Best Wshs My Dear Frnds .

NOW SUBJECT WISE

:-

1. ACCOUNTS
If u have a good base of 11th nd 12th std then CPT Accounts wont bother u too much.just stick to the
basics because most questions come from the most simple points which sometimes we ignore.again
Accounts is the main subject for a C.A.so if u want to do well at higher levels of the course you should
make your base from here onwardsas i mentioned earlier also plz dont go for just multiple choice
questions..solve the most complex questions too nd dont ignore the theory part
2. BUSINESS LAW
This is a new subject for you peoplend as i said CPT is the basetry to grab the concept because
many questions in the exam wont be directly from the bookyou will have to apply your common sense
nd u wil be able to answer correctly only if you have the correct concept in mind and trust me this will help
a lot at IPCC level
3.MICRO ECONOMICSIf you are thorough with 12th std ecou wont have any problem in micro partits easy but conceptual
dont try to learn itjust keep the concept and the answer will automatically come to your mind by just
applying some common senseu can keep the concept of graphs in mind and create your own
answers
4.MATHS AND STATISTICSMany students tend to leave these 50 marks totally bcoz they form an idea that they wont be able to solve
it from the initial stage,,,plz dont do thatyou are leaving easy 20-30 marks on offer.

Basic idea of maths is very important to be a C.A..thats why we see students from Science stream clear
CA before the students from Commerce backgroundso if u are leaving this subject completely u are
digging ur own grave,.
In Maths nd Statistics u can easily fetch 20-30 marks coz many topics are very easy..just a sharp brain
and basic knowledge of 10th level maths will be sufficient u can leave the complex things like calculus
nd series if you are not good at maths,,(no need to solve the tough questions from the study material coz
u wont get questions of that level from these topics).last few chapters in statistics can be left if u are
short of timeu wont lose more than 1-2 marks
5. MACRO ECONOMICSMacro part is complete theory nd u will have to learn it somehow(ratta mar lo aur koi chara nahi hai..)
Its boring but 25 marks come from there.just learn it somehow.nothing can be done about it..learn
the dates even coz u get questions from there tooscanner will be very helpful.dont learn data of each
and every year given..LEARN ONLY THE LATEST DATA AVAILABLE
Lastly go for a scanner for all subjects (suchitra prakashan is the best).u will get a fair idea of
importance of each chapter in the exams.
AT THE EXAM HALL :the outcome of all your hard work depends on how well you utilise your 4 hours in the exam hallplease
reach the exam hall on time and be equipped with all the required materiallast minute hustle-bustle can
have an adverse impact on your preparations.utilize each and every minute given to youtry to solve
easy ones firstdont waste time if u are not able to solve any questiongo ahead further nd come back
to all questions you have left when you have finished the easy onesthis will give you confidence ..
PLEASE DONT TRY TO MATCH YOUR ANSWERS WITH YOUR NEIGHBOURS..its a crime nd if caught
your dream of becoming a CA will be finished then and thereand even if you are not caught you might
end up cancelling your correct answer and copying the wrong one from your neighbour(EXAM HALL
ME KOI KISI KA FRIEND NAHI HOTA..SO DONT TRUST ANYONE)have confidence on yourselfbe
calmits a professional exam..you are bound to get trick questionsbe focussed and dont get
nervous.
