Ca final group 2 study strategy

Dear All,

I am CA final student aged 30 years and my 2nd group is pending. I would like to know whether i should continue with old course or shift to new course and appear in May'18 and skip Nov'17 attempt.

I have already given 8 attempts for group 2. It is getting difficult for me as every time my total for group 2 is coming around 120 to 125. I am having a full time job and cannot give up job for studying. I have to manage studying with job.

I was going through study plans shared by various students the other day, where one of the person shared his strategy was to appear for 2 subjects out of 4 and go for exemption in those 2 subjects and then in next attempt try and manage 40 marks in remaining 2 subjects. This was the strategy that helped that person clearing CA Final alongwith his job.

Would you also advice the same for me? I really dont want to leave CA with only 4 subjects remaining.

Your advice would be very much helpful to me.

Getting expemtion in Group2 with two subjects is much hard task.Instead you go for preparation for all subjects. I think it is better to continue in old syllabus

I believe that to get exemption in any subject , one has to at least appear in all the 4 subjects of the group. and even to just appear ,one has to prepare well. Unless you are extremely lucky, it  takes lot of effort to prepare well for all the 4 subjects.There is no short cut.It demands time.Its just not possible without devoting the requisite amount of time.Its a tough course man.neither good nor bad. I think old syllabus is better for old students.

I m also thinking for new course pls clarify i have seen that paper 6 has choice to select... So is it that we can select any one..?
Also I think under new scheme you have to compete AICITSS before taking final exam.
@ indira it may be for new course students registered after 1 july only..
If you are planning to write second group under old syllabus no need for AICITSS before exam but if you have to convert to New scheme I think AICITSS before taking final. Am I right? Please clarify
@ Indira we have to wait for announcement ..for old to converting to new..
Thanks for the information
