Be positive. Just think about all the pain you have taken since years to reach upto this level. You cant be so weak that just because of your own weakness you are letting your every efforts to go in vain. Try to concentrate on your studies and go through those chapters first which you like the most. Then only start with the remaining chapters and subjects. Thats how you'll gain the confidence. Motivationis within you. You should just try to lighten up the fire inside you. All the best for your studies.

@ Angle...thanks for the link

Ashok...I believe that if you are not enjoying the process you are not on the right track...find out why its not the most interesting thing to you....The fact is that you are not approaching or looking at it correctly...I find that changing the circumstances I am in..the people I am in and giving myself alone time helps a lot...there are a lot of things that you can do...but every move of your should be aimed at getting the your own desired number of marks....

Finding solutions for problems like this is what makes life beautiful...

Direct Solution - Participate in any upcoming test series with all seriousness and you might see a way.

Also we have just one life...so enjoy and TAKE IT SERIOUSLY with a bit of humor.

Ashok ji it is quite natural that your going thru a tough phase in your life, like many other students face such problems may be in different form. You don't lose hope nor surrender your quest to perform well in exam. Identify the core areas which is leading to your discomfort or irritation and try to find a way out to come out of it. Best wishes for your future.

Ashok....

Be cool...Dont get tensed....tension doesn't solve any problems....Mere reading is not sufficient to go through...you have to do systematic revision...

U seem so tensed in 3rd attempts but the are thousands of ca students appearing for 13th attempt. Think of their psychology n war winning courage. They even have not surrendered for failure. Whydo you?

BOSS!! ... i went through this for a long lomg time... the only thing that seems to work for me is making short targets and revisiting them every week on its success,... mind you this was my 7th attempt.... fact is as the number of attempts increase, the importance you give the course REDUCES... which is definitely DANGEROUS! so to counter that... make a week long plan... stick to it as much as possible, do sit around the same time every day... possibly don't reduce the number of hours you do daily... may do more occasionally, but don't reduce the stated hours... its worked in building my confidence! ALL THE BEST!

another thing is that people who have either never been though this or have cleared CA will tell you not to worry as it is your third attempt only... but don't get carried away... its important to FOCUS... ALL THE BEST

During study period always focus on your stregnths because it will help you from study pressure & you will feel motivated

Hi Ashok,

I can understand its not easy to switchover from office to studies in 2 weeks time. It will take some more time for u to completely be in study zone. If u r studying at home than its not a good option. I would say that u should study at library or study in groups that will help to build concentration and discussing with friends will make u understand where u stand and how much to need to put in more efforts. See just hoping that u will be a CA its not right, u need u work smartly for ur dream, u also need to follow a strict time table without which it will be difficult for u to concentrate and clear. I may sound harsh but its the fact. Just take time to settle down, if u want go out for 1-2 days have a change so that u can be fresh and u come back with a bang and follow ur time table. I know lecture dena aasan hai, lekin nibhana utna hi muskil hai. Anyways All The Best....
