I'm currently in my articleship and have not been successful in Two CA Final Attempts. My office has just given me 1 month leave for CA Final 3rd Attempt. I was just needing some help in preparation schedule for May 2010
Iam also in the same position as Farzan and both grps are pending.Iam gving attempt for 2ng grp.and also i have to manage with 1 month leave..please...advice time table to follow from now..Days are reaching but no productivity..so tensed..PLZZZZZ HELPPPPPPPPP
1. Focus on important topics and make a strategy to complete them first. If you can successfully perform this task then it will give you lot of confidence.
2. Prepare a list of Exam oriented important chapters with the help of scanner and design your study schedule accordingly. The earlier you perform this exercise, the more time you will have to design your study schedule and prepare for the examination.
3. Prepare a list of frequently asked questions from scanner and design your ATLAS accordingly. Please find below “My ATLAS Method” as a ready reference (Already shared through my article). In your condition use the ATLAS in the last 4-5 days of your leave.
ATLAS STUDY METHOD:ATLAS STANDS FOR “AT LAST”. There are always some questions, formulas, Sections and case laws which we simply fail to recall in exam hall. According to this method if you find anything very difficult to remember then after preparing the same topic once or twice put it in the ATLAS. Keep putting difficult topics in ATLAS till exam date. There would be a different ATLAS for law, audit, accounts etc. Now 1.5 hour before leaving your home for examination hall open ATLAS question list and revise it properly or give it a special reading. Now if you find any question from ATLAS in the exam paper it would be very easy for you to answer as you specially revise it just 2-3 hours back and your confidence level will automatically increase in the beginning of exam.
Keep review your ATLAS list and modify it accordingly. If initially you put any question in ATLAS and now you are confident enough about that particular question you can remove that question from ATLAS. Don’t puteasy and non important questions in ATLAS as this concept is for revising extra-ordinary important questions just 2-3 hours before examination.
4. Decide your study time as per the available time. A 5-8 hour productive study would be enough. Remember, it is the quality and not the quantity of study that is required.
5. Remember study time management is very crucial.
6. First try and figure out ur mistakes (100% there) then promise yourself to remove them. Believe me there is nothing wrong with your preperation but U hv to do some homework to improve ur performance. Be confident and enhance your preperation.
Never waste your time and do not think about the number of attempts. Just take your time to prepare a plan and also give some time to yourself -- just to analyse yourself.
How can you use the time table prepare by anyone else? Prepare your time table yourself according to your capability and time.
better to go for first group, u r chance of getting through is high because u have to prepare only for 4 subject which is quit possible. i think having one month in hand. it possible to clear first group, i did in my 2 attempt in Nov 2009 where i got one month leave due 2 tax audits and now my article ship is over and iam going for second Group.
If u r comfortable with both group then only attempt for both otherwise go for one group. Make proper use of time each day toward study. Dont think about number of attempt. Each exam is fresh exam. Just learn from previous attempt and go with new path.
It is noted that Confidence is more imporant for exam. Maintain u'r confidence, It helps when the ques does not turn up in the exam but u answer positively by giving 100 %.
If you are going to attempt both group then divide your studies in practical n theory, Bcoz the time you are tired or having less concentration you can study practical paper. Also hav gud sleep dont think of doing 20Hr study as it will reduce your concentration. And as you had attempted CA Final already then you know the basic area of each subject.
Hav weekly plan it will help you to study in a month.
SO TIME TO START STUDIES WITHOUT TENSION.
ALL THE BEST
