The Ultimate Guide for the CA Final Student 

Both or Single Group -  It is better to clear one group rather than failing in aggregate by attempting both..but all those students who cleared both groups of IPCC in a single attempt, who missed both groups of final by aggregate or at least one group by aggregate, who are not working and fully dedicated to studies, who are confident enough to clear both then they should appear for both the groups, otherwise a strict no. 

Reference Book -  After hours of research in CCI, buying them and borrowing from friends these are the top books that are popular among students: FR: MP Vijay Kumar or Parveen Sharma SFM: Pattabhiram (good for concepts) or AN Sridhar (more no.  

Revision and Practice After reading the heading most people are gonna think 'hey I know this. he's gonna repeat the same old thing' but believe me this is gonna have an effect on half of your result. You should do at least 3 revisions before the exam i.e. the next day, week, and before mock tests for sure because not remembering an answer which you studied once will give you more pain than not knowing an answer at all. 

Mock Tests -  It is recommended to write at least two mock tests for the whole syllabus, if possible join a revision exam batch near your place which are gonna gives you many advantages i.e. maintenance of time, writing practice, valuation of papers, the rectification of mistakes, etc. 

Body and Soul -  For most of the students preparing for exams their mantra=sitting in front of books for hours+eat+sleep...usually they skip that major thing called Exercise. Exercise doesn't necessarily mean hitting the gym or running like Usain bolt for 5km. 

Deviations -  This is the biggest snake in our game..this includes n number of factors social networking, chit-chatting, watching movies and TV, etc..and the major concern is most people don't know where to stop..they will start like 'hey I studied a lot today.  

Mental Strength -  This is particularly required for everyone who is not able to clear many attempts. I know how it feels because I am in that situation now and what is working for me is: that I am only in contact with friends who are writing in May 17 Exams I lost touch with people who already cleared so no comparison involved I forgot my past ca final failures I tuned my mind that this is my first ca final attempt Works for me.  

Love towards studies -  Whatever effort you put into your studies if love is not there towards the subject u may not be in a position to spend the required time and effort in your studies. Take up your books with a smile like the feeling u get before watching a movie.
