To decide whether coaching for Auditing is required or not, in my view the following questions would provide help:

Do we know the way out, if we do not remember SA number or its title;
Are we able to answer the questions on professional ethics in a professional way or we just think that we have answered it correctly or we are not able to decide 'how' we have answered but are able to decide as to 'what' we have answered;
Do we know why despite being writing correct answers "from our end", we are not able to score even decent marks (luck being not considered here);
Do we know the hierarchy of answering the questions in examination so as to save time as well as go at least up to the benchmark;
Are we able to cover every SA at the revision day before the paper;
Do we know the approach of examiner while he checks the paper;
Lastly, are we able to make a suitable choice of words while answering the question (that is are able to present the correct answer or just we write the correct answer). Saying yes or no is easy, saying true or false is easy, but saying all this assertively requires an approach. Do we have that approach

If maximum of the above result in NO.....then in my view coaching is required.......I experienced it and concluded what I have written here...............

Dear Anupam,

In my view, coaching classes are very much required for Auditing and Law. Both are two great subjects, where the amount of interpretation required is very high. So i feel, coaching is required. We may be very confident with the sections and other things, but when it comes to interpretation, some fine tuning needs to be done. This will be done by some gud professors like Jayaraman Sir, etc

Dear Amit.....that does not mean that we should under mine theory subjects. Even these are 100 marks paper. I did the same mistake when I was student and realised that only after attending the classes

Hey Anupam,

I totally agree with u, but what my point is there are lots of concepts in practical subjects whch cnt be understand by student themselves n cramming will not do in practicals but to a extend can do in theory subjects jst like in auditing..

My time table for Coaching was: MWF (Morning): Accounts, TTS (Morning): IDT, MWF (Evening): DT, TTS (Evening): MAFA.

After these were completed, I joined evening batches for Costing & MICS and Morning batch for Law. Then I also attended one week class for Auditing. The whole coaching time spread was almost six months before the examination
