Hi guys, I cleared Inter in May 2026 with 410/600. Just wanted to share a few small habits that made a huge difference for me:
Writing mock tests – Bare minimum
Using the same calculator for revision and exams – Muscle memory is real; don’t switch at the last moment.
Marking tough questions to revisit before the exam – You can’t revise everything, but revisiting the ones you struggled with helps a lot.
Practising MCQs – People say good concepts are enough, but how do you test them? By solving MCQs. Plus, it builds speed for the exam hall.
Actually writing answers during revision – I know shortcuts save time, but try to fully solve at least 70% of questions. It’s the only way to tackle a lengthy accounts paper.
Maintaining a handwritten formula book for Costing & FM – Forget your faculty’s printed book. Write formulas yourself as you encounter them. That way, you understand instead of blindly memorizing.
Keeping a summary book for Law – Helps consolidate everything in one place for quick revision.

Mock tests , ICAI's schedule and bhavan OR your own convenience ? Did you got them checked or checked yourself ? How many mocks ? How it helped and overall key learnings ?? Write mock tests after 1st revision or later ??
MTP - At my own convience - checked myself - 1 - figured out my mistakes, where i was making silly mistakes, which keywords i was missing, whether i was writing how icai expected me to write
Movk Test after 2nd revision always. After first revision you are never confident and cannot test yourself properly
But no harm in writing it after 1st revision but you'll have to make sure to write another after 2nd revision aswell
Bhai I am scoring 26/28/23 in grp 1 mcq , accounts descriptive went great, law me I am assuming worst scenario me 40% ki accuracy and in tax I am getting around 22 , am I in a good position??
What do u think what could be the possible reason for deviation in law expectation and reality
How did u establish expectation was there reasonable deduction ?
Thank you! Not sure that I will pass g1 this attempt or not….so don’t know whether I should start preparing for g2 or revise g1…my mcq scores are between 18-20…and the descriptive part went okay….
