@ Sneha in some of the subjects it's not possible to revise whole course in a single day. MAke a schedule in advance so that you can cover atleast 85% in course in exams based on priority of chapters and you will be able to attempt 90 marks paper with full confidence. However some papers may be extremely tricky then do attempt those questions first which you know very well. In such a way you will be able to attempt 60 marks questions very confidently. Moreover, you should make summary notes in subjects like audit and IDT(if read from rajkumar sir's book). This way you can crack the exams.

@ Palak
Tips for interview
1. You should be professionaly dressed and should be extrememly confident while giving answers ..your body language is as important as your domain knowledge..
2. Read about the Company.. its very important!!! because a very important Interview question is..' Why our Co.?'
3. You don't need to read any magazine before appearing for a CA interview.. what all they want to assess is your domain knowledge. so before appearing for an interview if you can get an insight on what is the job profile they are providing you can accordingly prepare.
4.Important interview topics..
a. Accountancy- Basic accountancy(cpt level) and AS..
b. Auditing- SA
c. Direct Taxation- All heads ,TDS, Basic
d. Indirect taxation- EVERYTHING!!!
e. Law- Comapnies ACT 2013(Most Imp)
I hope the information is useful and you pass with flying colours.
