How should I prepare for cpt CA exam for June 2013 ?

Question

My CA entrance exam is on 16th June 2013. They're hardly 8 days left. And I'm not completely prepared for it. My portion is complete. But I'm weak in accounts. My law is done very nicely. I recently gave my mock exam and I did really bad in it. I'm very scared now. What should I study for the next 8 days. Please help me out. And which chapters or part should I focus more on ? I know if I give my full dedication for the next 8 days I can pass in it. I just need a little bit of guidance and help now.

TIPS FOR CPT STUDENTS

Hello everyone....i got 6th rank in CPT so i thought i should share some of my tips in each subject to you people nd i would be very glad if they can be useful to you people nd i would be very glad if they can be useful to u in any way.......

DONT FOCUS ON JUST MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS

We all the that in CPT only multiple option questions are asked.. and many students focuson solving more and more multiple choice questions nd ignore the subjective questions which are lengthy and they think it’s of no use in CPT exams.....BUT...may be by following this concept u will be able to clear CPT somehow but uwont succeed at IPCC of FINAL level....because CPT is the base nd if u dont have a strong base u cant build a strong building...

Try to solve as many subjective questions as possible bcoz students tend to lose habit of writing long answers nd solvinglengthy questions if they focus just on multiple options...

1. ACCOUNTS

If u have a good base of 11th nd12th std then CPT Accounts wont bother u too much....just stick to the basics because most questions come from the most simple points which sometimes we ignore....again...Accounts is the main subject for a C.A....so if u want to do well at higher levels of the course you should make your base from here onwards...as i mentioned earlieralso plz dont go for just multiplechoice questions..... solve the most complex questions too nd dont ignore the theory part...

2. BUSINESS LAW-

This is a new subject for you people...nd as i said CPT is the base...try to grab the concept because many questions in the exam wont be directly from the book...you will have to apply your common sense nd u wil be able to answer correctly only if you have the correct concept in mind and trust me this will help a lot at IPCC level...

3.MICRO ECONOMICS-

If you are thorough with 12th std eco...u wont have any problem in micro part...its easy but conceptual...dont try to learn it...just keep the concept and the answer will automatically come to your mind by just applying some common sense......u can keep theconcept of graphs in mind and create your own answers...

4.MATHS AND STATISTICS-

Many students tend to leave these 50 marks totally bcoz theyform an idea that they wont be able to solve it from the initial stage,,,plz dont do that...you areleaving easy 20-30 marks on offer....

Basic idea of maths is very important to be a C.A.....thats why we see students from Science stream clear CA before the students from Commerce background...so if u are leaving this subject completely u are digging ur own grave,....

In Maths nd Statistics u can easily fetch 20-30 marks coz many topics are very easy..just asharp brain and basic knowledge of 10th level maths will be sufficient ......u can leave the complex things like calculus nd series if you are not good at maths,,( no need to solve the tough questions from the study material coz u wont get questions of that level from these topics) ....last few chaptersin statistics can be left if u are short of time...u wont lose morethan 1-2 marks...

5. MACRO ECONOMICS-

Macro part is complete theory nd u will have to learn it somehow...(ratta mar lo aur koi chara nahi hai..)...Its boring but 25 marks come from there....justlearn it somehow....nothing can be done about it.....learn the dates even coz u get questions from there too...scanner will be very helpful....dont learn data ofeach and every year given.. LEARN ONLY THE LATEST DATA AVAILABLE...

Lastly go for a scanner for all subjects (suchitra prakashan is the best)....u will get a fair idea of importance of each chapter in the exams....

AT THE EXAM HALL

the outcome of a l l your hard work depends on how we l l youuti lise your 4 hours in the examha l l... p lease reach the exam ha l l on time and be equipped witha l l the required materia l... last minute hust le-bust le can have an adverse impact on your preparations....uti lize each and every minute given to you...try to so lve easy ones first...dont waste time if u are not ab le to so lve any question...go ahead further nd come back to a l l questions you have left when you have finished the easy ones...this wi l l give you confidence .....

PLEASE DONT TRY TO MATCH YOUR ANSWERS WITH YOUR NEIGHBOURS ..its a crime nd if caught your dream of becominga CA wi l l be finished then and there...and even if you are not caught you might end up cance l ling your correct answer and copying the wrong one from your neighbour...(EXAM HALL ME KOI KISI KA FRIEND NAHI HOTA..SO DONT TRUST ANYONE)...have confidence on yourse lf......be ca lm...its a professional exam..you are bound to get trick questions...befocussed and dont get nervous....

These are my views of what i made out of CPT…hope u peoplegot some useful information....GOOD LUCK...

REGARDS,

SNEHA BAGLA...

Answer 2

Tips to Crack CPT Exam :



Focus on theory of the whole chapter before getting to example questions. Solve maximum questions from the exercise.

Score more than 150 marks in maths especially if you are a non-maths student .

Give special focus to Mercantile Law and Contract Act topics as they are very important.

Ensure you are very good on Integration and differentiation, correlation and regression, theoretical distribution topics, to score well in Quantitative Aptitude.

Start with the law paper first as it takes maximum time in the exam.

First focus on scoring subjects like macro economics and mercantile law. Micro economics can be solved later and you will get more time for accounts.

Ask a lot of questions and get them answered from blogs like ours. There is no short cut to success. Take help of experts.

Answer 3

Agree to Aisha's answer. If you are all prepared but not confident enough, you can try taking some online test to evaluate your preparation level. www.prexam.com is one of the sites where tests are available free too. It helped me in my last days and the test solving is like a game so studying long hours does not get boring.
