CA

Let me tell you first, that professional course is something about choice that you made by your own fate. Studying Chartered Accountancy course in India is very much bold decision in itself and you will enjoy of getting attention, privilege in your social life comparing to other commerce students. But this is not free, it demand Patience, Dedication and lot more effort that other Students can imagine only. You need to work three year free of cost (Almost) with burden of qualifying your upcoming exams. You have to manage your life like Robot. It is little Awkward but somehow it is true. Your all school friends will settle in their life earlier than you and it is very much possible you are still waiting for your Final exam or Results or even doing article ship free of cost. You have to answer tons of question from your relatives, society etc. Like, when will it complete? Do you get a job? If you are going to office than how come you are doing CA. Etc. Many pity question. Last but not the least, once you clear the final exams and you get ICAI membership you are no more Ordinary guy. Your signature have value now. MNC are looking for you and Government have some expectations from you. You will suddenly become rare species of India with tons of opportunity.

In order to achieve any goal, you have to really want it. If you don't have the conviction and see yourself passing the CMA exam, it'll be hard to stick to a study plan. Having a well-thought-out study plan from the beginning will save a lot of time and stress down the road. Develop a 12-week study plan for each part. Anything less than 12 weeks may not give you enough time to assimilate every topic. Studying small chunks each day makes the entire process lighter and manageable, and you will actually retain much more of what you study. My recommendation is to study with a solid CMA course for at least 2 to 3 hours a day and at least 6 to 8 hours on the weekends. Also, take mock tests.
