Please dont even think of resigning.Even I had done the same but now struggling to get a suitable job.As far as exams are concerned that can be cleared even with job and few days of studies as u have appeared for so many times.Your age is also not much once u clear final u can expect to reap the benefits that CAs deserve.Good Luck

Manage your job and studies together, is an easy answer but only you know what is your exact position. If you are financially sound and think you can take that extra risk and clear the examination, then nothing like that, then you can resign. But, however if the dependence on you is heavy from your family, then you need to balance both attending work as well as devoting time for studies.

Since you are at a younger age , dont panic . Every fall in life is a symptom for a rise. As long as your family is with you, you may strive to acheive your goal. I dont agree with this 2 weeks leave preparation. Plan your time , daily 2 hrs of dedicated work will give you good results. Keep in mind that every employer respects only your qualification not your talent and experience.

wish you good luck

Since you are settled in personal and official life, develop love for learning, study in a leisurely fashion the entire CA course materials, referring to appropriate texts for total comprehension (study the entire bare acts after thoroughly grounding yourself in English grammar through Wren & Martin's text). Then, completely go through suggested answers, pray and write your exams. Only knowledge can shield you in life as well as in exam failures!!! Best wishes...

Try to attempt mock tests conducted by ICAI or any other institute. Don't just ignore with a reason

1. "I can't complete the syllabus by that time" - None of the CA finalist complete the entire syllabus even by the time of actual exam.

2. "To attempt the exam, I need to take leave and there might be a loss of pay" - It doesn't matter to loose a few bucks to set right career

There might be any other reason to skip. But wipe them out of your mind.

Mock tests will help to manage time and know the level at which you are at the subject.There would be known questions in the mock question paper but still assume that exam as a real one and attempt. If you get a chance to write at least 3 mock exams, you would get a confidence of how well you are going to attack in the real battle.

Also try to maintain a pocket notebook, note down the important points, formulas, etc., and revise at every leisure. This would help for ISCA, costing formulas, case studies in DT and IDT.

You need not resign from the job unless there is a financial support.

Hope this may give you a solution.

I think u have to forget your past and start a fresh with new pm and new sug answers boom from icai and put 2_3 hrs of daily preparation for 6 months. Also try to write the answers precisely. Get answer copy of previous attempt and identify your weakness area and focus on writing replica of sug.answr pattern.with your experience u are sure to clear the exam. All the best.
