Hi, I am Vipul Vaibhav from Rourkela, Odisha (though native to Bihar). I am a chartered accountant from Rourkela. Earlier I was interested in Government jobs, Banking and SSC CGL were on top of my list after b com. They don’t need much intensive hard work compared to Chartered accountancy exams. All you need is smart work. I started my preparation from March 1st week after filling ICAI exam forms with a target of clearing exam in first go. Though I would at times think that it would be very difficult as the tentative date of exams was on 2nd May. But I tried to calm myself, as my basics were clear, and I just needed to improve my speed and accuracy. And finally, I qualified ca exams.
CA final Exams
Group 1 = 241
Group 2 = 217
Coming to My Preparation Strategy.
1) CA Final 1st Group:
My FR exam was on 2nd may. From the very first day, I started with giving 1 mock tests of catestseries in the morning. The rest of the whole day, I would analyze my performance and solve the leftover questions of the mock papers throughout the day. In this way, I would do a total of 20-25 questions a day. And that is what you need for ca final financial reporting exam.
After 10 days maybe, I was able to figure out my strong and weak points in all the topics. Very less time was left in my hand, so I just selected those topics in which I was good or average and made a calculation that by doing all these I will be able to secure exemption.
During ca test series mock tests, I would always attempt these parts only and would secure somewhere between 18-25 during my final stages of preparation depending upon the toughness of mock test.
And by the end, I gave almost 8-9 mocks. In this way, finally, I went for the first group ca final exams. My tip to future CA aspirants is that work smart as you are not supposed to solve 100/100. Just make sure that you are 100% prepared for 75% of the questions in exam. And mock papers of ca online test series will motivate you by providing you rank
2) Group 2 CA Final Exams:
The biggest challenge for me was to shift my level up for all, viz, AMA, ISCA, DT and IDT. I chose the same strategy and started giving 1 mock daily. But I did a blunder and which I realized later that ISCA can’t be prepared like that, one must essentially study capsules and ICAI practice manual resources which I missed. Though I tried to make it up in last 4-5 days by reading summary material but couldn’t make it. So finally, I ended up scoring 44 in ISCA.
Fortunately, by giving almost 7 mocks papers of catestseries, I was used to handling shocks and it helped me during my mains exam. I didn’t panic when I saw that exam paper was tougher than what I expected.
My tip to 2nd group ca final would be to focus on Indirect tax laws as it’s easy to score but do not neglect amendments.
Most Essential: CA TEST SERIES
In all, as you have noticed that the only thing I did was practicing and giving mocks. And CA test series helped me a lot in that by providing best quality test series with no errors and hence most reliable. They provide the test a bit tougher than the actual exam so that you can handle shocks as ca final icai exams is popular for giving that.
Thank you!
All the best to all the aspirants!
