Hi shriraksha,
Then follow Institute Material and also they will also give pratice manuals.
By preparing study material of ICAI, u can analyze step by step of a Topic (or) subject of fundamental of Basics. After reading each topic u can do pratice manual prolems.
If u prepare timetable for each subject and allot a time for each one, then u can go a head after completing all this u can prepare mock test or another model test papers. These is enough for exams.
And if u are not from background of M.E.C Branch or another accounts grp then u must take coaching. But after exam u must take proper coaching for all subjects, becoz if u not having basics of CA u can not understand for further course of Icai. So take positively and prepare well.
All the best,
Best Regards,
Karthikeya...

Hi,
I think you should lay stress n the study matter that has been provided to you and then you should contact people who have already passed CPT, you should take some guidance from them. I think this will help you in a better way.
You can also get a book of sample papers sold by ICAI itself.....along with practicing CPT Model test papers for good result in the exam. Practice those test papers with examination conditions.
Never waste your time and have a discussion with your friends regarding a specific topic for a better grip. For CPT notes use search facility of caclub.
Here are some tips for you, which was helpful to you for the preparation of CPT Exam.
1) IF you are not from Math’s background, then plz keep it in ur mind that u have to get passing marks out of 150.
2) Before starting revision any chapter of accounts, first study whole theory of that chapter and then only solve 1 or two questions from examples. But solve Maximum questions from EXERCISE.
3) Prepare Mercantile Law Very well, because it was the only scoring subject after accounts. Contract Act is important one.
4) In economics 1st complete Macro economics then go for micro economics. Macro Economics also very scoring.
5) IN Quantitative Aptitude, Differentiation and integration, Correlation and regression and theoretical distribution is important one.
6) And make the Strategy to solve M. LAW paper 1st in examination, because u will get more time to solve accounts.
7) PLZ WORK hard in studies, because there are no Short cuts for Success. But u can do ur work Systematically, Which will help u 2 go to the path of Success.
Achieving success in CA CPT Exam is an art and there is no shortcut for success. Hard work and well preparation are the keys to success. There are some valuable tips for you that will help you to ace the exam with flying colors.
1. When you get question paper in the examination hall, read all the instructions carefully.
2. Always read the question carefully before attempting it and do focus on the words like “NOT”, “None of These”, “All of Above”.
3. Attempt the easiest questions first. This way, you can increase your confidence level.
4. If you are not sure about the answer, always go for elimination method. In this method, try to eliminate those answers that can’t be answers ever.
5. For solving the question, try to recall the assignments, formulas, lectures. This way, you can easily solve the question.
6. Nevertheless, if you don’t know the answer, never attempt it as there is negative marking too.
7. At end, always allocate some time for reviewing the whole paper.
All the best

TIPS FOR CPT STUDENTS—article by Sneha Bagla
DONT FOCUS ON JUST MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS
We all the that in CPT only multiple option questions are asked.. and many students focus on solving more and more multiple choice questions nd ignore the subjective questions which are lengthy and they think it’s of no use in CPT exams.....BUT...may be by following this concept u will be able to clear CPT somehow but u wont succeed at IPCC of FINAL level....because CPT is the base nd if u dont have a strong base u cant build a strong building...
Try to solve as many subjective questions as possible bcoz students tend to lose habit of writing long answers nd solving lengthy questions if they focus just on multiple options...
1. ACCOUNTS
If u have a good base of 11th nd 12th std then CPT Accounts wont bother u too much....just stick to the basics because most questions come from the most simple points which sometimes we ignore....again...Accounts is the main subject for a C.A....so if u want to do well at higher levels of the course you should make your base from here onwards...as i mentioned earlier also plz dont go for just multiple choice questions.....solve the most complex questions too nd dont ignore the theory part...
2. BUSINESS LAW-
This is a new subject for you people...nd as i said CPT is the base...try to grab the concept because many questions in the exam wont be directly from the book...you will have to apply your common sense nd u wil be able to answer correctly only if you have the correct concept in mind and trust me this will help a lot at IPCC level...
3.ECONOMICS-
If you are thorough with 12th std eco...u wont have any problem in micro part...its easy but conceptual...dont try to learn it...just keep the concept and the answer will automatically come to your mind by just applying some common sense......
4.MATHS AND STATISTICS-
Many students tend to leave these 50 marks totally bcoz they form an idea that they wont be able to solve it from the initial stage,,,plz dont do that...you are leaving easy 20-30 marks on offer....
Basic idea of maths is very important to be a C.A.....thats why we see students from Science stream clear CA before the students from Commerce background...so if u are leaving this subject completely u are digging ur own grave,....
In Maths nd Statistics u can easily fetch 20-30 marks coz many topics are very easy..just a sharp brain nd basic knowledge of 10th level maths will be sufficient ......u can leave the complex things like calculus nd series if you are not good at maths,,(no need to solve the tough questions from the study material coz u wont get questions of that level from these topics)....
5. ECONOMICS-
Macro part is complete theory nd u will have to learn it somehow...(ratta mar lo aur koi chara nahi hai..)...Its boring but 25 marks come from there....just learn it somehow....nothing can be done about it.....learn the dates even coz u get questions from there too...scanner will be very helpful....
Lastly go for a scanner for all subjects (suchitra prakashan is the best)....u will get a fair idea of importance of each chapter in the exams....
These are my views of what i made out of CPT…hope u people got some useful information....GOOD LUCK...
REGARDS,

Ankur sir's suggestions are spot on! But i can understand the anxiety cuz of less time for the exam. First focus on passing cpt, later worry about b.com and ipcc. It would be helpful for us to give better suggestions if you tell us your background(science or commerce).
Don't focus on just solving problems, rather understand the concepts in accounts. If you grasped the concept and can post correct journal entries then you don't have anything to fear in accounts. Similarly, try to understand the concept in law. Don't just mug up the provisions, but remember what it really means to achieve. Like in contract act, refer to case laws to get the idea of the sections.
If you are not confident in maths, then at least study all the statistics formulas and try to be accurate in it. Try to solve maths using your intuition, just solve it using your skills and formulas. And i don'am assuming that economics is not a problem! Be confident, passing cpt is not hard at all, most students fail cuz of nervousness, low confidence and silly mistakes.

CPT requires the concept of 12th only...the only thing which u get new is law...which is also easy...dont worry...

i jus applied the concepts which i acquired in my shcooling...
