Did u appear in Group 1 too? 

why no one are talking of grp 1

1st group:

All papers was easy. I dont think any paper was out of the box or very hard.

2nd Group:

ys This time ISCA was out of the box paper. It was not usual paper. Those who attempted for first time might feel it was easy.

Costing was lenghty and hence i could attempt only 70 marks. but whatever i attempted was right.

DT and IDT were also good.

Result:

This time result will be good than the last attempt. last time both group passing percentage was 22%., so this time hope for the best.

even if DT was unexpected it was easy.

you will get marks for each item in PGBP sum. so dont worry.

Sachin- Don't believe what ICAI said about both groups last time, it wasn't 22%, the actual both groups results was a little higher than 9% and I can prove the same if someone shares the pdf showing list of candidates who passed either or both groups.

Abbasali- I would like to offer my insight on the Nov 17 exams this time for each paper individually as follows:

1. FR-  The paper was above average, fairly lengthy and a lot of candidates didn't finish it well.

2. SFM- The easiest paper, in fact in 2017 both terms they were directly out of pm and rtp only.

3. Audit- A different paper where they asked loads of questions from company audit and many small topics were totally absent. If someone had prepared standards, pe and company audit well they would have enjoyed this exam.

4. Law- A lot of conceptual and tricky questions, the most challenging paper in group 1.

5. AMA- The sheer size of question paper was an indication of how lengthy it was. Most candidates having normal speed could answer only 70-80 marks this time.

6, ISCA- Plenty of questions from sm and less from pm this time so another out of the box paper, very different one.

7. DT- There were a lot of confusion over most qeustions because they were from unknown areas...probably the most challenging paper in entire CA final exams this time.

8. IDT- Another paper where a lot of conceptual knowledge and understanding was tested, especially in questions on service tax.

Conclusion- I hope group 1 will be in double digits but doubtful about group 2 which as a whole was a much more challenging group this time. And for both groups I expect percentage to remain in single digits only.

law was a bit tuff , i enjoyed audit fr is a regular story
