With only three months until the exam, it is important to make the most of your time if you are taking CMA Final CFR classes.

CFR classes are typically 260 hours long and cover all sections and parts of AS and IND AS. However, despite carrying only about 15 marks in the exam, AS and IND AS are the most important parts of CMA Final CFR.

So now, the question arises of how to cover the syllabus in the 3 months while doing classes. 

 

To complete the syllabus in the allotted time, it is recommended that you attend one lecture per day and watch the AS marathon video on YouTube, which can assist you in completing the AS parts quickly also.

Start watching the lectures from Part B, and don't start doing your video classes from the AS classes because there are so many classes that will take up a lot of your time.

We recommend that you watch the AS marathon videos, which cover all of the AS and are short, compiled lectures of the AS classes.

 

You can also watch revision videos on YouTube and revise from your summary notebook, which will help you revise more efficiently and finish the lectures faster.

Try to finish all the classes 15 days before the exam so that it will help you in revising. 

 

You need to take out this much time from your daily routine, for CFR if you are doing it with classes because you need to study the rest of the subjects as well.

It is recommended that you begin studying for the CMA Final CFR exam with section B and work your way through to section E.

This is because Section A covers a large portion of the exam but only carries 15 points. While we do not recommend skipping this section entirely, it is best to study it after you have finished the others.

 

By beginning with section B and working your way through the sections that carry the most marks in the exam, you will be able to focus your efforts on the areas that are most likely to help you pass.

You can watch revision videos while studying to clear up any doubts you may have and revise accordingly. The end goal is to study strategically and efficiently in order to improve your chances of passing the CMA Final CFR exam.

 

Mock tests are an excellent way to know your knowledge and identify areas that need more attention. After finishing each chapter, it is recommended that you take chapter-wise mock tests to assess your knowledge of that topic. This will assist you in determining which areas you are strong in and which require improvement.

Once you have completed the entire syllabus, you must take full mock tests to assess your overall performance. This will give you an idea of how well you comprehend the concepts and how well you can apply them in various situations. Mock tests also provide students with a near-exam experience, allowing them to become more familiar with the exam pattern, reduce anxiety, and build confidence.
