I Cleared 1st Group in May,2013 and Flunked in 2nd Group because of ISCA. I have got an exemption in IDT. Despite my total being 404, I Failed. I had 55 in AMA and 54 in DT and 29 in ISCA. I have to reappear for these 3 Exams. Despite preparing so hard for ISCA, I dont know why I didnt got atleast 40 in ISCA. I read Dinesh Madan thoroughly but it covered only 60 marks of exam Question. Any suggestions for ISCA so that I can clear in Nov.

Practice manual is the best book for isca in addition to one reference book. Go through study material also if u have time.

Always try to give answers in points and answers should be to the point.

Got 63 in isca by reading study material and Practice manual.

All the best .Jaicky

Hi Jaicky,

I suggest u to refer Prof. Jignesh Chheda's Book which is exhaustive and covers everything, u dont even need to study practice manaual also.

@ jaicky......I have done self-study & cleared Group 2 of Final this time & scored 56 in ISCA using Devang Dalal..even Manish Valecha too is a very good book as suggested by @ neerajkumar..suggestions have been given..now make ur own choice...

Also, @ jaicky, @ neeraj & @ Anoop....

Would feel obliged if u guys would suggest me the books u referred for Group 1,since i m yet to attempt Group 1 & would suffice with self- study this time around as well........>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I refered to prof jignesh chheda's book. Got 61 although i expected above 75. personally i dont really think choce of book really make a difference. just study isca everyday for 3 hrs from whichever book ur comfortable . makes a hell lot of difference.

All the best, you'll do well. sometimes luck plays a big role. I got 405 in my nov 12 attempt but 34 in costing.so had to give my 2nd group again. so i can understand how you feel. Cleared in May 13 :D

Dinesh madan book already done.

have a good reading of Practice manual and compiler and 2 RTP.

And one reading of study module is enough to know about the concept so that you won't face the hurdle of new things.

And Please remember one thing :-

without proper revision no matter how many books you read, you'll again find yourself trapped at D-day.

So do little but do it perfectly. I have done this mistake many times and won't repeat it now.

Thanx everybody for ur suggestions. I want to let u knw that I did pract manual too. But as per my analysis, prat man has covered only 60-70 questions which are asked in may 13. N dinesh madan has covered only 60 mks unlike other books which have covered everything. @ Akila-Thanx for suggestion. I did ISCA from dinesh madan thrice till feb. Then daily 2.5 hrs till April. then too u can see my marks because of referring wrong book
