I wrote my CA final 2^nd group this attempt and failed..176

I already cleared my first group in June 2009

Nov 2009 I was busy with Articleship

I completed it in Jan 2010 and prepared in a OK manner for may 2010 exams

Let me tell u I am somewhat a lazy type of girl and an average student

But I prepared somewhat ok and scored 182 in dat attempt

But after results declared in july 2010 , I started studying well and tried to put some good efforts

I bought VS DATEY for IDT studied with it.Excllent book..It gav me some good insight into the subject..But it took much of my preparation times…I used G Sekhar for tax..I covered the second half portions after the heads of income well and just a glance over heads of income…Costing and MICS I used my coaching notes..Costing I didn try to do sums own..i was just reading through problems because of time insufficiency…I couldn write costing and direc t tax papers well

I too got 4 months like u…how u utilized those 4 months?i found it v difficult to complete everything in revision…I failed because of lack of practice

What u studied for costing and Direct tax? How it became possible to cover direct tax?i leave heads of incomes and those topics we studied in PEE2…but last time I was able to remember these in May 2010 exams

Whats ur revision / practice strategy when we ve so much of syllabus to cover?

Hello Riya,

Let me tell you my strategy for Group Second for May 11 Exams.

For Costing - Text book by Ravi.M.Kishore by TAXMANN is an excellent book .PLEASE go through the Compilation also.

MICS --- Swear by STUDY MATERIAL of the Institute and do not forget to see the Compilation.

Manish Valechas book on MICS is also a must see.

INDIRECT TAX ---- Study from Deepak Guptas Notes and supplement it with a text book only for reference.You

may choose from DATEY or Bangers book.

DIRECT TAX ----- Undoubtely Vinod Gupta Notes should be the material from which you should prepare.SUPPLEMENT it with Singhanias Book for reference.

ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR PREPARATIONS.

TAKE CARE

Riya, don't be upset. It happens on most of the students. Don't think how vast the syllabus is. Focus on how to memorise those chapters.

Direct Tax

the DT syallabus is vast but manageable. try to allocate days for each chapter (as I had done). I used Bangar & Bangar for DT. Choose those book which can be revisible. Think strategically.

MICS

the syallabus is not vast. hardly 10 chapters. allocate 4 days for each chapter. u can clear u exam

IDT

I prefer Bangar & Bangar. there is enough time to buy and study this book. the best thing that I got form this book that it can be revisible in exam situations. Its method of presenting case studies is wonderful. Try this I think u will succeed. If any other query u can ask me.

(I have cleared my CA in Nov 2010)

Best of luck
