Q & A

What is the purpose of the 10-day revision planner mentioned in the video?

The 10-day revision planner is designed to help CA Inter students effectively revise their advanced accounts and other related topics. It provides a structured approach, balancing major and minor topics each day, with built-in buffer times for flexibility.

How should students use the revision planner if they prefer to split their study time between different subjects?

If students prefer to study multiple subjects, they can split the 10-day revision planner into two. For example, if someone wants to study for 12 hours but prefers to allocate 6 hours to accounts and 6 hours to tax, they can divide the planner’s targets accordingly, stretching the 10-day plan to 20 days.

Why are buffer times included in the revision planner?

Buffer times are included to account for variations in study speed. Some topics may take longer to grasp, while others may be quicker. The buffer allows students to stay on track even if certain sections take more or less time than expected.

What is the significance of the 'Actual Hours' column in the revision planner?

The 'Actual Hours' column is designed to track the time taken for each topic during the first revision. This helps students measure their efficiency and compare it to future revisions, allowing them to identify areas where they can improve their speed.

What does the 'Questions for Next Revisions' column represent?

The 'Questions for Next Revisions' column allows students to track which questions they found difficult or important during their first revision. This helps them decide which questions to focus on during subsequent revisions.

What are 'LDR questions' and how are they useful?

LDR stands for 'Last Derivation Questions,' which are questions that cover key concepts and are likely to help in understanding the overall topic. These questions are marked for additional practice, and students should prioritize them during subsequent revisions.

How should students manage their time if a topic takes longer than expected?

If a topic takes longer than anticipated, students should continue to work on it but increase their overall daily study time. For example, if the planner suggests 12 hours a day, they may need to extend it to 13 hours to ensure they complete their targets.

How should students handle topics they feel confident about versus those they struggle with?

For topics that students feel confident about, they can move through them faster or focus on practicing key questions. For more difficult topics, they should allocate more time and effort, potentially seeking additional resources or revisiting key concepts.

Is watching revision videos a substitute for self-revision?

No, watching revision videos is not a substitute for self-revision. While revision videos can help with recalling difficult concepts, self-revision is crucial for retaining information and being able to solve problems independently in the exam.

What should students do after completing the 10-day revision plan?

After completing the 10-day revision plan, students are advised to take a mock test (preferably from ICI) to assess their knowledge. This helps them identify any remaining weak areas before the exam, and they can adjust their revision plan accordingly for further practice.
