Intro and Motivation [0:00]
Yakshit Jain, a CA finalist, shares his strategy for scoring well in the CA Foundation exams. He encourages students to focus and work hard in the last three months, despite also having board exams. He stresses that these last months are crucial and that consistent effort is key to clearing the exams.
Two Phases of Preparation [1:15]
Yakshit divides the 3-month preparation period into two phases: syllabus completion and question practice. In the first phase, students should focus on completing their syllabus by watching one-shot lectures. He advises against skipping any chapters, aiming for 100% syllabus coverage to score well. The second phase involves solving PYQs (Previous Year Questions), MTPs (Mock Test Papers), and RTPs (Revision Test Papers) from the last four attempts, along with writing multiple test series.
Subject-wise Plan: Accounts [2:20]
For accounts, Yakshit recommends watching one-shot videos to refresh concepts and then solving every question from the module, regardless of its length. He suggests marking difficult questions for revision and creating an adjustments PDF or book to review before the exam. He insists on focusing solely on the module questions at this stage.
Subject-wise Plan: Law [3:31]
For law, Yakshit suggests learning one unit of a chapter each day during the first 1.5 months. This approach helps complete the syllabus in 30-35 days, leaving ample time for writing practice in the second phase. He emphasises the importance of learning the provisions and using the language of the ICAI (Institute of Chartered Accountants of India) in answers. He advises adjusting the pace based on the unit's size, taking two days for larger units if needed.
Combining Subjects and Strategy for Maths and Economics [5:15]
Yakshit shares his strategy of studying one descriptive and one MCQ-based subject each day, pairing accounts with economics and maths with law. For economics and maths, he advises quickly revising concepts through one-shot videos and then focusing on question practice. He recommends using a scanner or similar third-party resource in addition to the module and solving PYQs from the last 10 years. He stresses practicing speed and accuracy to complete the paper on time.
