I need suggestion regarding May 2014. I appeared for both the groups in Nov 2013 but dint clear. I am getting married in Feb 2014. So i can prepare for May 2014 attempt only after my marriage! Which group should be given priority for this attempt, 1st or 2 nd group? I won't be having sufficient time to study both the groups for this attempt! So i am planning to prepare for 2nd group first as there are many changes and modifications in the syllabus applicable for Nov 2014. Am I thinking right? I am really very confused! pls help me friends!

It depends on you. second group has only three 3 subjects so comparatively it is easier to prepare in less time.

i think she is in final not in ipcc well congratulations on your marriage , wish you a very happy life ahead

i think you shouldn't give any group at all In may .. enjoy the marriage time and what follows after that , why take exam pressure and be stressed out ? life will be different after marriage and may take time in getting adjusted mentally which may effect your focus and preparation. giving unprepared and half hearted attempt is not a good idea .. i am hoping there is no financial or any other kind of Emergency ..

if you are determined to give an attempt then giving 1st group makes more sense..

1) whole company Law will be changed in novemeber attempt ( new syllabus will not have many case studies and past exam questions )

2) law, audit doesn't require practicing problems ,sums .. plain theory subjects.. so these two will take less time in completing them

3) SFM carries 30 marks for theory , do that and do 3-4 big chapters.. 50-55 marks can be scored without giving too much time

4) for Accounts doing Standards + valuation will cover 70 marks of paper ..

in second group there aren't many changes as you think

IDT

only 20-30 pages have been added for foreign trade policy in place of VAT

ISCA

although 90 % of the syllabus has been chnaged but this is a pure cramming theory subject .. questions are more direct unlike law that will involve case studies and conceptual clarity..

Finance act 2013 will be applicable so not big changes (just usual small amendments and case laws

AMA/COSTING

very lenghty subject will take good amount of practice as well..

i hope that helped Best of luck

This is absolutely a fact that life changes a lot after marriage! But i don't want to miss any single attempt this year bcoz it would become much more difficult for me to study once i am not in touch with the subjects for few months! However there are no pressures and responsibilities on me as of now! No issues of any crisis at all! The only thing is I don't want to delay my success and loose my touch with the subjects and this profession! So after enjoying till Feb I am completely prepared to start my preparation from march!

Pooja ji sorry for mis getting you, thought you're in IPCC. Anyway if you'd taken the classes then you can go for the both groups otherwise single group can be the safe side. But be bold and try to attempt both the groups. By the way congratulation for marriage.:)
