HI FCA girl .....
if u have any option to sit in nov 2012 exam .u should go for group 1 .
because from may 2013 onwards IFRS would be applicable.
if ur attempt is due on may 2013. u can go for both groups or only group 2.
u have exactly 1 yr left which looks sufficient if u correctly plan ur study and strategies ....
remember ,if u wanna sit for both groups u donot just have to finish the syllabus but u have to digest all 8 papers completely...
it depends on your own capasity and stamina.
a good preparation can only help you to clear ca final.....
right now ,u should focus on preparation rather than on exam.
best of luck.....
