14 November 2014 My final exams are going on. I was fully prepared, but couldn't appear in law and audit papers due to minor wrist injury on 6th Nov.

But, now I am alright, and appearing for group 2. I was hopeful of getting a rank this time only.

I have lot of strong sources in big 4 firms. Which of the following is better from their point of view (i.e. under which option they will easily recruit me and provide higher package):

1. Passing gr 2 now and gr 1 in may, both with good marks.

2. Deliberately failing in gr 2, and dropping the exemptions (costing and DT) and appearing for all subjects in may, then getting a top 5 rank?

NOTE: I am not depressed or frustrated. I have lost enthusiasm in group 2, that's all. And I am too sure of getting a rank next time, whatever the changes in syllabus.
Obviously, I won't get injured or sick next time. I have VOWED to remain packed in home, exercise, follow healthy diet and just study non-stop till May. As it is, I will have to appear group 1.

People are afraid of CA final, but for me, it's just a lengthy chore, without use of my full mental capability. In short, I feel that anyone who applies little brains and practices a LOT of times, can pass CA final without doubt!

14 November 2014 1st would be better. Bird in hand is always better than 2 in bush. re you sure next time you will NOT have injury?...Clear group 2 this time.

14 November 2014 I request the experts to avoid such pessimistic suggestions. I don't have to think about the number of birds in the bush!
I am sure of hitting my target, whether 1 bird or 4, and whether in bush or sky!
Sorry, I don't mean to be condescending!

BTW I had passed B tech and B com simultaneously 3 years back. I have also passed CFA L2 6 months back. I am not boasting, but simply mean to state that nothing is impossible for me, as I put my 1000% effort in anything IF it's a challenge for me!

14 November 2014 My opinion is still the same, or rather more confirmed....appear for single group this time and the remaining in the next attempt. Since you said you are B Tech......let me add.... I am making use of Baye's theorm of conditional probability in this.
