your course to have better idea of course structure. This will also help you to prepare a good revision schedule along with study plan.
2. Timely revision-- Another basic study point is to give ample emphasis to a good revision plan. There is nothing is this world which can substitute a good revision plan. To succeed revision is must.
3. Ample amount of practice of Numerical [account and cost] questions-- One major reason of student failure is bad performance in practical questions. So ample amount of practice of Numerical [account and cost] questions is must along with perfect conceptual clarity.
4. Right amount of theory preparation in practical subjects—Most of the students don’t give due value to the theory in the practical subject. So right amount of theory preparation in practical subjects is equally important. The best way to solve this issue is to prepare notes of frequently asked theory questions from Scanner.
5. Selection of right books—Another basic point for good preparation is the selection of right reference books. So take help from your seniors in choosing right books.
6. Good presentation of theory— Lack of good presentation especially in theory paper is one of the major drawbacks for most of the students. In theory subjects good presentation of theory is must along with mentioning case laws and sections etc. So I’d request you all to take note of the same.
