Preparation Tips for CA Inter Exams

To achieve a good CA Inter result, students must refer to ICAI resources such as:

1. ICAI Syllabus
2. ICAI Study Material
3. Previous year’s Question Paper with Suggested Answers
4. Mock Test Papers
5. Revision Test Papers
6. Sample Questions for 30:70 Assessment

By practising the previous year’s question paper and answering it in a similar format as the suggested answers, the student develops the skills to present the answers in the format expected by ICAI, which helps them to score marks. 

Points to be Remember:

1. Maintain a healthy routine by prioritizing timely meals and sufficient sleep, as they are essential for optimal body function.
2. Take regular breaks to maintain focus and productivity throughout your study sessions.
3. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, which refreshes both mind and body, and supports optimal brain function, reducing stress and anxiety.

Choosing between these two schedules depends on your personal preference and study habits. If you prefer a steady and manageable pace, opt for 6 hours/day for 60 days. If you can handle a more intensive schedule and want to leave time for revision, go for 8 hours/day for 45 days. Dedicate yourself to the plan, and you will be well-prepared for your exams.
