First, you have to decide whether you are going to attempt both modules/groups or single module/groups at a time. It totally depends on you and your plan. After deciding the module/group which you want to be prepared for, it's time for you to plan the whole thing, like how many hours you can study a day or how many hours can you allocate to each subject.
1. CONFIDENCE: Most of the important things in exam like CS executive is confidence. Confidence is the foundation upon which you can build your CS executive exam success. Basically, for passing CS executive, you need not be a super genius. Do not ever think that only talented students can clear CS executive in the first attempt. So be confident.
2. PLAN: How many hours you have to study to complete your whole syllabus? Which subject is your strength and which subject is your weak? (I know most of the CS executive students' weak subject is accounts). Give more time to your weak subjects and make your weakness your strength.
3. Implementation of plan
4. GOAL: You must have set up the clear-cut goal that you want to pass CS executive exam in the first attempt at any cost. You will face a lot of difficulties while preparing CS executive but remember you will have to cope up all the difficulties and will have to follow the goal of cracking CS executive in the very first attempt.
5. BOOKS: Without good and proper books, all the above efforts are meaningless. Book selection is very crucial. You have to choose the best book which covers almost all types of questions, books which have understandable language. I will advise you to prefer study module provided by ICSI. I know it has some difficult language but module language is best for getting good marks. If you have sufficient time read Bare Act. In CS executive exam sections and case laws are crucial so this is beneficial for you to raise your study standards. Use scanner after completing the whole syllabus. Because the percentage of repetition of previously asked questions is in high numbers.
6. STRATEGY: Strategy can be included in an implementation of a plan but here I choose to explain this thing separately. Follow a strategic study, like you cannot study accounts independent of company law. Tax cannot be studied independently of accounting. Thus, these subjects are inter-related.
7. Revision
8. WRITING: Always practice writing.
