Hi friends, my name is Pooja Kamath and I'm a CA final student..The coming May 2012 attempt would be my fourth attempt to attain this degree..well the first time i appeared,i failed drastically but i deserved to fail as i hadnt put any efforts..the second was better but still failed as i hadn't revised at all..for the third attempt,i gave my blood,heart and soul and i still couldnt pass..infact i failed in 4 subjects..now im low in confidence,my parents are losing faith,my friends who passed are behaving very pricey..i know that i can pass considering i have 3 months in hand..but now my family thinks i should only appear for one group..i dont know what i should do..i cant decide for myself..it hurts to see tht people dont confide in my abilities..i already wasted 2 weeks recuperating from my failure.. Friends,please advise what should i do..should i give a group and deflate my ego or should i confide in myself and attempt both the groups?

Hi Pooja

It really inspires me when I see people clearing their exams in 3rd/4th attempt. It speaks a whole lot about your patience, perseverance, commitment and dedication towards achieving what you want to! Tremendous respect for you.

Coming to your query, don't get bogged down by your friends who have started to act pricey. Good thing is, you know who your true friends are. The only ones who will stand by your side no matter what. As for your family, they have NOT lost any faith in you. They are asking you to appear in one group at a time because they feel you aren't being able to cope up with the pressure of two groups. So their advice is in your best interests, as they want you to succeed.

But ultimately, you have to take a call! Considering you have 3 months in hand and you're confident of studying well and clearing it in May 12, go ahead with both groups! Just believe in yourself, and things will surely fall in place. Also, there should be no ego issues if you plan to give a group at a time. Your ultimate goal is to clear the exams. I suggest go ahead with giving both groups, as I'm sure you'll be able to crack it this time.

Wish you all the very best Pooja!! :)

When you believe that you can pass both the groups with three months preparation then why do you need to worry about what others say. Give your best and you will definitely clear.

It is good that you have realised that you are wasting time by thinking about your failure. Take tips from the failure, dont repeat the mistakes again, study and revise properly and then no one can stop you. Read some dose of books on self motivation/positive thinking for about 10-15 mins daily to keep yourself motivated. My pick would be "The Power of Positive thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale. Also practice meditation to remain focussed and keep your concentration levels high.

Good luck.

Hey Time management is essential factor in professional studies so each and every second is precious dont waste time except relaxing yourself between studies. Don't atten exams for passing CA but work each and every subject, know the concept automatically u will get good marks in exams.

Moral: We are here to "IMPRESS TO EXAMINER" But "EXPRESS TO YOURSELF TO EXAMINER"

Sometimes due to various reasons, it may not go well when a student writes both the groups at once even thouugh he/she has made a very sincere, dedicated and determined preparation. I think the same is happening with you since unfortunately you were not successful in your last three attempts when you gave both groups at once. So I advise you to go for only one group this time in which you are strong comapared to the other.

Best of luck.

Dear, Whatever happens in our day to day life is the outcome of our social environment and our health. You have to ensure that ur social envt is favourable to u, if not then try to make it in ur favour. Ensure that u r healthy and try to overcome ailments, if any, which obstructs ur studies . I know that u r a hardworking student, but u know something hardwork works in long run. If u want to pass now ensure 'hardwork with intelligence'. Hardwork includes discipline n practice. Intelligence includes deep understanding of concepts, art of writing, delivery of appropriate answers in situations, thinking deeply on a subject, time management. May be u r lacking some attributes of intelligence. Your guide... 1)convince ur parents, explain that it is normal to fail in ca exams, explain dat if u will quit dis time u will curse urself for lifetime. 2)keep priority on one group n ensure dat u will cent % clear that and side by side build up ur 2nd group kmowledge. chances of passing single group will be high, u can also clear both group simultaneously, now u r ensured that u will not fail both the groups. 3)fix ur routine, do anulomvilom by inhaling from one nostril and exhaling from other for atleast half an hour in morning, eat healthy, sleep healthy. 4)at last remember 'hardwork with intelligence' and start ur studies. REST GOD WILL LOOK AFTER YOU. BEST OF LUCK

i think ur parents are correct, when ur trying so hard getting negative results you should reconsider your decision & should focus on individual groups, once a group is cleared it will motivate you to clear the other one too, hope you get passed this time. God bless you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
