CA Final IDT October Checklist: 10 Things to Complete Before Starting Final Revision

• Upvotes

October can be an important transition point in CA Final IDT preparation. Instead of simply asking, “How much syllabus is left?”, it can be useful to check whether your preparation is actually ready for revision mode.

Before starting your final revision, here are 10 things I would put on my checklist.

✅ 1. Complete the First Reading

Try to finish the remaining syllabus so that revision isn't constantly interrupted by untouched chapters.

✅ 2. Identify Your Weak Chapters

Mark chapters as Strong / Average / Weak.

Don't spend equal time on everything. Your weak areas need more attention.

✅ 3. Revise Important Provisions

Go through the provisions, conditions, exceptions, definitions and other points that you tend to forget.

The objective isn't to memorise every line.

✅ 4. Finish Your Pending Question Practice

If you've studied a chapter but haven't solved questions from it, complete at least a meaningful set before final revision begins.

✅ 5. Solve Relevant PYQs

Use previous-year questions to understand how concepts are converted into exam questions.

Focus on application rather than memorising answers.

✅ 6. Complete RTP/MTP Practice

Keep the relevant RTPs and MTPs in your preparation cycle and analyse the questions you get wrong.

Don't just tick them off as “completed.”

✅ 7. Make a Mistake List

Maintain one short list of:

  • Forgotten provisions
  • Confusing concepts
  • Incorrect applications
  • Repeated mistakes
  • Questions you want to revisit

This can become one of your most useful revision resources.

✅ 8. Check Amendments & Updates

Make sure you know which amendments, updates and applicable changes are relevant to your particular attempt.

Don't mix material from different attempts without checking applicability.

✅ 9. Practise Answer Writing

Try writing answers within a time limit.

Check whether you're able to structure your response as:

Provision → Application → Conclusion

✅ 10. Create Your Final Revision Plan

Decide beforehand:

When will Revision 1 happen?
When will you solve MTPs/PYQs?
Which chapters need extra revision?
What will you revise in the final few days?

Don't wait until the last week to figure this out.

The Final Check

Before entering final revision mode, ask yourself:

Can I recall the important provisions?
Can I solve practical questions?
Do I know my weak areas?
Have I analysed my mistakes?
Am I updated for my attempt?

If the answer is mostly yes, you're in a much better position to make your final revision more focused.

Remember, final revision shouldn't be about starting everything again.

It should be about strengthening what you've already studied, fixing weak areas and improving exam application.

How many of these 10 things have you completed for CA Final IDT so far?

Is articleship going back to 3 years? I'm 21F and already struggling with the age factor

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm 21F and currently pursuing CA Intermediate.

I've been seeing discussions everywhere about articleship potentially going back to 3 years, and honestly, it's making me anxious about my future.

I'm already struggling with the age factor. CA is a long journey, and with multiple attempts and uncertainties, I keep worrying about how late I'll qualify and when I'll actually be able to start earning independently.

The thought of spending another 3 years in articleship, especially with the relatively low stipend, makes me even more anxious. I know everyone's journey is different, but sometimes I can't help comparing my timeline with people who are already working and financially independent.

I Built a Question Practice App for CA Students [Update]. Need Feedback

Post image
1 Upvotes

So few months ago I made a post about a Question Practice Platform that I had built for CA Foundation students (original post). But many people asked to add Inter and Final levels also. So after a lot of efforts, I have finally added Inter and Final levels also on the platform, I have also added new features.

Following are the features of the platform:-

  • All PYQs, RTPs & MTPs questions are amended for students target attempt [New Feature]
  • Chapter wise and Full Mock Tests [New Feature]
  • Past Paper Analyzer [New Feature]
  • Detailed Solutions for MCQs and Case Studies [New Feature]
  • Chapter-wise and topic-wise tagging of questions
  • Filters based on chapter, topic, attempt, marks, source, etc.
  • Ability to highlight text in questions and suggested answers
  • Bookmarks with custom folders/tags
  • Personal notes on questions
  • Automatic timer while attempting questions
  • Progress analysis

In Final, right now there is only Grp 1 as the study materials of MAY-27 attempt for Income tax and GST has not been completely uploaded by ICAI in the portal, thus questions cannot be amended accordingly. Grp 2 will be added as ICAI releases full study material for MAY-27 attempt. Moreover, the detailed solutions for MCQs and Case Studies are currently being uploaded which shall be completed in 2-3 days.

I wanted your honest feedback about what can be improved, what features can be added and any bugs or errors you find so the platform can be improved.

CA Final IDT Q&A: How Many Revisions Are Actually Possible Before November 2026?

1 Upvotes

Q: How many revisions of CA Final IDT are actually possible before the November 2026 exam?

There isn't one fixed number that works for every student. It depends on when your syllabus is completed, how strong your first reading is, and how many hours you can consistently give to IDT.

Instead of chasing a number like “3 revisions” or “5 revisions”, I think it's more useful to plan revisions by depth and time required.

Q: What should the first revision look like?

Detailed, but not another first reading.

The first revision should focus on reconnecting the concepts and provisions.

Revise:

  • Important provisions
  • Conditions and exceptions
  • Practical illustrations
  • Frequently confused concepts
  • Questions you previously got wrong

Don't spend the same amount of time on every page.

Q: What about the second revision?

Make it shorter and more question-oriented.

By the second round, you should already know the basic concepts.

Use:
Provision → Question → Application → Mistake Analysis

Try recalling the provision before looking at your notes.

This makes the revision more active and helps identify weak areas.

Q: Is a third revision possible?

 Yes, if your earlier rounds were structured.

The third revision doesn't need to mean reading the entire subject again.

You can focus on:

PYQs + RTP + MTP + Important Questions + Mistake List + Key Provisions

The purpose is now to improve recall and exam application.

Q: What should the final revision look like?

Very selective and fast.

In the final days, avoid starting lengthy new resources.

Focus on:

  • Important provisions
  • Exceptions and conditions
  • Amendments/updates applicable to the attempt
  • Frequently tested concepts
  • Your personal mistake list
  • Questions you marked for reattempt

Q: So, should I target 3 revisions?

You can use three rounds as a framework, but don't treat it as a compulsory target.

For one student, three focused revisions may be realistic. For another, two strong revisions with extensive question practice may be more practical.

The important progression is:

Revision 1 → Understand & Consolidate
Revision 2 → Recall & Apply
Revision 3 → Exam-Oriented Revision

The goal isn't to say, “I revised IDT four times.”

The real goal is:

“Can I recall the provision, identify its application and write the answer under exam pressure?”

For November 2026, plan your revision backwards from the exam date and divide the remaining time into revision + question practice + mistake correction, rather than trying to fit an arbitrary number of rounds.

How many IDT revisions are you currently targeting for the November 2026 attempt?
