Hi Friends,

I am currently preparing for my November 2012 Final attempt. I have got 3 months leave starting August 1. This leaves me around 90 days for preparations for both the groups which means approx 11 days per subject.

I have started with my Group II studies, and have started with Costing and ISCA simultaniously. I do ISCA in the morning and Costing once I am tired of doing ISCA (always after lunch when i feel sleepy )

So far in 9 days i could not study for 1 day due to a family problem. In remaining 8 days I have covered OR completely and 2 topics of ISCA. This is a very slow rate than i expected to cover the topics. This has left me worried as I am not sure how i will cover up the entire portion in this 90 days ..The most tinme consuming activity for me was solving all the sums in OR.. i solved each and every problem which took lot of time. I am not comfortable with just reading thru problems and solutions..this has also affected the portion i wanted to cover for ISCA.

Can someone please help me as to how i should approach this exam and am I doing the right thing in solving all problems? I am afraid this will also happen with Accts and FM. I have a timetable but currently i am finding it extremly difficult to adhere to it as things are always overflowing on other topics. Typically i study for 10 Hours a day currently with 70% for costing and 30% for ISCA. Once i finish these topics i plan to move on to next two subjects...

Please help...

Dont get into calculaitons and waste your time you simply prepare the list to be completed and work on them by giving appropriate weightage, you can do it.

my dear friend

dont try to solve all problems, u have to be strong in concepts, even if u splve 1000 problems, the one that is asked in tne exam will be 1001 type, do if u r strong in concepts u will be able to solve all problems.

all the best

What is the most easy thing...

Answer:Give up... even the 1st Rankholder said in his interview that during last three month of his preparation he felt like giving up...so consoildate urself stop asking question and waiting for someone to guide..

Utilize every minute you got...:)

Words may seem harsh but ultimately no one will come and help u personally so stop looking start working...

All the best and 3 months are not at all less for clearing finals

DEAR FRND ,....PRACTICAL SUBJECTS ALWAYS GO BY THE CONCEPT,..EVEN THOUGH U PRACTICE 100 SUMS U ALWAYS GET A NEW QSTION IN THE EXAM,,.ITS ONLY IF UR STRONG IN THE CONCEPT U CAN ATTMEPT ANY KIND OF SUM,...UR HABIT OF PRACTICING SUMS IS VERY GOOD APPROACH,.

TIME SCARCITY IS ALWAYS THERE FOR A CA STUDENT,....BUT PLAN UR STUDY TIME TABLE,..ALLOCATE MORE TIME FOR SUBJECTS UR WEAK AT OR WHICH CAUSE U NIGHT MARES,..REGARDING BOOKS I DNT HAVE TO COMMENT,.WATEVER BOOK U FOLLOW GO BY IT,DO NOT SHUFFLE BOOKS JUZ BECAUSE UR FRND SAYS THAT THAT BOOK IS GOOD OR SOMEONE HAS PASSED READING THAT BOOK,.IF U HAVE STRTED TO FOLLOW A AUTHOR,TRUST THAT BOOK,READ THAT BOOK,..

GO THROUGH INSTITUTE SCANNERS,ITS A MUST,..IT WIL GIVE U CONFIDENCE IN SOLVING THE PROBLMS WITH A BIT OF MENATAL PEACE AND EASE...REGARDING ISCA I ALWAYS SUGGEST INSTITUTE MODULE EVEN THOUGH THE LANGUAGE IS TOUGH,IT IS WORTH IT,.DONT GO FOR OTHER PRIVATE SIMPLIFIED BOOKS,..THAT SUBJECT IS A DRY SUBJECT,SO JUST READ THE ENTIRE ICAI MODULE THOROUGHLY,..READ IT REPEATEDLY TO GET INTO UR MIND FOR A LONG TIME,.

PERSONAL PROBLMS,.....EVRYONE HAS IT,...JUST PRAY TO GOD TO CLEAR SUCH DISTRACTIONS,..CONCNTRATE,..DO A BIT OF PHYSICAL EXERCISE,.TK PROPER FOOD,..3 MNTHS IS ALL THAT IS REQUIRED TO PASS MY DEAR,....EVERY CA HAS MADE IT ONLY DURING SUCH 3 MNTH....SO

ALL D VERY BEST!!!GOD BLESS U,..
