The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) during the months of May and November, conducts CA IPCC/Final examinations where a large number of students put their full potential to crack the papers, where a small mistake can affect the result. So, I am highlighting the common mistake during preparation for CA. 1. Over a thousand of CA Journals, Books, Seminars, Webinars etc., it needs to be get in mind that having concepts from a wide variety of stuff doesn't make any sense. 2. Generally, students start to get panicked after giving the first paper. The worst part is, they don’t let go what they did. But, start spending time on a lot of things like recalling the exam time all over again, weeping, etc.,. The point here is, rather than thinking about how your previous exam went, you should start preparing for your next paper. 3. Your handwriting should be legible and fast. You could end up with a zero if the examiner is unable to read the sheet. 4. Incorrect English, grammar or wrong spellings are again a negative point, which uplift the chances of loosing marks. 5. People study smartly by covering highly predictable topics, which is a good thing. But, at the same time, do not ignore other topics completely. Go through each and every chapter once, and render much time on the important areas. 6. No matter how effectively one prepares for the exam 3 or 4 month before, if he/she is unable to do one complete revision on the day before exam, then definitely the performance at the exam cannot be optimum. All The Best.

Below are the few tips to avoid mistakes in CAT: A- Be punctual on "D" Day: It is very much necessary to be on time at the test venue to avoid any sort of panic. Be cool and keep confidence while appearing. B- Last minute preparation: To give your best. Do not learn new tricks at the very last moment. This increases chances of confusion especially in case of mathematics problems C- Don't get emotionally attached with a problem: Sometimes candidates get very attached to a problem and forget that the time is running. This is even worse when a candidate thinks that he/she had spent 3 minutes to a question and it will be a mistake to leave in between. But the truth is you need to save time and optimize your score. Each question has equal weight-age whether it is an easy or a difficult one. Keep Calm.
