Preparation Tips for CA Intermediate 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 where you’re taking care of yourself. Eating and sleeping on time is extremely necessary because ultimately, your body is the engine, and sleep and food are its fuel. If it runs short on fuel, it won’t work. It will halt you from doing your best. 
2. While it's important to have a strict timetable, it’s equally necessary to take breaks at regular intervals. This will keep you focused for a longer time period.
3. Drink ample water. It freshens up your mind and body, plus drinking water balances the chemical processes in the brain, helping it work optimally and keeping stress and anxiety at bay.
