 How is your CA foundation result? What was your strategy for the exams?

Shit…I barely remember that. But this was an answer request and I’ll try to answer it. Non-CA aspirants should probably move on, there are no jokes today (but we do have a stickman.) All I feel is sadness, will probably cry for an hour after writing this.

I gave my CA Foundation back in November 2018. Had my results probably by February 2019.

This here’s the scorecard. And I don’t have proof but I secured AIR 17.

Here's how people reacted.

EDIT: Found one.

(And don't stalk the other nice people, it would have been a pretty daunting task to censor everybody's names.)

I joined my coaching in June 2018 and had my concepts cleared. I relied on ICAI material for studying, though.

Accountancy: There’s this great way to learn from your mistakes. Pay full attention to the first sum that is taught and then start doing the subsequent questions by yourself. If you commit mistakes in the initial stages you’ll form a stronger base. Most of the chapters are the same from 12th-grade accountancy, so it shouldn’t be any problem.

Law: There's absolutely no better way to prepare for Law by understanding it once and then doing multiple revisions. Call it old-school but I’m yet to find a better way to do it.

English: Wait, did we have a different name for this subject? Business something? Chuck that, it’s nothing more than glorified grammar. Never had a problem with it. If you do have any problems, try and remember the formats of subjective questions, you’ll at least score something. Not great advice, I know.

Math and Stats: Take a note from the accountancy tip and also make a separate notebook for all formulas. Just go through the note an hour or two before you appear for your exams.

Economics and Business Something (what, again?): Economics is again pretty much the same as 12th grade, brush up on your concepts a couple of times. And you absolutely don’t have to remember each and every line. And I don’t remember much about the other one but it was definitely easier than Economics, just basic things about various business structures and business terms.

Why is the Chartered Accountancy course overrated?

-
  Let us assume 1000 people decide to do CA. They appear for  CPT . Only 40% pass.  400 survive They appear for  IPCC . Only 12% pass.  48 survive They appear for  Final CA.  Only 8% pass.  ~4 survive Out of 1000 people who entered the industry, with dreams in their eyes and aspirations of being CA’s, a mere 0.4% were able to achieve it. Now they have to compete to get jobs! Between IPCC and Final CA, your schedule looks like this - Weekdays - 7 to 10 - Attend college in the morning 11 to 8 - Slog in the office By the time you reach home, you realize you got CA stuff to revise, any pending office work to do, you need to talk to your friends (If you still have them), follow your hobbies, etc. Weekends - 6–7 hour classes. For some people even Saturday is working, totally screwing up their work-life balance. Oh wait, for that a CA student needs to have a life! Add to this - outstation audits, college fests you have participated in, any other course you are pursuing and if you are in Mumba

 Is it okay to start practice immediately after clearing the CA final? I have done my articleship in my home town where I want to open my own firm. Generally, it takes about 3 years to break even, if you set up your practice. Kindly note that there are only 3.13 lakh Chartered Accountants in India a of 1.4.2019, of which there are only 1.34 lakh Chartered Accountants in full time practice. For nearly a US$ 3 trillion economy of India, the number of Chartered Accountants in Practice in India is deplorably low. However, the expectations of the different sectors from Chartered Accountants in practice is different, and you will take a couple of years to get to know the nuances of the client expectations on the one hand, and develop required professional skill sets to deftly balance between growth and diversity. Having said that, it will be relatively better, if you are able to become a partner of an existing CA firm, so that you get rich exposure in diverse sectors, different regions and i
