The Nine Study Habits of Successful Students

Successful students have good study habits. They apply these habits to all of their classes and assignments:

1. Try not to do too much studying at one time

2. Plan specific times for studying

3. Try to study at the same time each day

Improving Concentration

• Study in a quiet place that is free from distractions and interruptions. Try to create a space designated solely for studying. 

• Make a study schedule that shows what tasks you need to accomplish and when you plan to accomplish each task. This will provide you with the structure you need for effective studying. 

• Try to study at that time of the day you work best. Some people work well early in the morning, others late at night. You know what works best for you.

• Relax; it's hard to concentrate when you're tense. It's important to relax when working on a task that requires concentration. Meditation is helpful to many students. 

• Develop an interest in what you are studying. Try to relate what you are studying to your own life to make it as meaningful as possible. This can motivate you to concentrate. 

Please help me too. I am in similar situation.

I have explained it here in another thread. (for some technical reason my browser fails to copy, paste)

I am totally depressed as to what to do next. I have no motivation to study at all because of this issue.

I have a exemption in ISCA (71) for group 2.

Below is my preparation for group 2:

1. Finished QT part of costing. Planning to leave Standard costing altogether and concentrate on other chapters.

2. Finised case laws and a bit of Valuation Proceedures in IDT

3. Finished Wealth Tax only in DT

WRT group 1

1. Finished IFM in Starategic Financial Management. I am a bit good at understanding share markets and financial jargons. I used to watch lot of documentries and read economist regularly. I love this part of the CA syllabus. But wrt exams not prepared on this subject well, though.

2. Auditing is one subject I dont fear much. Went to Vikas Oswal classes. A 2 day solid peparation is all I need to pass.

3. Financial Reporting is not my cup of tea when it comes to exams. I read the misc accounts chapter (EVA, SVA, MVA, Human resources accounting etc) some time ago. Other than that I dont have much Knowledge about this subject

4. Law is the subject I dread the most. No matter how much I read end of the day i seem to forget all.

Now my question is should I opt for both groups or only group 2? Since I laready have 71 in ISCA it is enough for me to get 45 in each subject and clear the group. Will I be able to work on Group 1 in the remaining 35 days? Are the subjects easy enough to be cleared with just 35 days of solid preparation. I really want to clear both groups this time and move back with my family. Am I being practical in trying to clear both groups?

Please help me. I am really going mad over this issue.
