02 July 2012 6 months is quite enough for cs and cwa ... But In CA u need more time and practice and if you are an average student, it will create just pain in your head. So I will advise you to go for just 2 which are cs and cwa , as cs falls in this december , so you have just 6 months left. And you don't wanna skip CWA . First be firm in these two , only then go for ca final preparation...otherwise you will struck in all three.
Hope these advises will be useful :-
1. Buy lawpoint scanner for cs first. As its really good for exam preparation.
2. Then do those chapters which are common in CS and CWA.
3. Divide your time in 2:1 ratio doing CS and CWA studies.
4. Once you are thorough with this, then only you should proceed to CA. best of luck dear....
And I think if you follow this rule , you can even score a rank .

14 July 2012 yes, I have seen a person who was also a rankholder in his CA days. he managed his office and studies very well. But he opted for group attempt for cs as his main focus was on CA. And he passed with good marks in cs and as well as CA.

02 August 2025 Hey! Managing CA, CS, and CWA finals consecutively is definitely challenging but doable with the right strategy. Here’s a detailed take based on experience and common best practices:

---

### Key Points to Consider:

1. **Exam Dates and Gap:**

* CS Final: Dec 2012
* CWA Final: June 2013
* CA Final: Nov 2013

You have roughly 6 months between each exam, which is good spacing.

2. **Difficulty & Preparation Style:**

* **CA Final** generally demands more practice and conceptual clarity, especially for subjects like Accounts, Audit, and Tax.
* **CS & CWA Finals** have some overlapping subjects (like law, company affairs, cost management), so preparation for these can be streamlined.
* Self-study is possible but needs strict discipline.

3. **Workload and Stress:**

* Attempting all three consecutively without breaks can cause burnout.
* It’s important to keep some buffer time for revision and unexpected delays.

---

### Suggested Strategy:

**Option 1: Attempt All 3 Consecutively**

* **Pros:**

* Finish all qualifications faster.
* Maintain study momentum.
* **Cons:**

* Intense pressure, very little room for error.
* High chance of fatigue and lower performance in one or more exams.

**Tips If You Choose This:**

* Start early, at least 4-5 months before your first exam.
* Prioritize CS and CWA first (since CS is earliest and CWA last attempt).
* Focus on common subjects first to save time.
* For CA, start light and gradually ramp up after CWA is done.
* Use mock tests and past papers regularly.
* Maintain a fixed daily timetable; avoid distractions.

---

**Option 2: Drop CWA Final (or postpone)**

* **Pros:**

* More focused preparation for CS and CA.
* Better chance of scoring higher and reducing stress.
* **Cons:**

* Delay in completing CWA.
* May lose the last attempt opportunity for CWA (important if no training).

---

### My Recommendation:

* If you are confident, disciplined, and have a solid base, **go for all three consecutively** with strong time management.
* Otherwise, prioritize CS final first (Dec 2012) + CWA final (June 2013), then CA final (Nov 2013).
* Don't compromise quality over quantity.
* Make a detailed study plan with milestones for each subject.
* Focus on understanding concepts rather than rote learning.
* Take regular breaks and maintain good health.

---

### Extra Tips:

* For CS and CWA:

* Use integrated study materials since some topics overlap.
* Prepare law and company affairs well, as they are scoring areas.

* For CA Final:

* Focus on practice and revision after CWA exams.
* Take online test series or coaching for weak subjects.

* Stay motivated and track progress weekly.
