Dear Bharadwaj & other CA final Aspirants,
Im no expert in physcology, neither am i an expert teacher. Im was also just a student like you, who cleared CA with some great guidance from some superb people. Im just sharing the same guidance with you.(PS: i never cleared any exam of CA in first attempt, it took 3 for both PCC & Final)
Whenever we fail any exam, we get dejected. The strong person will never feel bad continously about himself. You may feel remorse for 1/2 days, but if you dont get over it, then you will lose your confidence and never clear. Im not asking you to forget what happened, but make it a decision to never repeat it. Also during your 3 months of study (Result date to next exam), you will get various oppurtunities to get distracted, that time remember your results and take the correct decision. Also dont feel bad that you gave so many attempts and your friends are already CA, because after you become one, nobody asks how many attempts.
Also 1 very big advice is, if you fail, then change your study pattern, because there something wrong you did and thats the reason why you not cleared. There is no point in repeating the mistakes you did and then saying that im did not clear. Obviously you will not clear because you are doing the wrong thing again and again.
So my advice to you would be to change your study material, not only some books, but all the books. Even if the portion has not changed, change the books. When we have already studied from some book and failed, we dont read the complete book again. We skip over stuff, and thats the worst thing we can do. So buying completely new study material helps , as everypage we study from it will be new, so therefore we will know what we actually studied this time and what not.
Secondly since you have already give the exam,i advice you to study for 2months and 10 days and the last 20 days, write practice papers at home. It doesnt matter even if you can and have the patience, u can read one chapter and write questions of that chapter. and then finally write the entire paper all chapters. But writing papers is so important that i cannot stress enough.
Im sure that you will take my advice in good sense and then give your papers once again with a new found zeal and enthusiasm. As they use to say in our time:
