1) for SPM( paper 17) -first segregate the theory questions in last 3 chapters containing 40 marks and next do all the sums in t.book which contains 30 marks arround and read some case studies like CRM,SCM,target costing,BPR,balance scorecard bench marking contains 20 marks and for 10 marks they will ask one theory question from the 6 chapters..so better to prepare for 90 marks,so that u can easily score 50 marks in dat. along with that do previous papers from dec 2014...

Must do ptp, mtp, rtp for all the subjects usually carries 20-30 marks each paper.
paper 17 - if you are good in theory target part b&c (single practicle question altman z model- 5 marks either in paper 17 or 20 part-a(june 15) - must do ) along with chapter 3 form part a along with it practicle question & for case study do rtp, mtp, ptp (usually same in exam - e.g. june2015) - leads to full 100 marks.
paper 18 - do part c first because some topic like valuation of HR/VA/EVA are comman with paper 20 - then do govt accounting (one question from basic, one from committees, one from standards, one from rest) - then Amalgamation - then standards - then Consolidation (because as per last two paper style you can do 35 marks amalgamation & 15 marks consolidation.
paper 19 - focus on CRAR 2014 (15-20 marks) - then operational audit (safety) - then case study (do ptp,rtp,mtp) (sure 20 ,marks) - then practicle question from cas(labour-7, material-6, cap comp-4 practicle questions - around 10-12) - then Caas (only 4 are there must have idea about it (5-10marks)
paper 20 - focus on part -a much easy for candidate & limited scope area for examiner practice from rtp,ptp,mtp is sufficeint. for part - b do valuation & m&a & ptp,rtp,mtp.
