Hello Friends

I have appeared thrice for group IInd of PE 2 but haven't been able to clear it and I think the main reason for this is the Costing and FM paper. I have got lowest marks in this paper in all my attempts. It seems that I can't complete this paper in 3 hrs. I request you all to please suggest me how to prepare this papaer? I'm preparing for May 08 exams. Would you suggest any book ? Please reply.

Thanks.

1.7 minutes are required to wirite one mark in the exam. So you need to complete the question by multiplying it with 1.7. It comes only with practice. So practice well.

I feel that you are not practising the problems. This is the major draw back of majority of the students.

MY ONLY ADVICE IS TO STUDY RAJESH MAKKAR NOTES OF COSTING AND FM YOU MAY GET BETTER UNDERSTANING AND EASIER APPROACH IN ALL TOPICS WITH REGARDS SHALEEN SRIVASTAVA CA FINAL

Hi All,

I have my own openion on preparation.

I dont know how meny of us are working or not, but This is the good idea for those who are completely concentrated on studies.

I think you might have heard about sunday exams, there you will get the question papers based on chapter. initially like first 5 chapter, then next 5 chapter then total 10 chapters, wise exams will be conducted
it will help a student to prepare the entire syllabus and can give 100% of their attempt.

Try your luck

hi, can u tell me from where i'll get rajesh makkars notes for costing & FM for PE-II

we find 60 marks in Costing ie., 4 questions, and 40 marks in Financial management ie., 3 questions. for every question atleast 4 marks is associated with theory. Concentrate primarily on theory, Comming to Practical questions u have 2 compulsory questions obviously ABC and Capital Budgetting. Approach to this practical session according to the weightage of chapters In my view for costing. ABC Process/Joint by products Material Labor Overheads Reconciliation of Costing & Financial Accounts Contract Costing My view for F M Capitall Budgetting Ratio Analysis, Cash flows Working Capital Mgt Capital Structure- Cost of Capital Stuff in a candidate is decided by way he is utilising the day before exams Time is not sufficient for revising entire syll According to ur preparation u schedule the chapters in the order u have to revise on that day. dear friend i also found the same problems what u r facing now. I cleared my pe2 in nov 07 I hope U will clear this time

Hi All, The scheme of going for Sunday test was from Old syllabus ie., CA Inter and CA PE-II and this has also been applied for CA Final also. This will be conducted by the institute which fecilitates the students to get the eligibility certificate for attending the exams. Though the student got the eligibility certicicate, one can go to institute and can write it. on every sunday, institute will be conducting the Exams which is at 10-1 and 2-5. 2 Exams. and you will also get the result after max of 4 weeks. So please contact the institute of your place and get the info about it.
