- Suryansh Agarwal (AIR 1) {CA FINAL Topper 2019 – November Attenpt}
“Understand more and memorize less”
Interviewer: Would you like to share with us about planning, study hours, time table and daily efforts which you had put in during preparation for CA Final?
Suryansh: It is important to plan your studies well in order to cover the entire CA Final syllabus . I used to put in around 14-15 hours into studies during the last 3-4 months of preparation. I believe that it is very important for each individual to make his own timetable that suits him the best and not to copy anyone else’s.
