Re-start CA Final after 8 year gap

Hi Friends,

Can any of you help me to reach a decision on whether I should re start CA final where I have stopped study in 2012 and now at the age of 34 is it worthwhile to pursue CA final or should I consider some other pathways for my career growth . Please comment

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the viability of restarting the CA Final exams after an eight-year hiatus, with the original poster being 34 years old. Fellow members share their experiences and offer encouragement, with some also seeking advice on study materials for the first group. Recommendations include ICAI materials, Paduka books, and specific authors for subjects like Accounts, Law, Audit, and Costing, while also noting the potential length of some resources.

If you still have better knowledge of commerce , and dedication to clear final , and have an willpower to do CA . bro go for it

I think padhuka books plus institute materials are enough
What about viyakumar for accounts and munish bandari for law?
Yeah that's the most advice books for those 2 papers but I think MPV's book is lengthy and no need to study that much to clear exam. Munish bandary's law also the same
FR ICAI SM PM
SFM ICAI SM PM
Audit Pankaj Garg/Aarti Lahoti and PM
Law Munish Bhandari
Costing any faculty of choice plus PM
