There are still 5 months left for the November 2018 CA exams.
In my opinion, Five months is ample time for preparation of the first group. You just need to develop a proper strategy and ensure that it is executed well. Also make sure that you are done with the subjects before October and leave the last month for revision.
Start with one practical subject and one theory subject in June and try to complete them by the mid of July. Also, don't do selective studies and rather, aim for 100% syllabus coverage as the exams are very unusual in pattern.
All the very best. Work hard.
