Prepartion time for cpt for a science b/g student

I think 6 months are enough for CPT preperations. In my opinion, you should prepare for CPT December 2012 and appear for CS Foundation in June 2013 .

In my opinion 6 months is enough for CPT Exams. So you can write CPT Exam in Dec 12

6 months are more than enough.. Go for ur atempt in Dec. Even i am from science background and i cleared Cpt in Dec. 2011...first trial that too in 3 months preparation... See, if u are a science student then Maths is not at all a problem, u just have to focus on Accounts and Law , also Eco. can be dealt easily... Just keep in mind that in last month i.e November finish off the Model test papers ..and u can easily get through..

Just 2 weeks enough..and prepared atleast daily 15 hours..k best of luck...

Normal Study upto 1 month is enough

6 months?

Mate, I had a Science background as well. I initially planned to study medicine, but then after a complex series of thoughts, I switched to Commerce. And then thought to myself, what better than Chartered Accountancy?

I started preparing for CPT in April, without coaching, and sat for the June examinations.

I scored a 160. Attempted 170.

And. I was a Biology student, so I didn't know much about Mathematics either.

My strategy. I left out Quantitative Aptitude altogether. Only studied a bit for it.

Pay the most amount of attention in Accounts, then Economics and then finally Law.
But remember Law is often the highest-scoring subject, followed by Accounts then Economics.

For Accounts, I used P.C. Tulsian + ICAI Module.
For Economics, I used Padhuka + ICAI Module.
For Law, I used Padhuka + ICAI Module.

And remember. You MUST go through the Scanner and Model Test Papers at least twice before you sit for the exams. The question paper is often repetitive(think of it, that is why they don't let you take away the examination paper :P)

Practice more, study less. That's about it. Study through the mistakes you make when you're practicing.

 

I'm sure you'll be able to do it. It's not as hard as people make it out to be. Sure it requires a decent amount of effort, but the examination's not god-like. The passing rates are also quite high. Around 35% of the students sitting for CPT pass it.

 

So quit worrying, and start studying. You'll be on your way to IPCC in no time.

 

Good luck.

Thanks a million guys..Great confidence booster.. :) Great job..

 

Hey, I too was from Science background and I cleared CPT in december 2011...

I actually believe its more easier for science student to crack CPT then commerce..

Because I had answerd lots of Engineering entrances and also managed to crack AIEEE

Only thing is that you should not get overconfident by looking at very few thin books

Because I did become little bit over confident and prepared only last month and it easily ceared CPT.

In month of July I asked my first forum here, so I was not  clear till so late whether I should leave engineering college or go for CA heres the link of my first forum, /forum/my-first-question-154657.asp, in the month of september I recieved my books, when there were only 3 months, so u have sufficent time ang go for it

people on this site are very helpful, if it was not for them I wouldnt have cleared

Also another suggestion is use P.C tulsian for accounts(to know the basics) and for rest three just use Institute moudules

 

Once again, DO NOT GET OVERCONFIDENT.

Good Luck

Hi Priya!

Attempting the december exam would be easy provided you put in regular efforts. For all subjects refer the m,odule first and get NCERT books for accountancy if you want more conceptual clarity. And for practice all the questions given in the module sholud be enough. :) If you get your concepts going strong you wont any problem ahead. Good luck. Cheers. :)

Science students must study all basics of accounting bcoz even if they pass cpt they face problems in ipcc. I'm a science student with just 2 months of coaching & guess what ? I passed cpt in first attempt oh yeah !!!! On results day, though results are expected around 2pm, my friend called me @ 1pm & said results are out & that he failed . I got frightened as my friend, a commerce student failed then what about a science student like me? Moreover I attempted all 200 questions (something risky) and it made me doubt myself. As I opened my Gmail app, there's an email from ICAI&NIC. OMG even when I'm too close with my girlfriend my heartbeat was not so high, fast & heavy. Before result I thought if i failed, my self-respect in family members will be gone but I'm glad I didn't let that happen. There in the email, I saw a line "YOUR MARKS :143" Wow I passed with distinction !!!!! The number 143 itself is something special & memorable. In surprise I jumped in air. My mother was more happy than me.Even though I'm a 18 year old boy, she hugged and kissed me. As my father was out of station I informed him over phone. My Facebook friends(girls) in Philippines & Riyadh congratuled me (this i felt special & unique). My accounts faculty sir was surprised by my result. Even during classes, he used to call me Mr.Sci-Com as I changed from science background to commerce. I became best friends with commerce students in 2 months short time but I felt sad bcoz they all failed. CA is such a course even seniors become juniors and juniors become seniors. I feel that IIT coaching in my junior college helped me because both IIT & CPT are objective type.And I'm MERUGU SAI CHARAN from HYDERABAD TELANGANA

Frnds can I know to which topics I shld concentrate in accounts and economics I'm from science background and shld clear in Dec so
