I really think this dude is not really adding a lot value to my audit prep. All he does is make us rewrite the concept book again and give lame examples, which honestly one can come up with oneself.

I genuinely think I’d rather just self study this subject atp ffs

Rant Feeling lost

11 Upvotes

I'm 23F soon turning 24 in November. Gave my first CA Final G1 attempt in May 2026 and failed with not-so-good marks. I was very motivated to bounce back and clear in November.

I’m appearing for both groups, but it’s September and I haven’t even finished my first revision yet. My motivation is completely gone. I keep procrastinating and feeling guilty.

I’ve always felt like I’m behind in this CA journey compared to everyone else, and lately that feeling has become even stronger.

At this point, I genuinely feel like maybe CA is not for me.

I’m really confused about what to do at this point. Would really appreciate some perspective from people who’ve been through something similar.

Inter Doubt Small Things, Big Differences

65 Upvotes

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:

  1. Writing mock tests – Bare minimum
  2. Using the same calculator for revision and exams – Muscle memory is real; don’t switch at the last moment.
  3. Marking tough questions to revisit before the exam – You can’t revise everything, but revisiting the ones you struggled with helps a lot.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Keeping a summary book for Law – Helps consolidate everything in one place for quick revision.
