Accounting 1
1. Partnership A/c (Easy and You already know about this - Estimate 16 marks 1 Question)
2. AS (Easy in G1 and will surely fetch 20 Marks in Exam)
3. Internal Reconstruction and Amalgamation (At least 1 Que. will be in Exam - Estimate 16 Marks)
4. NPO and Single Entry (You already know about these chapters and are imp. for exams)
5. Hire Purchase (Estimate 8-14 marks - 1or 2 que.)
6. You can give less attention to Investment Acc. , Co. Final A/c and so on.(asked in exams but generally have low weightage).
Law -
1. Prepare Case Studies Very Well (as it seems that ICAI has changed its pattern for Law Exam)
2. Must Prepare Deeds, Notices, etc. (Communication Part - Easy and will be in Exams)
3. Prepare Well for Bonus Act, Provident Fund, Gratutiy Act (Most Easy Chapters and 12-15 Marks)
4. Indian Contract Act - only CPT part (can give you 6-8 Marks)
5. Company Law - Intro (Most Easy), Conversion Pvt to public and vice versa (V.Imp), MOA and AOA, Share Capital (Most Imp Ch., cant go for exam without this chapter), Prospectus (Technical but Imp.), Gen. Meeting (Most favourite Ch. for Case Studies)
6. Do not forget to prepare best for Ethics & Comm. (I called them Bonus Marks)
7. Negotiable Instrument is also imp. for exams (Estimate 8-10 Marks - I named it last as it is very technical ch. as compared to other mentioned above)
8. For Law it's Most Imp. to Cover Complete ICAI Module - 2.
Cost Accounting -
1. Process Costing (Till now it was seen in all attempts except 1)
2. Overheads (Imp. for Exams, I have strong feeling that it can be asked in Nov. 2013)
3. Material Costing, Labour Costing (Easy Chapters and can give you 8-14 marks)
4. Marginal Costing (V. Imp.)
Financial Management -
1. Capital Budgeting and Working Capital Management (I think CAFM exam is incomplete without these chapters, dont leave these chapters)
2. Leverage (Easy and high chances in exam for 4-8 marks)
3. For CAFM, my advise is to prepare theory well as you have good time in hand (Estimate 32 Marks)
Taxation -
1. Prepare ST and VAT ver well (Again I called them Bonus Marks) 50 Marks for free.
2. In Income Tax, you can't focus on any single topics each and every topic has relevance,
3. In Income Tax, you can ignore some chapters like TDS, Adv. payment of Tax, Charitable Trust, Agriculture Income, Return of Income because they have very low weightage in Exam. But it is equally true that these chapters will take very less time during preparation.
Overall Viewpoint - Give more time to above mentioned points but do not ignore other part also because in CA Exams everything is relevant nothing is irrelevant.
Note : Remember ICAI exams have very high standard covering all the conepts, chapters not mentioned above will also be in exam (no doubt about that) but there weightage are seen generally low as compared to chapters mentioned above.
