Need advice on whether to appear in november (ca final)

Final 1044 views 4 replies

Guys I am Partha Sharma from Delhi.This is my first post so please bear with me. I'm in a dilemma which I need your opinion on. Here it is:

I joined CA in 2008 right after my high school completion, cleared CPT in first attempt with 166 marks, but after that everything went downhill. My first attempt of PCC was in May 2010 which I failed, I gave each and every attempt since then and finally in May 2012, i.e. FIFTH try I cleared both groups of PCC. Now I'm in CA FINAL.

 

Having completed my articleship during this period, I'm eligible to give November attempt of CA Final. 

 

My dilemma is that should I give this attempt or should I play it safe and wait for May2013. 

 

I am very disappointed by myself that I have wasted 2 years of my life in nothing. My friends who had started CA with me have now become CA's and are getting through with their GMCS. One friend even took the November 2011 attempt and cleared both groups, she is now working and earning a good salary. I am very hurt due to all this and want to clear CA as soon as possible.

 

But Then only three months are left with me and I have 4 subjects to tackle (I'm giving only first group). That leaves me with less than 25 days per subject. I do not want to face failure again. Even my Sir under whom I had done my articleship suggested me to wait and give May2013 attempt only. As per him, my chances of passing are very low and failure reduces the morale very much.

 

So, as you can see, I'm caught in between. My heart says to go for First group of Final in November 2012 itself but the minds says to wait for May2013. I want your advice on how do you assess my situation. 

Is cracking First group of CA Final with 3 months study even possible? Should I go for it? If yes, then how do I go about it? Taking classes is out of the question, I'll have to rely on DVD's and class notes and other self study material.

 

Should I take the risk?

Partha donot take unnecessary tensions regarding your friends and their development. No one know what will happen tommorow. You are destined for this so you have to bear this and you may be destined for fast growth in future. Who knows... Failures certainly depresses you but Life moves on. Despite your negative thoughts, fears and tensions you gave all 5 attempts with hard work and you cleared it finally.

So, Slowly you will forget all those night mares you experienced during PCC levels.

Regarding Final exam truly speaking... If you have taken classes then there is good chances of clearing it else the chances is very low. Donot run in hurry. Take time to make plans for your final because final level is not a piece of cake. Make your compelte schedule and give ample time to study as your training period has already completed. My suggestion is go for May 2013 for both groups with confident preparation and you will certainly clear it.

I want to tell you one thing that donot think that it took 5 attempts to clear PCC and many attempts make take to clear FINAL. No one knows future.

Best of Luck for FINAL.

Only sit in exam with complete preperation so tha tyou can crack in same sitting.

Thank you..!!

In my Opinion you should first of all complete all your tuitions (if any) in well manner. Once you complete all your tuitions, then only you should appear. And so far as you are concerned about your friends becoming CA, you shouldn't be worried at all. Just Chill. Take your own time to complete the Syllabus. Because at the end, it is you who have to clear the exam and become CA and no one else.

Guys the thing is I'm sick and tired of being an underachiever. Ever since PCC I've just been into a downwards spiral. Now I want to recover from that and show my colleagues that I can do something too. I have just one question in mind, if I get DVD's for practical and good books and notes for theory subjects, is it IMPOSSIBLE to crack FINAL 1st group in 3 months preparation? I am ready to devote myself and give 15-16 hours of study time per day if it can get me through.

What do you guys think?

Without DVD's you can surely study. If you are ready to devote the maximum time then you can go for 1st group. But Just look at the chapters. For Example:

Accounts: maximum time is occupied by for holding& subsy, Acc std

SFM: maximum time is occupied : Future and options ( Little complex)

Audit and Law you can go it easily.

 

If you are mentally ready then go for it.

 

One thing Partha, Donot feel of being underachiever. It is just a test of your patience.

Padne ke time main Books kain contents ko yaad karo naki Dosto kain bareme then only it will be fruitful.

Sare duniya ko bhul jao. Sirf ye samajlo ki Tum hi akele Final ki preperation kaar rahi ho and no one else.
