Results will be declared on 17th July 2012 & appx 14% +/- 1%

@ suvajit: thanku....but practice manual n RTPs are sufficient???

@ kavya ... yes practice manual and rtp both are much .... this is my personal experience ... 

@ rahul : as in how much marks can one expect...i mean i knw thats a very unanswerable question..but since u r sayin its yr personal experience... m askin u ........
as in is it for JUST PASS or can fetch good marks?

FM & COSTING TRICKY & BALANCE WERE GOOD

are marks awarded for logical steps????

i could manage to c the solutions of accounts and fm

as per them i have accuratlly only abt 35 marks rest is ether partly correct or grosslly incorrect

(thouth the solutions i thik are partlly inccorect the selfs.............for eg what is the logic of taking 47 as the target % and what the qution 1 c wronglly done in fm in that solutions.......will they b giving only 30 marks or stps will be rewarded)

plese clarify???

ISCA is very difficult to remember......and marks are awarded to authentic answers only...

for example ....if u answer 60 marks correctly only then u can expect 40-45 out of that 60..and if u try  to write general

answers u will end up with 7-8 marks from the remaining 40.....

so for quality answers u have to study limited things for unlimited times....

believe me no one can remember the whole module at the exam hall...

do some R&D prepare a strategy ....then study according to the strategy......

as i said earlier 80%-90% marks would come from rtp & practice manual....

@ suvajit: thank you :) will check it up

@ kavya - I agree with suvajit. there is one book (i am not remembering the author) which has memory techniques with the points for easy to remember. all correct points carry marks in ISCA. General Answer doesn't pay off. some students got more than 80 marks in ISCA in Nov 2011 attempt. if you can "Learn" and "Reproduce" the exact points for that answer, the chances are more to get good marks.

HI......kavya .....i am seggesting you two books...

1) MANISH VALECCHA ( memory code, answers of module are given in summarised form....)

2) compilor by CA mukesh saraf (summarised answers)

@ kavya ... if u remeber the points u will definetly got marks , as institute practice manual and rtp have technical language , if u use it in ur xam it will benefit you more . bas ek cheez yaad rakho ratt lo points with words ... if u want gud marks otherwise institute ka kuch ni pta ... in my case .. isi baar xamz diye hai aur language practice manual ki use ki hai .. as my frnd suggest me coz he got gud marks in ISCA coz usne practice manual n rtp ki language likhi thi . 

aage u khud bht samajhdar ho 

What ever u refer.... refer it througlly not just like one topic from one author and the other one from the other author......take one reference book  throughlly and ICAI book..

@ CA ghanshyam joshi , @ suvajit sahu:, @ swati:, @ rahul :, @ Sanjay :

: thanku so much all of you...i agree that general answers are not paid off...i followed dinesh madan for IPCC...felt easy while studyin n since the topics were bit general it was easy to understand n learn...but somehow dint score well as i thought i could....thats y this time for CA final i wanted to go with the technical language which institute is expecting..but looking at the module...i felt i its difficult to remebr all points in these few months since i ve other subjects to cover too..

thanku allof u for yr suggestions..:)
