feedback on Mr.Vivek's article - An eye opener for CA Exams

Dear Laxmi,

First of all plz don't lose ur confidence.... I hd also appers in final for many times like u as well as i m working too. I hv pending my second group. You hv to first prepare urself for d group u r much confidence. As per ur article, u shud appear for first group wid full confidence and prepare 2 papers of second group like MICS, IDT for Exemption. This is my advice dat plz concentrate ur more efforts towards first group. Start ur study from today... i'll understand it is easy to speak bt difficult to follow.... but u hv to follow this & once u follow.. U'll be able to recover ur confidence.... all d best to u....

god bless.....

regards,

I M Not At All Agree With Mr. Vivek CA View......

I Think Giving one Group Is Always Tough Than Giving Both Group.......

Firstly iam not against both group.But cracking both group require a  good balance of hard work and smart work.One of the advantage of writing both group is carry forward advantage, but there is a draw back of failure for aggregate.You must be in effective in your studies.Writing of both group securing the aggregate may  be a problem in some case.But decision is yours.If you had prepared well all the subject then better go for both group.If the time is short for studies ,go for group wise
t

Agreed with Ayush....

Dears , Both the scheme have its own merits as well as demerits.Both group require good investment in time and effective utilization of resource. If you have covered the subject well go it for both group...

Advantage of both group

Carry forward of mark and help you to clear

Saving of time

Demerit

Hyper tension during the time of revision

Losing of attempts due to aggregate marks also

Lose of confidence

Group wise

By focuzing only on that group, the students will get more time ...More round of coverage .able to do good number of excercise.It will helpful for cracking the toughest group...

Demerit

Lose of time

Securing aggragate mark is a difficult task unless you are good eighter in theory or problem aspects

Sir we are very thankful for your advice but when i discuss this concept with my collegues than a conclusion arrives and according to that if we appear for only one group then "What if we fail in one group" and if we appear for both groups than may be one pass.

Thanks

just go for both groups...dont bother abt all these advices...many will say write one group out of jealousy also...incase u clear both in one shot they will look like losers before u...so write both groups..be confident...dont trust ppl too much...dont ask advices too much...each1 will try to dominate u with his or her thought...so just take it easy and go for both grps...u can clear easily...

priya, i must say u to learn mannerce

I fully agree with Vivek. When time is a constraint and being a mother and having a family to look after, preparing for one group is little bit easier.

I find that CA students mostly rely on the reference books, solved problems and form a pattern of study and cover 5 chapters this attempt and another 5 chapters next attempt and by fluke they pass.

Instead, study all the four papers with full confidence with time table and we will be able to crack it up.

I Thank you all for the suggestions...Can I know will one month be suffiicient for any 1 group...if so..how to manage,,..If we are perfect with compilations can we expect passs......any tips...for study in short time..plzzz

Me too fully agree with Vivek nd lakshmi from my view u can write single group and tat to one month may not be sufficient for one group also .

start the preparartion atleast today itself

im also giving 1st group only. nd im folowing compilers after referring my notes

look at the compiler atleast once for all the subjects

nd also refer all the practical questions in accounts , auditing , law

law i prefer Munish Bhandari for practical query solutions

hope this infn vl help to u

All the best

Dear Nagalaxmi,

Fact of the case,

key factors

you are employed and married and mother of small kids and have only one month for preparation before exam and finaly you have two more attempts is left with you...So each attempts and time is so crucial and critical.

You will get least time per day for your exam preparation and giving over dependency on study leave of one month .....

From the day onwards hardly three month for exam...So goal setting is crucial.What is goal setting ...opting for both group or individual paper wise....

Even if you opt for group 2 , the cost management papers paly tricky and surprise questions and good valuation too....MICS also crucial....DT is leangthy and IDT also....

For Group one

Accounts will be normal, Accounting standard, SAP or AAS, Audit is lengthy ,CLSP also be careful.Finaly MAFA papers is tricky....

Both group people will carried forward simply all the tension for 3 period of time.

Opting for Group 2

step no 1 Set any two papers for excemption

You require 200 marks from 4 papers...set any two paprers which is targeting for exemption.(Say, MICS and IDT)

Step 2 concept building

For costing exam ,the question shall be real time , tricky, lenghthy, it is not a new question rather the concepts is based on your book only....

Try to solve more number of problems with out refering the solution, which allow you committing the mistake, correction of the mistake..When you not depending on the solution of the problems you will start thinkinrg for solution.This will increase your thinking power the day of exam

step no 3 Understand the most relevant area

Buy latest scanners and suggested answer  ,In costing and OA understand in which area more questions eare set in the previous exam.

Give the weightage according to the marks...Be master in those area

step no 3

Please update the amendement at least 6 month before exam for DT and IDT exam

step no 4

Buy Padhuka book for cost management and Vaidheswaran for IDT...For MICS better refer R chandra sekar ..(It is just recommendatory)

step no 4

keep a habbit of making a good notes...For theory your studies shall be as follows

Read first, identify the logic or concept and document the concept , revise the concept in a good periodic interval and finally  better presentation for exam...

Example for a 5 marks question , you need to write only five relevant point with good heading as well as sub heading.

Strategy for group one

MAFA  Please refer the same of Cost management as above

Accounts

Do consolidation, valuation of good will, amalgamation,demerger,fund account,Accounting standard

Do good number of excersise by devoting your past exam papers

Audit

Buy padhuka book, For AAS you can opt for Dolphy disuza book.

Classify the chapters according to weightage of marks...example...Professional ethics...Audit report,Company audit

The exam question shall be purely testing your concept and in the form of case laws...so be clear

Make the studey method which i was suggested as above

For CLSP

By Munish Bhandari book

Classify according to the weigtages of marks..Make a good note for the concept

Give due weightage for Other Acts such as Competition Act, SEBI Act, Etc

Revise the concept

Conclusion

You should opt eighter group 2 or Group 1 or Both according to your time availability,

All the best

Thank you all the others for making their conclusion....
