Should we really give 2 months for revision. What is the difference where if I do cumulative revision along with subject and by the time I do lets say it is revised 5 to 6 times before exam. Then what is the point of keeping revision slot for 2 months before exams? Say even if I finish my classes with all the classes within decent amount of time and do cumulative revision and which includes writing mocks then what does the revision slot serve its purpose? Cause this I felt when I was reading law where I prepared my notes and did revision of that chapter once then after 3 weeks I forgot 60% of concepts. Revision was done only once cause of keeping priority of 2 months for revision and then obviously we can't finish 8 sub before 2 months of exam. I think I will feel the subject new itself if I don't revise 3 to 4 times now itself. (Note: This doesn't hold good if ur approach is to refer marathons and revisions. Except that if anyone have any suggestions please drop it down below including moderators) I was prioritising revision of 2 months and this was my point of view.

Revision doesn't means reading again and again At the time of first revisiion itself write down the headings , and before starting second revision you just see the headings and try to remember the concept under the heading I'm sure after trying this if you do your second revision ,you can definitely remember most of the concept . You should not doubt yourslef while studying . Your brain is your most powerful asset you have beleive it
Before you start next topic, quickly go through the previous topic. This helps you to retain better. Difficult points - write down. Last 1.5 to 2 months are good for revision for most students. But again one strategy does not fit all. I used to read subjects like Audit, EIS daily to ensure that I retain maximum. And it is absolutely okay to feel like you forgot few things. It happens. It would have happened at CA Foundation level as well.

Yeah sir keeping goal of revision of 2 months is hampering my first reading. I understand well in class and also solve problems on my own which are not covered in class. But after 2weeks I forget those which I have done. So even if I recall frequently I think I will not be able to make total of 2 months as seperate slot for revision. Like it would be nice to revise when I remember rather than revising when I forget. Or I need to refer some revision classes. For most of it especially theory except auditing revision sessions are there. Even I can make use of that. Let me find out what suits the most
