When students take the CA Foundation exam, it may be overwhelming at first and particularly when they are in school, coaching and studying on their own. The test is broad based, and thus a clear and realistic study plan is very significant. An effectively organized routine enhances clarity as well as eliminates crunch time anxiety. The following is a basic guideline towards developing a study plan that will work.

1. Comprehending the whole syllabus

There is the official CA Foundation syllabus, which should be read through before developing a timetable. Divide it into courses- Accounting, Law, Mathematics, and Economics. This can enable you to know which areas can take longer. Accounting and Maths are a little more of a burden to most of the students, therefore, it is always a good idea to plan additional revision on these parts. A full view of the syllabus also prevents surprises in the preparation.

2. Establish Realistic Weekly as well as Daily Goals

One of the pitfalls that students commit in the course of ca foundation preparation is making too ambitious goals. Rather, schedule 3-4 topics in daily small and manageable chunks. E.g. keep Accounting in mornings, when your head is fresh, and some lighter theory subjects, such as Law or Economics in evenings. Revision cycle within a week makes sure that what you are studying is fresh.

3. Take Advantage of Breaks between Short Study

Hours of continuous studying can appear to be productive, but in general, causes fatigue. Sub-divide your sessions into 45-60 minutes with a brief 5-10 break in between. This enhances focus and better storage of information in the brain. The method is taken by many students who are about to take ca foundation classes to remain consistent without being exhausted.

4. Maintenance Plan- Keep Separate Revision Plan

The last days should not be allotted to revision. Make a revision plan on a monthly basis beginning with the first month. Each and every weekend, you have to spend at least 2-3 hours in reviewing old concepts, quick questions or short tests. Consistency improves the clarity of the concepts and memorizes the formula, definition, and critical steps.

5. Answer Mock Tests and Previous Papers

Mock tests are also a necessary component of training as they allow getting accustomed to timing and exam stress. Answering previous papers also gives you the pattern of common questions. In the last month, at least two mock tests each week. This provides you with a real sense of your speed, accuracy and weak points.

6. Monitor Your Pace and Revamp Your Schedule

There is no ideal study plan that is perfect. Check your timetable after every 10-15 days and change it depending on your progress. When you realize that it is taking too long to complete some certain subject, rearrange. The most important aspect of consistency is flexibility.

Conclusion 

The syllabus is divided into smaller goals and it is much easier to build a study plan because you revise regularly and make sure that you are flexible with your routine. Such a systematic practice will help you remain confident and exam ready.
