To begin with, I would
like to share an incident of a CA final student who has just appeared for his
CA final exams. So just like others to he had put on all his efforts and left
no stone unturned and he was very much confident that his determined hard work
will get paid off soon. On his first day of exams, which is Financial reporting
when the question paper came into his hand, he went completely clueless, panic
and was worried for the whole 3 hours wondering how to crack such a lengthy
paper and Thus, was not able to perform well and present the paper properly.
Where did he go wrong in spite of studying so Hard? And why
he was not able to crack the paper?
The issue comes here is that he had just studied conceptually knowing all the
things but missing the very important part is the writing practice and giving
the test series. "Practise makes a man perfect" and even the
cricketers have the test matches before the World Cup so that they can give
their best shot in the final game, the same goes for our professional exams too.
How to avoid such a situation in exams?
Writing Practice:
For Practical subjects, if it is your first
reading of the subject then you have to completely write and solve at least the
important questions once properly from start to end from keeping a view in the
mind that how you will present the answer if the similar question is asked in
the exams.
And when you write and
solve it instead of just looking into the answers it will help you to retain
the concept for a longer time.
And if you follow this in a disciplined way then Yes! Here you go!!
You're almost 50% prepared for your final shot.
Mock Tests and Test Series:
Never have a thought in mind or skip the plan to give the mock tests even you
have the time constraints. Yes, you might be confident about the concept that's
great but ever wondered, how would you present the concept if the question is
asked in the exams for 4 - 8 marks what should be the content required and what
would be the key points for that.
Mostly while preparing
for exams there comes a time constraint and many students tend to leave the
thought for attempting the Mock papers as they have made up their mind let's
focus on concepts and let's see that presentation stuff in exams.
But this will not work
at all, if there are no hands-on practice then those 3 hours you will not able to
present your answer even though knowing the concept well versed and knowingly
you will present the answer in the wrong way. Many things come together in
those 3 hours and also one might be nervous also as this is one of the most
important exams in our life and every mark counts.
Rescue Plan: Merely appearing Mock test papers will not help, you have to
look for detailed evaluation for the same and understand where you went wrong
As ICAI is and always will be unpredictable at least look for those test series
which have at least a match of the difficulty level of ICAI, then only
appearing for Mock Papers will help.
