Passed CA G-1 in 2.5 months

I was/am an IIM aspirant. I didn't prepare for CA finals in november 2014 (my attempt), instead appeared for CAT 2014. I got good percentile in CAT 2014 but lost in IIM Interviews. My last interview was on 12th Feb, totally depressed I purchased books of CA G-1, filled the examination form and started studying. According to me, CA (G-1) is easier than CAT. Audit is of IPCC level (40 tho), SFM is full of basic knowledge, Law is simple theory and Accounts is a little complicated. 
 

Just Bought books of G-2. I know that if we desire anything so much, then that very thing can be us, in every bit of us. I don't need to love the subjects, neither I do because my dream is something else. I just need to get it, absorb it and let it be a part of me. 
 

Those who failed, should pick up insititute study material and Practice manuals. Drop all the other books. Only ICAI material (I did the same). So next time, let ourselves be CA together :)

 

P.S. - I live a very simple life with very less active online social presence, facebook, etc., simple diet, 5 hour sleep and minimal exposure to energy draining sources like digital screens. It was an abstinence which has now become a habit. So, I had and still have more than enough time per day at my disposal...

Thank you Mr. Labhesh. 

 

For Law, I did skim the study mat but did whole practice manual, just basics, didn't learn the sections, cases etc. 

 

For Audit, SAs I didn't read as I didn't have much time. I went through the IPCC material for SAs. Rest completed practice manual and skipped study mat (as audit is never ending with many cases and possibilities)

 

For DT, I completed it from Study material and subsequently from practice manual (28 days). Picked up last 2 attempts paper and they are doable. I am down to very basics; capital gains, profits and gains from business and profession, deductions, salary, etc. are IPCC level with some extra common sense and complexity. Assessment and appeals need practice. Overall better than any other books I have skimmed.

 

IDT, in progress, from Study Material and subsequently from practice manual. Still here, I am down to very basics, I just know the very basic provisions combined with common sense. I skimmed Bangur's book and it is good also but I feel security while studying study mat that nothing is skipped. 

 

Study mat requires time. I am not planning to score big like 70-80 so I don't need to go in depth and find the diamonds. I am just doing to the extent of what I feel would be sufficient to get through it.

mr. chiranjiv can u please tell me how u did FR means self study with sm & PM of icai or with anything else . and how much time it required to complete FR according to u 

I m thinking to study from Fr video classes which is available to me but its required very big amount of time .

thank you

I did only practice manual (no Study mat) and nearly 46 marks worth of questions (24 marks ditto figures and 22 marks same questions with figures changed; not so sure tho) were from practice manual. 

 

I skipped Holding Company accounts. (there is a choice between amalgamation and holding and so amalagamtion one is the same as of IPCC and so doable, holding is a disaster to complete in short period of time).

 

Time required - 240 Hours (taken as 8 hour a day for 30 days approx.)

Thanks, It is so sad to hear that you failed. I suggest that you get your answer sheets from ICAI. Sometimes, our concept from the initial period is wrong. Also, concentrate on practice manual this time. Refer this for schedule - /articles/96-days-syllabus-coverage-schedule-for-ca-final-students-26035.asp

U said u bought G2 BOOKS whereas in the other article u mentioned u have referred the PDF's downloading it into ur device...lol
