How to Clear CA Final on Your Sixth Attempt
First and foremost, do not worry. If you have not succeeded yet, it simply means you haven't directed your efforts in the right direction. If you have taken classes earlier, unlearn everything that seems unhelpful. Start from scratch. Acquire some updated books and practical manuals, or even download them from your institute's site. Make a habit of writing down your solutions, as this will help you retain the information better and enhance your preparation.
Make use of the Real-Time Practice (RTP) and mock test papers for your last two attempts. Give yourself ample time to sleep, exercise, and indulge in activities that help you relax and rejuvenate. Set a day off in a week where you can revise some topics for 2-3 hours. For detailed information on books and where to find them, feel free to message me or refer to Pranav Jains' answer on Quora.
Challenges and Realities of the CA Final System
Many people are inspired by success stories and are motivated by the idea that failure is not an option. However, from a different perspective, it is important to be realistic. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) primarily aims to generate income from us. There have been instances where the institute has arbitrarily reduced marks without valid reasons. This system can be frustrating and demotivating, especially during the November 2017 examination.
Instead of wasting precious time in this system, if you put the same effort into any other entrepreneurship or venture, you are likely to exceed your own limits. Even if you eventually become a Chartered Accountant and secure a 9:00 to 5:00 job with a 20-lakh package, you will be working for someone else. If you decide to go into practice, you might end up doing just accounting for individuals who are not yet Chartered Accountants. They often earn significantly less than what you are charging, even though they are profiting from their businesses, which is many times more than your fees.
My final advice is: Don't waste any more time. Quit now without any doubt. Remember, the key is to use your effort effectively and not let the system waste your time and potential.
Conclusion
Stay motivated and focus on your goals. Imagine the joy on your parents' faces on the day you finally clear your CA final examination. If you are determined to be a Chartered Accountant, shift your mindset, remove any doubts, and start studying with renewed vigor.
