Hello guys, I want your opinion for isca classes. Is it worth to spend 10k and 120 hours on swapnil patni's classes. I saw his demo lecture and he said that he will be making students write answers in his class only for questions in PM. I have seen teachers who say that in demo but somewhere in middle they lose their way. Please suggest.

Go for self-study. CA FINAL ISCA is not so horrible as CA IPCC. It is literally easy. You will able to understand 85-90% by yourself in the first reading. For rest, you have to do some research. Buy Manish Valeccha book and combine it with study material. AND REVISE,REVISE AND REVISE.

I would recommend you to watch revisionary videos available on youtube (there are plenty of them available) and find classes which are available among friends and peers.

Study from the ICAIs Study Material + Practice Manual + Any summary notes of your choice.

Try attempting a few Mock Tests before your exam. ISCA will be covered easily.

Concepts are undoubtedly important in ISCA, but more important is your ability recall exact headings/ words in the examination which you would be able to do only with Revision on your own. No teacher can teach you that.

At the end sab kuch tumko karna h.... Koi b class kam nh ayegi.... Sirf heading ratt jayegi.... N ander ka content 0 hoga yeh hoga class lene se.... Agr much time nh h is sub k lye...yeh aisa sub h hi nh ki jo class li aur sidha exam hall me... Bht mehnat karni padegi... N uske lye self study jaruri h.... Exam point of view se que k ans karna start karo.... Tricky que nh ate sidhe ate h to practice chahye.... Koi b book... Manich valecha... Sudeep mangla... Bht sahi h iske alwa banane khudke notes padenge jo exam me click kare.... Mene to key words k notes banaye the n itni mehnat ki... Ki exam k time wo word click huye.... Jo shayd classes lene se nh hoga... Class me heading rata denge n ander k content k key word me zero hoga... To last yahi h self study karo... Baki prajjwal ne jo bola revision video dekho n notes banao..... Best of luck

Thank you guys for all your suggestions,but I have been here long enough to understand where I lack. In isca I am not able complete my syllabus on time. I am hoping with classes I will instill some confidence in myself that atleast I have seen all the parts of the subject and I have to do only revision. That is why I was asking about teacher,not the method of study. If anyone has done classes please let me know. Self study has its own merits and de-merits. I have been trying self study for the last many attempts,so now I am not going to repeat same mistakes as earlier.

I would recommend self study with the text book in which you are comfortable with. ISCA needs repetetive reading and memorizing the key points. So, even if you are attending classes for 120 hours on listening to a lecture, you need to prepare on your own. Have to allocate more time on reading on own and remembering key points.

Hence, I would recommend, invest on a good book and time for preparing for ISCA. techniques like, taking short notes, writing down the answers that you learned, revision will have more impact on gaining mark.

If you are not comfortable with reading for the first time, and hearing goes to the head faster than reading, then you can opt to classes, its worth it. (I dont know about the auther/ faculty you have mentioned)

If you love to read, then self study if preferable.

Its my general opinion.

Thanks guys for all of your time. I ended up studying isca myself as i couldn't manage with office and other subjects. I dont know if this is again the mistake i was dreading earlier,but i am studying from dinesh madaan and hopefully it will not be mistake this time.
