I had appeared for CPT in the month of december and i got 91! I wanna write CPT again. Can i appear for one of the online CPT's in the months of march/april/may(Online) and appear again in the month of June(Paper pencil mode)?

Is there any rule that there should be a gap of at least 6 months between 2 CPT's?

Please reply and clear my doubts! Thanks a lot Caclubindia!

Thanks for the instant reply. I was thinking of appearing for online CPT this time n then attend paper pencil mode again in june! Im not sure whether ill be able to complete the portion and be confident for the online attempt so im gonna appear for the paper pencil mode now!

Well one of my freinds had attended 2 exams in 6 months, ie online and paper pencil mode back to back. How could he do that when theres no option like that?

u can prepare for accounts n law using the study material ..for economics u can use "business economy "book by sankaran....for QT paper concentrate much on statistics part..it is comparatively easy...

U should attend minimum of 60+40+50+20' =170/200

' - that is u should attend minimum of 20 question in qt...concentrate on statistics n do some problems on Si,..Ci...But attend those sumin which ur 100% sure....

There is a solved scanner available in market written by CA amar ..CA Rasika goenka...

If u find difficulty in study material wrt to accounts use any fin a/cing book written for b.com ..The 40 marks in law is just like a cake walk ...study the material atleast 3-4 times..

All the best..dont get dis-appointed for failing in exam.. this kind of thing always happen in life.. ..work hard .u will clear..always tell ur heart that "miles to go'...

Thanks a lot for the advice Sir. U really helped me boost my confidence and now i have a strategy to learn and clear cpt. Thanks a lot. You've been of a real help to me.
I'll study as per u said. I'll try to get those books u mentioned.

Well, i wanted to ask u something abt the question bank ICAI has provided. Is it enough if im thorough with the question bank ie if i know all the questions in the question bank, can i clear cpt?

Do i have to go through the study material text books for law and economics even if im sure of all the questions in the question bank?

Once again thanks a lot for the advice. I appreciate your quick response.
