Help from those who passed exams in november 2011

Dear esteemed members of CAclubindia, the results of November 2011 has been declared and many emerged as winners and many more couldnt win. For those who had cleared, I think you would be busy in your careers. Good Luck for it. Coming to the point, one of my close relative had written his CA Final exams for the third time and have flunked. he had completed PCC in his third attempt and had completed his articleship on July 2010 and is unemployed till date(the job offers he is getting is not worth mentioning) and also is struggling to pass finals and had exhausted 3 attempts till now. He is now determined to pass both groups (8 subjects) in May 2012 in a single go. Also, his financial position is very bad that there is lots of pressure for him to pass this May but he doesnt no how to do it .i.e what strategy to follow to impress the examiner and succeed. For those who had cleared this November 2011especially those with ranks and high marks, kindly please share the strategy which you had followed in that particular subject to score 60+ in each subject and the combination of books u had used so as to complete the syllabus in a less span of time. Still there are around 100 days for the next exam. This would be of immense use to not only my relative but to all those who are preparing for May 2012 exams and who are desperate to clear this time. Thanks in advance. With REgards
