I hav cleared PE2 on 30th last month. this was my 3rd attempt. i had worked hard in every attempt, but finally i got through. as i am young now...i didnt feel the pressure of failing and trying again. BUT in order to give my 100% in Nov 2010 Final, i am considering taking a dummy articleship.

I knw tht i wont get work exposure and all. But which is better, according to ur experience, PE2 passout with work ex or Final passout without work ex.

Moreover, i am planning to join a firm aftr 2yrs of articleship i.e aftr sitting for the Final. So i will b havin 1-yr practical exp. i.e 3rd yr of articleship.

Am i risking too much?? pls help.
1. how much -ve effect of dummy falls on attempting the Final ? any huge relation to syllabus?
2. if i pass CA Final by 23-24, and work for the last yr of articleship, how much will i be losing.
