2021 CPA CFE/CPA Core 1& Core 2/Electives// Case analysis and Time management
CPA Canada exams are now online on account of Covaid 19. The format of all the exams for various courses is case analysis. I have seen many students are finding difficulties to finish the exam in specified time limit and to approach cases in the correct way.
Effective time management is one of the most important skill required to pass CPA Exam. In
CPA CFE, students are finding difficulties to finish cases particularly in Day 1 and Day 3. In Core 1 and Core 2 also, now in online exams, many students are finding hard to finish both the cases within the time limit.
One of the main reason responsible for time constraint is lack of technical knowledge. Students are taking more time in reading, understanding, and outlining the case facts. Many students are not familiar with techniques of writing effective cases.
- Make sound practice to read, understand and outline in first 30% of available time limit.
- Take coaching and training with experienced tutor for technical knowledge and techniques for writing cases.
- While learning, try to do some MCQ to make your concepts clear.
- If possible do not use folio views and CPA handbook section particularly in Day 1 and Day 3 of final exam except for taxation.
I have self-published book for CPA Core 1/ Core 2 which contains, Technical, MCQ and 5 cases with solutions. Book is also available for CPA CFE 2021 exam.
Repeat writers and challenge exam students are most welcome for coaching. Visit my website www.beyond.coach, email me at tutor.pa1.pa2@gmail.com
