Guys I am planning on giving my CS executive exams in dec 2012. I am the moment working and have absolutely no clue as to how to go about studying for it. So I need to prepare a strategy and I hope some of you can help me with it. I have some questions regarding the preparation part:

1. Is the study material given by the CS institute enough for preparation?

2. Should I join a coaching class? This would be impossible as I am working. Or can I buy correspondence material from any coaching classes?

3. If study material given by the institute is not enough what other books/ material do I need?

4. What exactly is a "scanner"?

5. Does going through previous year's question papers help? I mean do questions repeat themselves?

6. How many hours a day should you study?

7. Is there a lot of memorizing to be done, for example remembering sections, dates, figures, etc... or it a logical based paper?

8. Are there many problems based on accounting and taxation? Can these be studied via self study or is coaching required?

 

Thanks these are the questions I have. Would really appreciate if someone could answer them. Thanks
