How to Clear the IPCC in First Attempt, Study Tips Inside

Every student of Chartered Accountancy wants to crack the IPCC exam in one attempt. But, passing IPCC in the first attempt is not as difficult as it is formulated to be. Many of the ambitious minds clear it in the opening shot and even get ranks. The question arises here is, why others fail to crack the same even after studying over days and nights? It’s not because they haven’t studied good enough for the papers, but because the approach they have used was not correct. People commit silly mistakes and those mistakes need to be avoided during IPCC exam preparation. Now don’t worry for the IPCC exam because we are coming with the right way of how to prepare for the IPCC and CA. We have mentioned tips below, you can see one by one:

  • You should Study Daily
  • Review Previous Study
  • Avoid the Virtual World
  • Study During Vacations
  • Keep Confidence in Yourself
  • Set Small Target
  • Take a Short Rest

1. You should Study Daily

From the beginning, study at-least two hours daily, if you want success in IPCC exam and try to cover two subjects; first is theory & second is practical. To be successful, it is compulsory that you should study daily. In starting, You’ll get bored, but after some days it will become your habit and then you will study every day. Hence, the success will in your hand very soon.

2. Review Previous Study

Before you start studying, checkout or review the previous study and before going to sleep in the night, check out the next day schedule, what you want to do. Whereby make sure that your study direction is right. If you don’t do this, then during a study, you will get confused and forget the previous chapters slowly. Thus, it is very important to revise the previous study for long time memory.

3. Avoid the Virtual World

I am not saying to leave the internet, use it only for your study purpose, not for Whatsapp, Facebook, etc. According to an old saying, All thing holds some bad property and some good property, everything depends on us, that what do we adopt and left. If you have good properties then you can rise otherwise you fall. Therefore, use internet for searching previous exam papers of IPCC and related things.

4. Study During Vacations

During vacations, you should study almost 15-16 hours. Don’t waste the golden time in villainous activities. The success mantra is that my rival is doing hard work then I will work hard and if my rival takes rest, even then I will do the workout. Always remember one thing, if you sacrifice today then tomorrow will be yours.

5. Keep Confidence in Yourself

Always keep confidence in your self and have a positive mental attitude. They are tonic, which helps to fight the IPCC exam, as the IPCC/CA exam is very tough exams. You fight the CA exam in the first attempt and success in Professional life, it’s not compulsory. Many examples of successful CA who clear the CA in many attempts like CA T.N Manoharan sir. Therefore don’t lose your confidence.

6. Set Small Target


I would like to describe this point with an old saying, “Big journey starts with a small step”. This sentence says that don’t prepare for the IPCC in a month. From starting you should study in a right manner. Make your small target and complete them and understand the basic concept of the subjects. First of all, set a goal that 5 chapters will be completed in the first month and next 5 chapters in next month and then revise all.

7. Take a Short Rest


Shouldn’t read continuously as our mind require relaxation, so you should take rest in between you study. Take a rest as movie, outing and dinner with friend and family. If we continuous study and no take a break then, our mind’s capturing power will destroy slowly as medical science says.

8. Healthy Mind

This is important because everything becomes good when you are in good health. A healthy body leads to a positive mind. Probably, that’s the reason most people follow this.

9. Quality Matters not Quantity

Take your time to understand any subject thoroughly. One must have all their concepts cleared.

10. Stop Thinking Too Much

Give your mind to relax. Instead of stressing on various issues and subjects you don’t like, try to figure out what is more important and list up your priorities in particular.

Schedule to Success

Make a time schedule according to you and follow it daily. By this, you can timely prepare for the IPCC in an easy way and fight the CA and IPCC exam. Daily wake up early in the morning around 4 o’clock then till 5 o’clock get ready to study as the morning time is a peaceful time, which helps to improve our memory. You should follow the below schedule to succeed in the IPCC exam:-

    I joined the CA office As a Nominal partner with CA …… And I have Agriculture work in my daily routine now I was 26 years old. And I wish to Join intermediate ….. can I able to pass the examination with the daily study of 4-5 hours of self-study. (not in exam moment ) .

    • sharry

    • SAG Infotech

      It will depend on your concentration and hard work.

  • CHICHUMACHU

    I am going to attempt CA after intemediate education. Kindly provide me with some advice.

  • AMIT SINGHI

    Read the Study material daily, don’t waste time in coaching classes. Firstly read it as a novel so that you have an overall analysis related to the depth of study required. Secondly, read again and take a marker and highlight important issues in theory. refer other books or online lecturers where there is confusion.

    After having an in-depth knowledge prepare chapter wise notes ( it will take time) this will help you in revision and last moment studies.
    This will help you in recalling the subject matter, notes are a living document.

    Refer scanner of last 7 years and take a mock of yourself.

    I am certain that your confidence will boost up in this manner, and passing exams will be a matter of time.

    I have done CA, CS & CMA with this fun.

    • SAG Infotech

      Since you are already graduated, you can get a direct entry in CA IPCC. Refer to ICAI guidelines in this regard. You just need to go through the course and decide the subjects for which you require coaching and study accordingly.

  • anjali agrawal

    How to manage time and get rid of fatigue during tutions all day? Need another timetable please recommend? how to stop overthinking and nervousness?

    • SAG Infotech

      Reaching home after finishing tutions for the day you have to take rest for some time for around one hour then you have to start the study. You just have to concentrate on your studies, not on results. You have to divide your time for studying different subjects. You have to allocate the time to different subjects.
