Get Familiar with Exam Pattern

Firstly, know about the exams pattern for each subject and understand the marks weightage of Subjective and Objective type (MCQs). Papers like Law, Audit, Direct Tax and Indirect Tax for Final Examination has 30% marks weightage in MCQ.

So, It is advisable for students to practice MCQs, so as to score full 30 marks in MCQ and chances of getting exemption can increase. You can go through the previous exam papers, or Revision Test Papers and Mock Test Papers to understand the Exam Pattern and the level of questions ICAI has set for each paper in every attempt.

Latest or Updated Study Material for Revision

If you have your own hand written notes covering every topic, then that is the best resource for revising that subject as it will help you to regain that topic more quickly and easily. But If you have don’t your own hand written notes, then second best source material is the book/notes from where you had earlier studied or had taken classes from. Don’t switch to some other book which you have never read or gone through earlier at this crucial time. For practical subjects such as Accounting or SFM or SCM, you can take ICAI Latest Study Material and must practice all questions given in it thoroughly.

Prepare at least two Subjects for exemption

You should prepare in such a way that at least two subjects can score you exemption. Everyone has some strong or weak subject. Try to prepare your strong subject for exemption as it can help you to maintain the aggregate even if you score passing marks in your weak subject. Even, in worst case, if you could not clear your exams, exemptions can give you relief in the next attempt.

Make Short Notes for last 1.5 day revision

This is an important thing to be done while revising any subject, whether it is a practical or a theory subject. Always make a short note by your hand while you are revising a topic.
