Passing both groups of CA inter in the first attempt is the dream of every CA student. Not only is it the most satisfying and relieving experience but it also greatly improves the career prospects of the students in the long run.
However, it is mostly portrayed as a tough task that only a chosen few can clear, leading to low confidence levels in many students. But, in all honesty, it is not that hard to clear CA Inter both groups in the first attempt. There are thousands of CA students who have cleared it in the first attempt and thousands more who continue to do so. You can do it too.
In this article, we want to bring to you some essential tips that will certainly make this dream a definite possibility. You will also be ready to take this exam with full confidence and not linger in doubts. So, without further ado, let's start with the first one.
An effective plan or strategy is critical to the success of any worthwhile goal in this world. The CA Inter exam is no different. Creating an effective strategy is the first and most important step. This is not just a tip, we’re bringing to you a reality that has helped many students ace their exams in the first attempt.
So, how do you create an effective plan or strategy?
For starters, you need to first understand your current knowledge of the subject matter. Asking questions such as “which subjects or topics am I good at?” and “which subjects or topics am I not good at?” will help you analyze your current knowledge and where you have to focus your practice and effort.
The next step is understanding if you need help or not. This is crucial. Will you be able to grasp all the content by yourself (theoretically and practically) or will you need external help? A lot of students have trouble making this decision here. Sometimes, you may not need any external help, if you have the capability to study and understand all the material yourself. There have been many students who have done that.
However, getting some help will make the process easier. You will save time on understanding concepts that are hard for you to figure out by yourself. That’s why you need to find the right help.
There are many CA institutes out there but most of them are still practicing old ways of rote memorization and learning, which are neither practical nor helpful in the long run. It is critical that you find a mentor or coach based on how effectively they can teach you tough concepts in a practical way. Because that will help you retain the knowledge for a very long time. Do check out our mentorship course - Students who have enrolled in it vouch for its transformational experience.
At IndigoLearn we concentrate on practical learning rather than rote learning. That’s why most of our students clearly understand the concepts and are able to pass the CA inter exam in the first or fewer attempts. We would love to help you too if you need help.
The third step is to schedule your learning activities. Before you do that, get clarity on questions such as “How long do you have for the exam?” “How much time are you willing to spend learning the material?” “How many hours of sleep would you need?” And, “how willing are you to put in additional time to reach your goals?”.
Answering these questions, clearly, is very important. Because the number of hours of hard & smart work you put in will make a difference. However, there are some misconceptions that you have put in an unrealistic number of hours of studying in a day. That is far from the truth. Consistent 7 - 10 hours of highly focused study hours every day with a good sleep cycle will create brilliant results.
Make a clear schedule of your day and ensure you do your studying in a quiet environment without any distractions. Do check out IndigoLearn’s amazing study planner - customize your plan and constantly monitor your performance
Consider all the above aspects as you head out to create an effective strategy that will help you clear the CA inter exam in the first attempt.
A common problem among humans (not just students) is the inability to execute a well-structured strategy. There are students who spend hours creating strategies but they never follow through. You should avoid this at all costs if you want to clear this exam in the first attempt. Execute your strategy to the dot.
This is also why a coach or a mentor is necessary. He/she will follow up with you consistently to check your progress and that will keep you on track. However, you should also not be dependent on external influences too much. You should have the desire to do so intrinsically.
Positive thoughts help you focus on the goal. Negative thoughts will take you away from it.
That’s why it is important to seek constant motivation and positivity from like-minded people and also surround yourself with them. One of the best ways to achieve this is by developing close relationships with established people in the industry.
For example, you can approach a CA or a member of ICAI who you are inspired with and gain insights from them regularly. This will help you stay motivated and focused. Most of the well-established folks are humble and they would be more than happy to give you some advice and motivation. The best place to find some of these contacts is through Linkedin.
We recommend established people because fellow students can sometimes put their fears into you and that is very counterproductive. But there’s nothing wrong with being part of like-minded groups that can uplift each other.
You should always keep negativity away from you. A single negative thought can have a debilitating effect on your thoughts more than 100 positive thoughts. So, shun the negative thoughts and stay positive all the time.
Social media is probably the most disturbing aspect of 21st-century students and Gen Z.
There’s an old colloquial statement and it goes something like this “If you work hard now, then you can enjoy later. If you enjoy it now, then you will suffer later.” This is a staunch reality, especially in the case of social media.
Though social media has some good use cases, the primary reason social media exists is to grab people’s attention, keep them entertained, and keep them on the Social media platform. It is a form of addiction and people who are addicted to social media lose countless hours.
It leads to procrastination and later, no matter how much you regret it, you will never get the time back that you wasted on social media.
So, if you are planning to succeed, then you have to ban social media from your life until your exams are cleared. After that, you can enjoy it as much as you can.
