Dont waste time in dilemma. Prepare well atleast ONE group.Though there are other benefits for clearing 2 groups at a time, who know that everything will be well for the frthcoming exams in Nov.2015. So dont wait for Nov. Prepare for May15 . Time lost is lost Best wishes.

Give the exam only if you are confident. If you are not very confident, it us recommended to give only 1 group. After your qualification, most of the top companies prefer 1st attempt throughout. Also, it has an impact on your starting salary. As far as articleship is concerned, even Big4s don't require you to pass both the groups.

Passing % is 6 for both group.no guarantee you clear both with long period preparation. Syllabus and reqd approach change every time. So be bold and prepare tactically only with pm. Rtp and mock papers .all the best..

when people have had the courage to give this exam by preparing for just 19-20days why r u so afraid when you have nearly about 2 months to give your exam?? you never know what will happen tomorrow so just go ahead and give both the groups... your selection of material to study alone is important now... just be brave & confident... you can do it :)

I would suggest prepare for Ist group only and give the attempt in May15. However no any guarantee to pass in Ist group in May 15. but you will have prepare Ist group and if unfortunately not cleared in may 15, then all Ist group preapration would be helpful for next attempt to give the both group.

I wish you for best of luck.
