Is ca final exam tougher than ias or cat exam?

No, CA is not getting tougher... nor getting any easy but the pattern in which they ask question has hcanged a lot.

Yes its true to focus if your paper goes bad but its upto you whehter you want bright future by continuisoulsy focusing or by leaving...

Regarding the SFM paper we have to note that not even a single question has been asked from out of the topic and the question was not that tough that you cannot get 45 and above. the students say tough because ICAI didnot asked any similar question that the students practice in the book but all it was concept. In my view it was the good paper.

In overall may 2012 paper was far better thatn nov 2011 in terms of quality..

CA IS NOT TOUGH. JUST A PROPER APPROACH IS REQUIRED TO COMPEPLETE IT.

Thank you..

agree with ayesha SFM was really bad as experinced all all students and i feel giving 8 papers is toughest  task and to make work easy we can break into each group and clear and have a chance to clear !
