3 Bizarre Study Strategies for Jan 2026 CA Exams.

These might sound questionable at first glance, but trust me — you’ll thank me later.

1️⃣Put a hard stop to the classes.

If your faculty has covered 70%-80% of the portions, then the rest of 20%-30% of the portions you can definitely take it upon you. Don't stay with this idea that you wait for your faculty till they complete the full portion and then you can start your preparations after that! Particularly for theory papers. Stop the classes and start your self-preparation.

If you drag your classes till the end of October, you will have only 60-odd days left for full-fledged self-preparation. At that moment, you'd wish you had stopped with the classes 40 days earlier.

2️⃣Don't have a daily goal of topics to cover.

Always approach your preparation from a lead measure which you can control and which is uniform. A fixed number of hours than a set number of topics.
❌Burnout thinking: I will not sleep until I finish today's targets.
✅Sustainable thinking: I will study with full focus for x number of hours. How much I complete in that time, that doesn't matter.

3️⃣Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.

I have been yapping about this idea pretty much in all of my YouTube videos: remove from your mind the idea of studying 12+ hours a day. Day 1 would look heroic. Day 2 would feel heavy. By Day 4, the plan collapses. You'd set yourself up for frustration. Focus on 6 hours/day, stabilize that first, then scale it 30 mins/day and finally cap it at 8-8.5 hours/day.
