Make a time-table
Students shall note the first step towards deciding a study strategy for yourself, is setting a time table. To make a good time table for yourself, understand the needs of the various subjects, combine it with the weightage of topics, keep your interests in mind and then, come to a time-based study schedule.
Tip: Set daily targets but make sure that you’re setting some realistic goals for yourself. Students often end up setting schedules which neither suit their study habits nor are practical and hence, instead of benefiting you, make the things more clumsy.

Make smart and short notes
The students shall understand the importance of making, referring and revising the notes. Candidates shall develop a habit of always making smart, to-the-point and short notes which not only ensures revision but also helps to prepare with ease. Everybody knows and understands the importance of having good ready-to-refer notes; whether during the exam days or the revision days, notes can always prove to be a great help.
Conceptual clarity
Students often get confused between memorising and understanding things. The common mindset says that in order to score well, you shall memorise the study material whereas the fact is that if you have understood all the concepts clearly, you’ll be able to do better than what you expected. Candidates shall hence, always focus on making their concepts clear.
Refer to mock tests
Attempting practice papers holds more importance than anything else. Your study plan shall necessarily, have time to attempt mock tests. ICAI has prescribed a set of papers which are available on the site, the students shall always spend enough time on it. The candidates shall note that it is essential to understand the question pattern and refer to the suggested answers before you appear for the examinations.
Multiple revisions
Since all of us know the syllabus is vast and until you revise the topics repeatedly, you won’t be able to perform better. Your study strategy should ensure multiple revisions which include repeated readings, conceptual clarity and attempting practice papers.
Tip: Students have a tendency of confusing the study hours with its quality. You shall understand that your revision should be thorough and not just focus on 15-16 hours of daily study.
Last month strategy
Understandably, the last month of your study time-period is the most important one and hence, you no longer have time for introspection and experimentation. You shall understand your study habits and stick to a schedule which works the best for you.
Tip: Do not over-burden yourself and practice mind-calming exercises regularly. Focus on smart-work strategies and have faith in your abilities.
