I am failing becoz of lack of planning

I read somewhere that rankholders are basically good planners.Also somebody has said "Failing to plan is planning to fail."So basically planning in prep of ca exams is v imp.And i m facing the same problem.

I gave both groups of ca final in may 2012,it was my 2nd attempt nd i failed in both groups by 45 marks.Reason-I am not able to plan my prep well. It really feels so bad & frustating when we fail in exams just becoz of lack of good planning.

Friends i need ur help & request all of you to solve my problem.The problems which i am facing are as follows:-

(1) I want to give both groups as i feel i can do it.But becoz of thought of giving 8 exams together,I start running in my prep,running in the sense that i want to complete every subject very fast.

(2) BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH ME--------When i am studying audit,i wud be thinking abt SFM or LAW.While studying SFM,i am worried abt rest of d subjects that still m nt able to complete SFM,when will i do rest of the subjects.And then my mind comes under alot of pressure.

(3) I feel that i should study atleast 3-4 subjects daily but becoz of this way of studying ,those 3-4 subjects take a lot of my time ,their prep lingers on till the last few days before exams.I feel surprised when people say that they have completed 3-4 subjects becoz i have never been able to say that i have completed____subjects because i keep on studying them till the end.Since we have to do practice manuals,compilers,RTP's etc,so even a single subject never ends for me & obviously it affects prep time for other subjects also.

Eg:-nowadays I am doing AS from DS Rawat ,chps of Law & SA & some other chps of audit.Before this i prepared 4 chps of SFM & 6-7 imp chps of DT.

Now my prep of DT is lying in between.
I am afraid I would forget whatever i read in DT also.
I am feeling that AS,SA & other chps of audit are not going to end early.So when will i do COST,ISCA & IDT???I dont know how to allocate time?how not to be worried about the other subjects.

Friends this is how my prep goes,so haphazardly.All of you must be surprised that if i know the problem ,i must be aware of the solution too but this is where the problem lies-I literally dont know the solution...Most of my time is spent thinking how should i do it,whether i wud be able to complete all the subjects. etc etc.

So,i request all of you to please suggest me the remedy for my problem.I would be so very grateful to you.Please friends help me,this is the question of my career,my life...

U r mixing Stress with studies..Sorry to say u r not enjoying the subject ,rather getting bogged down by exam pressure...First ve plan to complete atleast 65% to 70% of syllabus. with appropriate revision...so syllabus settles down in ur permanent memory...if u think can finish both groups go for both else for 1

u ve not passed from past 2 attempts,don get irritated by ur peers succcess....u r different & ur world is different.don compare...

All i wanna say is don get it into pressure of passing...just prepare well,give ur best...

I too am in similar position exactly. Each word matches me. But stress dominating me more. I agree with deepak. Re think about wat u have done want to do. Mine is also third attempt now. I also not confident even in one subject till date. At times i feel mad thinking of wat i'm doing. Now i'm thinking of whetherun apply for exams or not this time.

-Every plan always has a scope of further improvement till the goals are achieved.

-After achieving the target, no one preserves his plans.

-Planning still goes on...... keeping in view the changed scenario.

-You have to forget the past failures as you have to go ahead. You can plan better.

-This time you have to enlarge the scope of planning by naming it Strategic Planning.

-You only need to do the best in at least two subjects. One from each group.

- Do not finally opt any.... in the beginning.....

-You may strategically change your stance as the Subjects progress. But, always keep the fact in your mind that the running subject may become one of the "strategic subjects" .

-Believe on your own strengths only. Luck favours the brave. Do not think about the potential threats. We cannot retain 100% and we cannot forget more than that. Just test your memory...how can you recall. The best way for it is to note down/ underline promptly the key words.

-Face the present topic of your Book cheerfully as if you are working in an older version of internet explorer or DOS base .... on a single Tab ........./and not in Google Chrome.

-Always compare ....what haven't been learnt by you earlier. Mark the new learnings.

- Practical Subjects require practice.....consume more time. Allocate time-slot since beginning of your journey.
