Guidance for preparing G-I CA Final

please dont dream about it. leave ca.

If you've taken off from work and studying full time, it should take you about 2 months of dedicated study. The course seems vast when you do initially look at it, but as you get down to it and analyse the papers, there's a trend to it and you need to strategize keeping in mind that trend. 

Accounts - You need to practise this bit by bit daily, be VERY strong with accounting standards, they'll help you in audit too. Amalgamation and Consolidation are sure shot 16 mark questions each, keep practising 2-3 problems everyday so that you don't get out of sync. The rest of the topics, just do it from the module, will hardly take you 2-3 days. VERY scoring. 

SFM - Practise! Pick up any teacher's notes or a good book, make sure it has the 10 year questions. Just to be sure, go through the ten years and do ALL the problems, am stressing on ALL because I just gave SFM and they have a knack for repeating past years questions.  Rajesh Makkar notes / AN Sridhar book would be a good option, if you give it proper amount of hours, this can be done in say 20 days. 

Audit - I have no idea! Just do Surbhi Bansal or VK Aggarwal, go through the past year's questions. Make sure you do professional ethics VERY well. There are a number of small topics from which 4-5 markers come like cost audit, these topics are small and questions are direct. Do accounting and auditing standards very well, include auditing standards in your answers everywhere. 

Law- Just one and ONLY one reference- Munish Bhandari Handbook! Pick it up and keep reading it like a novel, underline the important points, go through all the questions, by the end of it you'll realize you don't need to rote learn the sections, you'll just have understood them . Do not look beyond this book, it's amazing!
