As the CA Exams draw near, a mix of anticipation and concern tends to sweep over students. The challenge lies in retaining recent study materials and presenting them effectively on paper.
Wherever you stand at this juncture, remember this: your chosen study approach is your ally. Trusting in it can be your guiding light during these intense days.
Here’s what really matters:
Personal Study Journey: Resist the urge to measure yourself against your peers. Your study strategy, the books you refer to, and your study schedule should suit your personal rhythm. Your journey is yours alone, and it’s unique. Don’t be swayed by others’ paths. Hold onto your study style with confidence until the very end.
Mastering Your Time: Optimize your time with custom audio summaries. Condense chapters into 10-15-minute audio clips using your phone’s recorder. These summaries can be invaluable during commutes or as a pre-sleep ritual. Repetition through listening can cement concepts in your mind and set you apart.
Choosing Your Materials: With time dwindling, stick to your trusted study materials. Avoid adding new books to the mix. Each book has its flavor, which takes time to adapt to. Instead, focus on your familiar resources.
Key Study Resources: Prioritize resources like CA Institute Study Material, Mock Tests, and RTPs. These are your compass in these times.
Cracking Theoretical Subjects: The likes of Audit and Law often evoke apprehension. The solution? Read and revise. Don’t hesitate to jot down answers on scrap paper. The act of “Learning by Writing” has a magic of its own, especially for theoretical subjects.
