Thanks Roohi Ji for sharing your experience....
Approach to succeed in CA or CS !!!
Hello Friends,
1. If you delay the start of study for exam you will not gain any confidence. This is what we called is total wastage of time. So start the preparations as early as possible. Also decide whether to do self study or join coaching classes in the beginning itself.
2. Health is also very important in professional examinations. Consider your health as a subject. But as far as health is concerned I’d suggest you to chill with books. Books can be a good medicine or relaxation method like TV or sport. Believe me and try it……it’s all about programming of mind.
3. Kindly appreciate/observe the below mentioned points:
i.) Work hard and focus on conceptual clarity. Discuss the concept with your friends to ensure long time remembrance.
ii.) Don’t ask questions reflecting your low confidence or low commitment towards study and believe in yourself and your parent.
iii.) Make your own way to the top and think from your mind.
iv.) Improve your interaction skills.
v.) Improve your writing and presentation skills
4. Another important point is to stay away from unnecessary pressure. Just one failure and start getting frustrated is not what CA is all about!!!
Have patience and work hard and figure out your mistakes. Do not think that you are weak in a particular subject. Just focus on each and every subject. Prepare special strategy and prepare special short revision type notes.
Just focus on your goal and strive for the same…
Here for your kind information I would like to submit that Caclubindia is full of exam oriented notes and exam oriented suggestions and tips. For some good notes fully explore Caclubindia forum and share file section. You may also use search facility of Caclubindia to locate the desired file.
5. First understand it’s better late than never. Initial 7 or 8 months are very crucial and enough for a good start to your exam preparation but you have to work very hard to achieve your goal.
In the first round choose and work on certain most important topics which involve conceptual clarity. When you clear first round it will give you a great amount of confidence.
In the second round based your study on the Scanner questions. Finish your scanner as early as possible. Also refer previous exam suggested answer for presentation purpose. One more advice --- first focus on the subject which is not amongst your favorite subjects.
6. Be ready to experiment with your study style. First focus on the subjects you are not comfortable with and finish scanner for this particular subject as early as possible. Fully use your previous experience.
If you have less time to prepare go for selective study based on your previous experience.
After finishing the subjects mentioned above give a little bit time to the subjects you are comfortable and confident with. Here you have to take some risk by not giving too much time to the subjects you are comfortable with. Just believe in yourself.
7. HOW TO USE STUDY MATERIAL
Quick Reading Approach: First give ICAI study material a quick glance to understand the depth and figure out the efforts and time required for final preparation. You would appreciate that through this quick reading you would be able to figure out where extra efforts are required in the concerned subject and plan accordingly. Our main purpose behind this quick study is observation and formation of a plan to deal with audit.
8. Along with study it is also essential to give some relaxation to your mind. Spend some quality time with your family and friends. Don’t consider this as waste of time coz you are preparing yourself for a huge battle. So just relax and chill out….
With Warm Regards,
