Common mistakes which I did while preparation.

CA Intermediate Group 1

This Post is By Akash Pal

Hey, Guys Hope you all are doing good 🤗🙌

So recently appeared for Group -1 CA INTERMEDIATE Exams .It was good enough . Expecting +ve results .
So here are some common mistakes which I did while preparation . I'm posting it here so that students who going to appear for CA INTERMEDIATE don't do such mistakes .

🔴Take your decision to appear for both group or single group wisely ..I have seen students who initially start with both group and ends up skipping their attempt or switch to single group . Instead you should complete G-1 lectures ASAP then assess yourself whether u should appear for Both Groups or not ,based on your current prep.

🔴 Complete your lectures atmost 2 months before exams .If you will not complete your lectures on time and you will end up watching lectures a day before exams .

🔴Give mock test and that too without cheating.Mock test will make you aware about your preparation level .In online coaching we tend to to cheat during mock test (even I did the same😅 ) but we have to understand that we don't have to show anyone ,atlast it's your result so give atleast 2 mock test and that too honestly .

🔴 Never do selective study .I did the same thing in costing and this is the exam which can prevent me to reppear for G-1 (although chances are very less ). So don't do selective study .At the end , we have to apply all these theories and concepts in our professional life.

🔴 Lack of written practice and daily revision .This is the most ignored part during our preparation .We keep on postponing the revision and written practice of answers ..We start our revision after syllabus is complete .Please don't do such mistakes .Do daily revision and written practice .

🔴 Putting yourself in comfort zone .It can have adverse impact on your results ..Make hypothetical deadlines under emergent situations and try to complete in a manner that you have to give exams tomorrow .

🔴 In taxation , understanding and learning the limits will not assure you that u can solve the questions well .You have to practice as much as ques in Tax(Income tax specially) .I did the same mistake , I understood all the provision and learned all the limits but when it came to ques solving I was not able to do a single ques. while giving mock test.I realised my mistakes and started solving ques daily and I had seen improvement day by day .

🔴Atlast, having a right mentor during your preparation is very important who can guide you , keep you motivated and help u when needed.Thanks u Neeraj Arora Sir and ROHIT GUPTA for guiding me and keep me motivated throughout my preparation .

I hope I'm able to deliver my thoughts properly and it will help you during your preparation 🙂.
