BOOKS OTHER THAN INSTITUTE STUDY MATERIALS FOR ACCOUNTING??

study material is enough. concentration on clearing concepts.

a/c - Modern accountancy for cpt by Hanif and mukherjee

Pls buy solved scanner book for cpt by amar omar..it will give u fair idea abt exam pattern..

also buy institutes model q paper which consist of 20 qp..try to solve as much as possible...

with regard to cpt study all the institute material first  n then read the above mentioned.. (exception is if u find difficulty r need much clarity in accounts u can use hanif's book for reference )

If ur good in maths ..then cpt wont be a problem.. if not, study completely the statistics portion ... 

attend question in which ur 100 % sure.. 

overall try to attend mini. of 150/200..(including qt) u can easily crack it.. june 2010 pass % was 27.55.. so study with care..try to complete in ur first attempt itself.. its ur first step to ca so dont take chance..

All the best...!
