Chartered Accountant

After passing class 10th, a student is eligible for registration for Common Proficiency Test. But a student can appear for CA-CPT only if he has appeared in the Senior Secondary Examination (10+2 Examination).
A student who has got himself registered for Common Proficiency Test 60 days prior to the first day of the month in which CPT examination is to be held i.e. on or before 1st April and 1st October, can appear in the CPT examination to be held in June and December respectively. Common Proficiency Test examinations are held in June & December every year
To apply for admission to the CPT course a student is required to apply in the prescribed form.
A student may buy Prospectus from ICAI center by remitting Rs.100. The application form is available in the Prospectus.
Alternatively, the application form can be downloaded.

Definitely, it is not you alone but almost all the students who are planning to appear for CPT exam and are going to get roughly 3 months for preparation. Let me tell you this, 3 months are more than sufficient. There are certain tips that I would like to give you here:
1. Pay attention to all subjects as you know it is compulsory to pass in all topics, so you cannot skip out on maths, economics or any of the topics.
2. Attempt a lot of scanners or previous year papers. This will help you understand how to time yourself and also it will indicate to you what chapters you need to focus on.
3. Since you are already through with TS in accounts and Sandeep Garg, you have the knowledge of around 80% of the syllabus in both accounts and economics, therefore you will have time to focus on law specially mercantile law, which is a new subject for you. So manage your schedule accordingly.
It will not be very difficult to clear this exam and if you put in a hard work you can pass with flying colours. It's always beneficial to enter the course with good marks as it boosts your confidence.

The CPT is the first level of Chartered Accountancy examinations in India. This exam need whole year concentration on your study and if you studied whole year then no need to study in the last month. In the last month never start new chapter and try to practicing from Mock test which is best option for last month before exam. Just afer attempting the mock test and getting result, student will be curious to know what is right answer. In traditional mock test candidate has to open book and search, which consumes valuable time of the candidate. Online mock test, along with giving instantaneous result also gives instant feedback. Hence the candidate can save time by just seeing the explanations.
Mock test tells candidate where they stand among others nationally or internationally before the exam. Also it motivates candidate more towards their goal.
Time is the most important factor when it comes to clearing competitive exams. Attempting questions in the given time is not an easy task, considering the amount of questions asked in the exam and total time available. Hence, solving mock test helps! The more mock test candidate practice, more chance he/she has to complete exam on time.

Dear Student,
A year is too much for an exam like CPT. As per my opinion, 2 months are enough for it as to get through, one needs to score 50% in aggregate considering negative marking.
For that, I would suggest you to clear all your basic concepts and fasten your calculations with respect to maths. This will be sufficient.
As in accounts, law and economics the questions will be based on the basic concepts and when it comes to maths what all one need is faster calculating speed.
Refer only institute's books as those are the best guides for CPT exams. Generally, questions come from the practice manuals only.
All the very best for your exam.
Good luck!

To prepare for CPT Exam preparation, there are many apps available on play store.
For your preparation, you can easily access these apps & find it very useful. I would like to name some of the few Apps are:
Prepguru
CPT Quick ref
Konceptca
Online tayari etc
By logging in to such apps, you can study & learn so many questions in just one click. You just easily crack the exam after getting through these mock tests & practice paper.
However, you should not completely rely on online preparation. The approach used in teaching could be different from what is actually required. Online is also a better option for mock test and papers rather than the actual prep. So, focus on preparing through books or coaching and practice online.
