The book you are following is an excellent book Shefali. I was greatly benefited by his book. It helped me to clear many doubts I had on this subject. I strongly suggest you stick to this book. There are ample practical problems there. You should also refer to scanner for problems and theory alike. Don't get confused. You are on the right track!

Dear Shefali,

Please don't ignore the study material of ICAI.Refer the same for topics of theory.

Secondly book you are following is excellent book.

If you wish to refer some another book then please solve the problems from the notes of Makkar's classes. These notes are sufficient for theory concept as well as for practical problems.

Solution for the problems mentioned in these notes is also available. You can get the same from Delhi.

I too attended a tuition class where the sir used Pattabhi sir's book and to be honest, i did not use the study material for the practical problems part. I just used it for the theory part.

If you have exhausted Pattabhi sir's book, then just try working out some problems given in the study material. There have been cases where problems for the exam have been lifted straight out of the study material, and in case that happens for your exam, you dont want to lose out on that.

One final tip for Problem papers like Accounts and MAFA: No matter how many different kind of problems you work out, there can be a new kind of twist awaiting you in the exam hall. So, be thorough on the basics, and just get a grip on the general approach we need to adopt to tackle different kind of problems. The rest is all left to us at the time of writing the exam.

All the best.

1. Never ignore Modules

2. For MAFA old Book (problems and solutions) by Shridhar is best.

3. Dont leave any chapters in option it will cost badly having regard to the fact that paper of MAFA is not predictable.

Hi,

Pattabhi Sir book is out of bounds ,I cant follow.I am following Saravan Prasath Sir s book and suggested.

I too can advise people not to join Prime as it is too crowded and un hygiene and difficult to concentrate on the class.

I had studied James Van C Horne book for MAFA but not done any practicals....Also that book was not so much clearer to me....I had also tried Makkar but leave it after 3 days as the concepts there were totally unambiguous....Can u guys help me out whether an additional 60-70 hours would be sufficient for pattabhi in addition to above book... During revision, i would refer to the practice modules of ICAI for MAFA for 5 days.... So , guys pl guide me for MAFA books as regards pattabhi size or something else Regards, Maneesh
