Hey! For CA Final SFM, here’s a quick take on your questions about **A.N. Sridhar** and other references:
1. **Does A.N. Sridhar contain past year RTPs?**
* Yes, it usually includes **recent RTPs and some past exam questions** but may not have a complete set of all previous years’ RTPs.
2. **Does it mention the year of exam for the past questions?**
* Generally, yes. The book mentions the year or the exam session for RTPs and important questions, so you can track which exam they belong to.
3. **Other books with past year questions & RTPs year-wise:**
* **Padhuka** is well-known but you don’t like it. * **V.K. Singhania (Taxmann)** book on SFM is good and contains past questions with year references. * **TMH by Satyaprasad** is also recommended by many for good coverage with past exam questions.
4. **My suggestion:**
* Solve **A.N. Sridhar** or **V.K. Singhania** thoroughly **at least twice**. * Combine it with practicing **all RTPs and MTPs** from ICAI website yearly. * Time yourself to improve speed and accuracy. * Mock tests and past 10 years’ solved papers are very important too.
No single book guarantees exemption, but thorough practice + good concepts = strong chance.
