Respected Experts,

I'm a Final Student, my exams are due in November 2014.

Now Hardly 130 days are left before exams.

My Preparations Level is 0%.

I have to pass this exam.

I'll give Grp 1st only in my 1st attempt.

There comes a little fear about SFM & Financial Reporting in my mind after listening to many views of CA Students about its difficulty.

I have Sridhar Book for SFM , whose physique and language also scaring me a little bit. Plus i don't have any Book or any notes for Financial Reporting. Also I haven't attended any Coaching for a Single Day.

Is Sfm & FR really difficult?
Should I purchase any other book for SFM?
Are 130 days too short to crack Grp 1?
