Anyone in same boat ?

HI There are no shrtcuts for CA examinations , do consider only one group & I would advise stress on group 1 as its comparatively easy to cover & you may still embark on the fast track study mode & try covering up the syllabus with Notes like books for eg. Padhuka or Surabhi Bansal Notes etc & yes do not forget the suggested compilation published by ICAI over its website . Refer to Shrt notes & try studying & remembering fast in theory subjects. In practical papers like Accounts & MAFA you do not have much releivance but you can solve the problems & lesser # of probs on similar topic , but by large all the topics so that you are not leftover with anythng you did not know.

In your kind of situation you can follow the maxim " three hours of paper but three minutes of verification" . So be quick in grasping & covering syllabi & try remembering in points & revise points again & again so that they sit in your mind.

Also , you may go through an anlysis of past exam q& A & accordingly you can decide the topics of high importance & proceed accordingly.

Also , next time on do not wait for studies till last month ...but keep on studying day & night over the entire period & spend as much time you can ( whatever you get ) this way it will be easy to cover the syllabi & then practice. Remember what all the religoius text advise man "STRIVE WITH PATIENCE & CONSTANCY ,SO THAT YOU SHALL SUCEED"

Rest is gods wish . ALL THE BEST ...
