Try to memorize the points of a topic by forming mnemonics or code words. This will surely help you.

The institute module is more than sufficient to clear the exams. Do not refer any other books for studying. Study the module very well. A lot of time has to be spent on ISCA as it is only theory. Revise ISCA on a regular basis. This is a paper where you will feel blank if you have not revised for more than 2 weeks in a row. Regular revision is required. Chapter 2, 10 is important as well as others also. Chapter 5,6,7,8 is comparatively easier to study and lot of marks can be scored from this area. Study this paper with lot of effort. ICAI require more or less you to reproduce the same from material.

Hii.. If you hav to start now and pass then go fr dinesh madan as its language is easy to understand while module contains typical language and will consume lot of tym.. Juz prepare from dinesh madan and refer prac manual with that..that will be sufficient to score decent marks.. Sequence of chap.. 1st do chap no. 2 as it contains basics of isca then go for vhap 5 which tells how to develop comp systems studied in chap 2 then chap 3rd controls..these 3 chap in total carry weightage of approx 25to 35m.. then 8 and 1 chap as these are recently added chap then fo 4,5,6n 7 which are easy as compared to initial chap

First go for chapters 8, 4 & 7 in sequence. Very easy & small chapters covering for 30-35 marks. Then go for Chapter 3 & 6 simultaneously as these are interlinked & covering around 35 marks. Then go by chapter 2 covering around 15 marks. Then chapter 5 do it selectively. A big chapter covering 15 marks. Do all types of system testing questions as 1 of them will come for sure. Last chapter 1, 3rd class chapter, easy to underatand but difficult to learn covering around 10 marks. Mug up 4-5 imp definitions, you wil cover 5 marks minm q from this.

If you go by above sequence, you will feel confident as you will be covering 35 marks within one week as first 3 chapters are small & easy. Then go for 2nd slot i.e. ch 3 & 6 will take 10 days ( 3 hrs daily) . You will cover around 70 marks within 17-18 3rd slot is difficult & will take time around 15 days covering around 40 marks. So you can plan accordingly.
