	good afternoon friends, there are many people here in this caclubindia website who have passed their ipcc/pcc. friends i just wanted to know from you how much time is required for studying and revising both the groups .. i have attended 75% of the classes for all subjects. shall i study both groups or go for only single group? . NOTE ; I HAVE NOT YET STARTED PREPARATION. I SHOULD START NOW FROM EVERYTHING FRESH. im waiting for ur replies. thanks

> Since you have completed 75% of the classes, I would advise to go for both groups. 
.
> After attending classes, now you will be able to understand the basic concepts.
.
> You said that you have not started the preparations yet. But still both groups can be managed beacuse after completing your classes, the pace of covering the subjects will be much faster as compared to someone who is starting from point blank.
.
> Now its about applying your concepts and practicing the problems.
.
> Group 1: In accounts cover smaller topics first. For Law make your ethics portion strong (this way you can get exemption in law without much difficulty). In CAFM its all about practice and don't forget the theory as sometimes it becomes the deciding factor. In Tax, instead of solving more problems, be absolutely clear with the provisions first. 
.
> Group 2: In adv. accounts concentrate here more on AS. For audit, be clear with the SAs (half the battle will be won). For ITSM prefer study material (do cover the amendments in study material for May 2013 exams because you will be definitely getting a question from it in exam.)
.
> For the remaining 3 months follow a disciplined and honest approach. Make a suitable routine as per your lifestyle. Before going to sleep, briefly go through the topics you have covered in the day. All the Best. Believe in your abilities. You will be able to do it.

Vijay I am not a right person to give you the adivse. However, i still belive that if you are willing to do an "Extra ordinary effort" for your study process, then, i think you can write the both group. Where there is a will there is a way.

However, understand your strength and weakness first. Findout the area you have to improve a lot . Frame  a time table for your may 13 exam. wish you  all the best
