🎯 How to score 90+ Marks in SFM & AMA :
By Yogendra Kumar Sharma
As I scored 93 in SFM and 89 in AMA in CA finals, so I think I can help you in making a good strategy to clear these two.
See these two are practical subjects, so the most important is clarity of concept, here I will explain few point…which you can take and make your own strategy as study strategy depends on person to person.
Here I am considering the old course you can arrange accordingly if you need suggestion for new one,
💁♂ 1. Subject level strategy:
a. Categorize the entire course in 3 or 4 categories based on similarity of concept in chapters like
📌 In AMA
1. Category one (Linear Programing, Transportation, CPM, PERT and LCT simple say chapter no 11 to 16) however the concept is not 100% same but you will find a basic similarities in these chapters and this portion will help you to secure at least 35-40 Marks (even More)
2. Category two (Method of costing Like standard costing, Service sector costing, budget simply say chapter number 4-6 and 8) this category will help you to secure 15-20 marks.
3. Category third (Pricing Chapter 3 and 7 and also include chapter 9 here) this will give at least 15-20 marks coverage.
4. Category four (Chapter 1 and 2) these are most lengthy chapters and will help you in secure at least 35-45 marks.
📌 Similarly for SFM:
1. Category one (Analysis Like security Chapter3 to 4 and 6 to 10) will cover at least 30-35 Marks.
2. Category two (Capital Market and Foreign transactions like Chapter 5 and 11-12) will cover at least 40-50 Marks.
3. Category third will cover all other remaining chapter where different concept are there (Chapter 1, 2, and 13) and will help you to secure at least 30-35.
The above categorization will give you a confident and comfort in study, further it will help you to cover the entire course quickly.
b. Try to start with a category which is lessor tough and simple for you so that you can go smoothly.
c. Make your own short notes for all concepts and steps that you applied in different types of question, this will help you a lot in revise the entire course.
d. Try to do these two subject during different time periods I mean never run these two during a single time slot. You can do any other theory subject with one of these.
e. Solve the SM and PM along with RTP of last 3-5 attempts.
💁♂ 2. General Tips
a. As presentation of answer is more important than exact solution of any question, so you should do practice with old paper and mock test papers.
b. You should do practice for time management also as paper will be lengthy, where time management is most important.
c. You should revise the entire course for at least 3 times, as per your time schedule however I would suggest time which will requires for these revision
i. First Revision 2-2.5 months
ii. Second revision 30-40 days
iii. Third revision 15-20 days and finally exam day revision
d. Try to solve old paper and Mock test paper in exam scenario i.e. just like examination in single sitting and in 3 hours only.
For this practice you can take help of your friend or family members in evaluation of your answers. You should learn from your mistakes in this practice.
e. Finally you should attend the Mock test exam organized by institute.
Hope this will help you…
All the best for your exam and future…..
