22 November 2013 Can anyone tell me that which is better to choose.

I have till now completed Accountancy, Ethics, Communication, Service tax and Vat. I have studied very little on Cost and FM, Business Law and Income tax. I have not yet touched group 2. I am doing self study. I have started my preparation on September and I have completed ITT which took around 40 days, So I can say I have prepared for around 1.5 months @8hrs a day till now (I got 75 in ITT total and did it in single attempt. This I say just to convey my ability and my capability so DON'T MISTAKE ME PLEASE).

Now I thought to re-look my preparation and then strengthen rest of my preparation and reschedule my plan (even if I go for single group) and I felt why not we go for both the group. I feel it will be easy to pass for me in group 1 if I go for group-wise. I can spend almost all days and full hours in a day for my exam in may i.e. I can prepare freely and I have no constrains. I believe in learning than just getting marks which was the reason first I thought to go for group wise. But what made me think is that if I am capable for going both group then why single. Also I like to do or learn different and more things as I love to explore in my field.

I am through CPT route and I have completed it with ease and I know IPCC is very different from CPT and that is the thing which made me to ask you friends (I got 136 in single attempt and I did self study in CPT and studied for 4hrs daily for 2 months). I have five months in hand now. I thought to keep last month for writing question papers and revising topics. So I have four months for preparation. I felt some extra difficulties in learning costing and FM. These are the factors which make me think.

Please tell me whether I have to go for single group or both the group. I have planned to study for 14 hrs a day and yes I already have the experience of reading long hours and I think I can do it and last thing I am not a graduate so I have no extra knowledge other than what I have learnt in school(CBSE) and for CPT and the above which I have mentioned earlier.

The reason I ask this question is because I don't know the level of questions and its difficulty in exams and I fell it is always better to discuss issues with the seniors and experienced people. Thank You

22 November 2013 1. It is advisable that you continue with your study plan

2. it is always advisable to go for both the groups as it leaves opportunity for rank as well as inter-group set off

3. five months is more than sufficient to cover the whole of the course easily.

22 November 2013 Thank you Nikhil Kaushik for your opinion.

Anyways I am not in need of marks i.e. I am not thinking for rank or just a way to pass. My problem is not whether I can pass. I want to know whether I can acquire knowledge to become a knowledgeable CA within the given period. Will I be able to cover full portion in the remaining time?

And one factor is I just read one or two chapters in Costing and FM, Business Law, Income tax.
