Hey Deepti, you are probably worrying too much and thus doing unnecessary harm to yourself. Relax, Relax a bit and think for yourself, when u r solving the problems at home, what goes wrong at the mock tests ?? Its just that u become tense which is very unnecessary. Professional exams are not just about academic preparations, they also teach us how to handle touch situations in life and make the most of them.

Regarding preparations, now that the time left is less than 1 1/2 months, u can plan for single group, IF AT ALL u are not confident. Its always wise to achieve something than aim too much and get nothing. For accounts, mafa and costing, u have taken tuitions. Trust your tutor and do not go for any other ref book at this point of time. In case of MICS, "Padhuka Prakashan" is a good book.

In case u feel u r short of time...........never mind. Dont be out of yourself.............be calm & composed. Just go for last 5 years suggested answers. This will help u track the exact trend and also cover much of the IMPORTANT part of syllabus.

BUT most of all............stay calm.............Relax and believe in yourself. Appear in the Exam without the fear of FAILURE. BEST OF LUCK.

Hi deepti, i read ur post at my forum msg also i.e. "Re:Discuss: CA Final June 09 ur expectation revision strategies". I am also giving my ca final attempt in this june. Let me tell u that, the problem u r facing is with everyone. Even if we do study from beginning and from true heart but when exam comes near we find that we have done nothing and all the syllabus has remained as it is. even, I am also facing the same problem. But i think, we should not loose our confidence. I am alos attended classes from pune in zaware and agarwal. I personally suggest u do continue ur studies as u have done in past. the mistake we make is that we go on continuously changing our study strategies, and at the end we find nothing in our hand. DO NOT EVEN THINK OF SINGLE GROUP, U CAN CLEAR BOTH GROUPS. Just follow this: 1) study day and night, sleep only between 2 am to 4 am. (i am also doing that) 2) start from 1st paper and go subject wise 3)Do not go only for important topics, just do complete syllabus otherwise u will not get confidence. majority students fail who do only selected topics. 4) Do hard work as hard u can do. 5) Time is too samll we have to do studies very hard. 6) I know completing syllabus in 40 days is not possible but do it fastly do not gest struck in a single problem like mafa just complete fuill chapter and then u will understand everything. I am also having the same problem with mafa earlier. Hoping that this will help u. BUT DO STUDIES. DO NOT GET CONFUSED. THIS HAPPENS TO ALMOST EVERY STUDENT, BUT SAY CALM, DO WELL AND TAKE CARE.

HI Deep,ti I have cleared my CA Final last Nov 08. During the preparation I was feeling the same problem. What I learnt from my experience that you must not read so many books I can create a lot of confusion for you. Have confidence and Pls do suggested answer of the institute.

You must know how to tackle question in exam. and do practice of Practical question.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot karan and lovenish. i completely agree that one should not chanhe strategies and look for diff books. but problem is somethg are given very nicely in one book and somethgs are given properly in another book. so what does one do.

i should have made notes from beginning only. my mistake cos of which i am suffering.

karan i must say honestly that u will pass in ca final but not me cos i cant stay awake thats my problem. my eyes refuse to stay open . i get up at 5 and sleep by 10.!!!!!!! how do i do it?

one thinks that this time one has lot of time in hand so one can study and atleast get a rank. all down the drain!!!!

i still have lot of practical stuff to be done and then again way of presenting answers is also important.....2 many thgs to be done....

JUST READ THE THEORY FROM INSTITUTE MATERIALS AND ANALYSE THE MAXIMUM TYPES OF PROBLEMS THAT CAN BE GIVEN FROM EACH CHAPTER AND GET THE TECHNIQUES THOROUGH THEN WHEN YOU SEE PROBLEM YOU CAN ANALYSE WHICH CHAPTER IT HAS COME AND WHAT TO DO

Dont loose the battle before it is even fought. Never concede. Never talk like a loser. Time or No time (for preparation), course completed or not, Revision done or not, papers easy or tough............no matter what happens..............we will PASS. Again and again I say..........just calm down and have a steady head. Dont waste your brain thinking all this..........instead use it for preparations.

hi karan. ihavent yet got any msg from vk agarwal classes regarding the mock tests. but one should give them. but one shouldnt get disappointed or sad if one doesnt do well in them.

this is cos

(a) these tests are their to test our mental condition.how would we behave if we were in exam.are we nervous or we will be able tackle the questions.

(b) we would come to know where we are lacking,in concepts,time management ( most important ),or we are nervous and we need to overcome that.

i did appear for mock tests conducted by EDUEX delhi.I didnt go there. they had sent me the papers via courier and i solved them in ca library.after appearing for some of the papers of the 1st grp i came to know problems which i could solve in home i was not able to solve in exam.

i was tensed.and that2 2nd grp i havent appeared for the papers for lack of preparation.

that is why i wote on caclub as to what i should do?

c any mock tests is there to help . it doesnt cause any harm to any1.i honeslty feel that one should appear or mock tests cos atleast b4 the exams what mindset are vin we will come to know.SO THAT WHEN WE ARE ACTUALLY GIVING XAMS WE WOULD ATLEAST BE IN A BETTER POSITION COS WE TRAINED OURSELVES TO APPEAR FOR MOCK TESTS.

Sometimes even easy problems also one is not able to solve.that shouldnt happen.so mock test helps.

but i have seen most students saying no i am not going to give mock tests .they demoralise u.and all.so if u feel so then dont give.

i am in kolkata so iwont be able to give vk agarwal's sirs mock tests.
