The Real Test in CA is this....

Have you ever wondered what the CA course is truly testing? Many people believe it's about IQ or the ability to memorize vast amounts of information. But if you think about it, even after clearing the CA exams, we're still going to be referring to books and the internet to solve problems, whether we're in industry or practice. So, memorization isn't the whole point.

According to CA Hareesh, the real test in the CA course is something much more fundamental. The Institute wants to know:

• Can the student exercise self-control?

• Is the student truly trustworthy?

• Is the student serious enough to want to become a Chartered Accountant?

And how do they find this out? They do it by creating a course with a staggering 5,000 pages to read and master within a mere nine months.

This monumental task can only be accomplished if the student can:

1. Shut off all distractions

2. Manage the affairs of daily life effectively

3. Maintain this level of focus for a continuous period of eight to nine months

So, the next time you're feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of material, remember that you're not just being tested on your knowledge of accounting principles or tax laws. You're being tested on your character, your discipline, and your commitment to your dream of becoming a Chartered Accountant.
