Both Groups or One Group??

09 August 2010

Hi,

I passed CPT(126/200) in June 2010. I am planning to write my IPCC in May 2011. But I am not sure if I should attempt both the groups in May 2011. Is it better if I attempt only Group I or Group II? Or, should I write both together? If you sugest that I write only one of the groups, should I write Group I first or Group II?? Please help me.

Writing first group is always preferable. Because after passing first group only u will get eligible for training even though u passed 2nd group. Regarding choosing to go for single or both groups, it depends on your capability and ur level of knowledge and ur study background earlier and your perfection in english etc. If you are above average student, go for both groups but proper perfect timetable is to be followed from now itself if u want to give both r else give only one group. All the best.

Both Group or Single Group

As you have sufficient time to your credit so you should go for both group.

It depends on your preparation and availability of time along with your capability to handle both group at a time. As per my understanding one should go for single group. My suggestion is not baseless and based on long term professional success and further supported by the following points:

1. By giving one group one can fully concentrate on true and expert examination preparation.

2. By giving one group one can fully utilize his/her time and gain full knowledge of course.

3. According to me group clearance is not the only parameter of success.

4. By giving one group this time one can arrange some time for himself/herself which is very important. Self assessment is also important.

5. Appearance in both group is not a guarantee of success.

These points are based on my personal thinking and helped me a lot in my professional exam preparation and prevent me from failure along with good application of my knowledge.

I personally feel that a reasonable distinction is required to be drawn between quick success and long term professional success with good knowledge.
