you can do 6 slots of 2-2 hours each and can take breaks in between.

Even i am having my CA finals in coming November and what i feel is it can be increased upto 14 hours a day but increase gradually. Cause less than 90 days now so it has to be done.

Well, Here is what i have to say -

Don't make target for number of hours that you have to study like 12 or 14 hours. Make the target based on the content/portion you have to complete. Like if you want to complete Accounts portion in 1 weeks time then decide the chapters which you want to complete per day. Now try to complete specified portion per day, no matter how many hours it takes.

Again, its my opinion and experience, it may differ from others.

Thanks !

Well, Study 2 subjects per day. You should decide what subject you are good at and what subjects are comparatively more difficult for you and then make a combination (One easy subject and one difficult). Or You can make combination of (Theory Practical Subject)

Accounts + ISCA = 10 Days

AMA+Audit = 10 Days

Law+ SFM = 10 Days

DT + IDT = 12 Days

Buffer = 3 Days

Total 45 Days. You can complete the syllabus in 45 days.

While making the daily plan also you should make combination of 1 difficult/big chapter and other 1 easy chapter. This will help in time management.

I have been uplaoding videos on youtube which can be useful for CA students, You can refer those
