Fail

Give both the groups.. But prepare thouroughly for first group..

I'm also doing the same

even i thought the same...

thank u 

hi ambica.... sitting for both groups or in a single group depends on your status of preparation and personal capability....

i don't know whether you gave both groups in may 2012 or not.

if u have preparation for both the groups and you have to just revise them then there is no question of writing a single group in up coming exam.....

if you don't have preparation in a single group or so then just sit back, calculate the time left , and divide it by number of papers you have to study and make you strategy accordingly......

(i am really confused with it...as i heard ppl who give one group wont pass is tat true?)

i cleared my pcc exams by writing one group at a time  in may and nov 2009.  so ,what you hv heard from your friends is totally wrong and baseless ...

i don't know the current status of your preparation .....if u hv preparation in place then  just revise it again and again to  make it solid and go for both the groups......

ICAI does not  bother whether u hv written single group or both the groups......ICAI do bother about the quality of papers u hv written in the exam.....

writing high quality answers is the key to get good marks and solid preapration is the base to write high quality answers .......

finally, whether you give single/both the groups solid preparation is needed to clear  CA exams.......

@ SUVAJIT...

thank u so much i am feling les tensed after reading your psot..

ur right...prep matters...

i had given both group may2012...my prep ws nt gud i guess tats y i flunked na..

thank u soo much

i also gave my first attempt of group1 this time and didnt pass............

marks scored by me are really unexpected...............

i attempted only 55% in accounts and got 50.....got a shock

i attempted sixty % in cost and fm...........and got 40, again a big shock coz i was expecting failure in that

law.........i was very happy after giving this paper............expecting sixty above but got 45

tax............my fav sub............expecting 70............got 47

mujhe aisa feel ho raha hai like i have no reason to blame myself for my failure except that i attempted less in accounts bcoz in that subject i could have scored well...........................

hi preeti.....

u  have scored above 70% marks out of your attempts ,this shows that the quality of your answers are good but you'r attempts are not enough.....

your fault is that you're not covering the entire syllabus but this time you have enough time left  in hand to cover the entire syllabus.....

if you carefully analyse a paper you will find that ICAI covers almost 70% - 80% of your syllabus in an exam. so you have to cover at least 90% of your syllabus (covering all important topics) atleast 1 month before exam.

see past papers, make a strategy and study accordingly.......

i believe you can score above 60% in your next exam.

best of luck.......

hi ambika,

i suggest you to go for both groups...c the strategy u can plan is prepare well for the 1st 5 papers and then there are 5 days gap for auditing and IT&SM which you can utilise v. nicely. Because for both the subjects its sufficient if you just go thrrough practice manuals only. 

This was my strategy for may'12 wherein there was no such gap also and i cleared it pretty decently.
