The last 10 days before CA Inter and CA Final exams are the most crucial.
These few days can make or break your result.
Many students study hard throughout the year but unknowingly make small mistakes at the end, costing them valuable marks. At Smart Learning Destination, we have mentored thousands of CA aspirants—and these are the most common last-10-day mistakes we see every attempt.
Let’s understand them—and more importantly, how to avoid them.
Mistake 1: Starting New Topics at the Last Moment
Many students panic and try to study untouched chapters.
✔ What You Should Do Instead:
- Revise only already studied topics
- Strengthen high-weight chapters
- Skip completely new concepts now
👉 Last 10 days are for revision, not exploration.
Mistake 2: Ignoring Revision Notes
Re-reading books or watching full lectures again wastes time.
✔ Smart Alternative:
- Revise short notes & summary charts
- Focus on key provisions, formats & formulas
- Use faculty-made revision notes
📌 Smart Learning Destination provides exam-focused revision material curated for last-day preparation.
Mistake 3: Not Practicing Writing Answers
Students revise mentally but don’t practice writing.
✔ Correct Strategy:
- Practice 2–3 answers daily
- Focus on presentation & structure
- Use headings, working notes & proper format
Remember, ICAI checks what you write—not what you know.
Mistake 4: Skipping RTPs & MTPs
Many students ignore ICAI RTPs thinking they’re old.
✔ Reality Check:
- RTPs & MTPs often contain direct or similar questions
- Amendments are tested heavily from RTPs
📘 Always revise latest RTPs & MTPs thoroughly.
Mistake 5: Over-Studying & Burnout
Studying 14–16 hours daily reduces efficiency.
✔ Smart Move:
- Study 8–10 quality hours
- Take proper breaks
- Sleep well (minimum 6–7 hours)
A fresh mind scores better than a tired one.
Mistake 6: Ignoring Amendments & Case Laws
Especially dangerous for Tax, Law, and Audit.
✔ What to Do:
- Revise all applicable amendments
- Focus on recent case laws
- Follow updated faculty notes
At Smart Learning Destination, all courses are fully updated as per latest ICAI amendments.
Mistake 7: Poor Time Management During Revision
Spending too much time on favorite subjects.
✔ Balanced Plan:
- Allocate time based on weightage & weakness
- Don’t ignore low-scoring subjects
- Prepare minimum passing level for all papers
CA exams reward balance, not perfection.
Mistake 8: Constantly Switching Study Material
Using multiple books, notes, and videos causes confusion.
✔ Stick to One:
- One main book
- One set of notes
- One trusted faculty
Less material = more clarity.
Mistake 9: Avoiding Mock Tests Due to Fear
Fear of low scores stops students from testing themselves.
✔ Face the Reality:
- Mock tests reveal weak areas
- Improve speed & confidence
- Reduce exam-day anxiety
Testing is practice for success, not judgment.
Mistake 10: Panic & Negative Thinking
Stress and self-doubt peak in the last few days.
✔ Winning Mindset:
- Trust your preparation
- Stay calm and confident
- Visualize success
Confidence adds marks.
