Dear all,
 
Firstly, abundance thanks for providing such a platform where any query can be posted without any hesitance. :)
 
I am Parul Agarwal, currently pursuing my articleship.
 
I have written my IPCC in May'12 and my Final attempt falls in May'15.
 
My question is when is the right time to take coaching for Final.
 
My major hiccups are:
 
1. Portion for subjects such as Direct Tax, Indirect Tax may change, which we can't begin now. Moreover, with the IFRS coming up, we can't start on Advanced Accounts as well.
 
2. Right now I have 2.5 years (Jan-May'15), but I'll have to plan accordingly as I have
 
a. B.Comm 2nd and  3rd Year lined up
 
b.15 days GMCS 1 course coming up in the first year of articleship
 
c.2 full fledged audit season (Apr-Sept'13 and 14) where studying and taking coaching becomes a very strenuous task.
 
3. There are 8 subjects and I don't prefer self study. Each subject& coaching takes min. 1-2 months.
 
 
 
Thus, you may think I am getting a little paranoid in this regard but I do not want to leave any stone unturned in achieving my target of clearing Final, both groups in the first attempt.
 
 
 
Thanking you, humbly and please guide me further in this matter.
 
Any sort of guidance with respect to my attitude towards the goal or the coaching measure or time management et al are warmly and graciously welcome.
 
Thank-you genuinely. :)

START WITH ISCA AND AUDIT AS OF NOW....

ADVANCED MANAGEMENT ACC- MAY 13

MAFA-NOV 13

ACC AND IDT-MAY 14.

DT-NOV14.

AND DO LAW AS PER YOUR WISH.

 

Hey Raunak!

Thanks a ton for your reply.

I was wondering that why have you asked me to delay the preparation of MAFA?

A new batch for MAFA coaching starts from Feb'13, and I was keen on joining that.

So, pls could you specify your reasoning behind it?

yes parul..u can always do that no problem.... i just didnt want u to pressurize urself with 2 tuitions at a time cince u said that u have full fledged audit season in which u wont b able to study properly.....u can do MAFA from FEB and advanced management acc in nov...but rememebr one thing....after completion of mafa tuitions ..dont neglect it completely.....ppl tend to do dat..and they forget everything after 1 year..:)

Oh!

Thank-you Raunak. Such gestures from seniors are really over-whelming. :)

I will surely consider your advise. :)

as u have mentioned u have audit season in april-sep 14....if u wont be able to study that time.how will u complete ur tuitions then??....ACC,IDT and DT tuitions are generally taken 1 year prior to the exams..plz have a chat wid ur fellow articles and principal regarding leave for tuitions.

Yes Raunak..I have audit season Apr-Sept'13 as well as '14 which would be indispensable to miss.

I plan to take a 5 month leave.(Dec'14-Apr'15), wouldn't that be sufficient?

I will start coaching for DT,IDT & Adv Acc. after Sept'14.

Howzzzzat?

nooooo parul...starting 3 tuitions juss 6 months before the finals is very risky...and each subject tutions take minimum of 4-5 months..since u want to clear both groups in one shot..u will need atleast 3 months to revise!!...plz again i suggest u....try to complete maximum tuitions by nov 14...

Thanksss for your concern..but You suggested to DT,IDT and Adv Acc later, then? 

These subjects keep changing right? Last minute prep is the most suitable for it?

they dont change so much else all DT,IDt tutions wud have started 6months before only....further last minute preparation is ok wen u r giving only 1 grp at a time.....since u will b givin both the grps..u will need atleast 3 months to revise....for that u must have completed maximum of ur tuitions by nov-14...u can do DT/IDt from nov 14.. starting all 3 in nov 14..means all tutions will end in april 15....u will have to go tuitions everyday frm nov to april...wen will u revise other subjects and wen will u revise these 3?? april 15?? one month beofre the exams?

very sensible advise raunak.. I am doing the same thing. My attempt is in May 2014. I have already covered up AMA, Audit, SFM. Currently preparing Accounts and ISCA. Then during may-nov 13 I will cover up DT, IDT and Law. Hence I ll be left with 6 clear months for self study and any amendment classes if required. and yes, we must revise all these subjects side by side..

Hmm..

Fine. I will look forward to complete all my coaching till nov.'14 and from Dec'14 (where my leave period will start), I will do self study at home n revise all the coachings.

Thanks more than a ton Raunak...Hope this plan works out. :)

Good Luck Ashisha...Do let me know your final prep! :)

 i am also preparing for may-2014 finals. i have completed all the chapters of Accounts except for standards. SFM is almost finished. In Law and auditing, i am moving very randomly and cant devise a proper strategy as of now. I am quite confused as to how can i move ahead in it. Have you taken any coaching in the subjects that you have completed?

 

In ref to Udit Jain, I think coaching for all the subjects is necessary at this point with the articleship preiod as we wouldn't really get time for self-study.

Moreover, with IPCC being a first hand experience, Final requires advanced knowledge in all the subjects.
