Step-by-Step CA Final One-Month Preparation Plan

✔ Decide: Single Group or Both Groups

• Assess your current preparation level honestly.

• If you're fully prepared for both groups, go ahead.

• If not, focus on one group thoroughly and attempt the other in the next attempt. A strategic delay is better than a failed attempt.

✔ Make a Practical Timetable

• Avoid day-wise plans, instead allocate hours to each topic daily.

• Keep the last 3 days for revision before the first exam.

• Cover at least 2–3 subjects per day, mixing theory and practical topics.

✔ Don’t Stick to Theory All Day

• Mixing subjects helps maintain focus.

• Alternate between practical and theory subjects.

• Avoid long, dull theory-only days which kill productivity.

✔ Prepare At Least One Subject for Exemption

• Choose one subject where you’re confident and aim for 60+ marks.

• This helps balance out any weaker subjects in aggregate scoring.

✔ Focus on Crucial Resources for Revision

• Solve Revision Test Papers (RTPs) and Mock Test Papers (MTPs).

• Solve MCQs thoroughly – they carry 30% weightage.

• Practice time-bound answers from past papers.
