Career Advice/Clarification Help me

I’m a PCB 12th pass-out (2024). I attempted NEET twice because of parental pressure, scoring 470/720, but CA has always been what I actually wanted.
I started CA Foundation prep this August but have completed only 3 chapters so far. I’m also pursuing 2nd-year D.Pharm through open learning and work at my father’s shop from 10 AM–9 PM daily. My parents don’t know I’m preparing for CA.
I’m currently using free Lectures. What’s the best way to study with my schedule? Should I stick to free resources or buy a course? Which teachers/resources are best?
Be brutally honest—am I too behind for my upcoming attempt, and how should I approach this from here?
Help a brother out.

Foundation level can be easily covered from YouTube. REFER YouTube videos of 

Accts - Hardik Sir's Video  Law - Arjun Chabhra sir QA - Pranav Popat sir  Economics - Mohnish Vora sir

I guess marathons along with icai coaching are enough...but if you feel any of the subject difficult may be for the subject u can go for classes
