Whenever new amendments and developments are there in the economy/tax laws, then these are the most important areas which are generally covered in professional exams.
.
In addition to focus only on books whatever latest it is, you are required to refer newpapers, professional magazines and articles covered in professional seminars.

Now-a-days; regular developments are there in case laws/controversial issues hence you have to refer some sites also regularly.
.
The important sites are caclub, taxguru, vakilno.1 etc.
.
Please develop your interest in the profession than focusing only on passing.
.
Associate/make contacts with some of the leading practioner CAs and look at their devotion towards the profession.
.
Focus more on communication skills also because if you have knowledge but not able to express it; then it is of no use for clients.
.
In profession; not only you should have knowledge but you should also be in a position to influence your clients which is possible only when you have command over communication skills.
.
In depth knowledge will give you a vision for tax planning etc. which is an important requirement of a profession.

This is for your kind information that any amendment prior to 6 (Six) months of your examination shall only be asked in the Chartered Accountancy Examination . As you are appearing in May 2013 then all amendments applicable on and from 1.11.2012 shall not be asked in the C.A. examination. Hence, you can overlook the same.
In case you have time enough then for your knowledge you can go through the same and not for examination purpose.
