Yesterday my room mate got 92 in ISCA and I got 69.
Only way you can pass or get exemption in ISCA is to copy paste ICAI SM/PM. Depending upon your luck you might get more than you expected but its very rare.. If u write as per SM PM they can't cut your marks.

i had not left a single paaragraph of ISCA. Same for my friend. I studied everything 100% and wrote as per ICAI but couldn't replicate as per ICAI as its too tough to do so for me. My friend has an amazing storage capacity so he could do copy paste of SM.

This is a perfect example. We both wrote same thing. Only difference is he wrote exactly as per SM and I wrote around 50 - 60% of ICAI. But the points were same as per ICAI. And we have huge difference in marks.
So remember one thing. You wouldn't get marks for writing anything apart from ICAI SM.
1.Your points should be same as ICAI.
2. Your explanation should contain same sentence framing and key words as per ICAI..

If u can replicate same as per ICAI. You would get full marks. My friend expected 93 he got 92.
I couldn't replicate same language but had put key words as per ICAI.
Best of luck for your exams.

if u want exemption then u must go for sm only nothing else.. otherwise if u want to only pass in that then u can follow any other shortcut book or method..u can leave one chapter among 3 or 5 as both are very lengthy and can still get exemption...i have my friend who did that and got 68 marks provided u study from sm only
