How I Felt When I Cleared IPCC / CA Finals: Overcoming Hardships

It's been two years since my last attempt, and those two years have been a journey filled with both triumph and struggle. After enduring multiple attempts—this one was special. It was my 6th attempt for CA finals, with pending results from my first group. On that day, every discomfort I had experienced during my preparation turned into a source of immense joy and relief. Finally, after the horror of the previous year, I received the PASS notification.

Setting the Stage for Success

Back in June 2018, I had cleared CPT. Initially, I was confident about my performance. With high school academics as my foundation, I expected to easily top 115 to 120 marks. However, the reality of the CA exams quickly hit me. The standards were far higher than what I was used to in school, and I scored only 149 out of 200. This realization highlighted the rigorous nature of CA exams. Triumph is a sweet victory when victory is what you desire most.

Building Determination and Consistency for CA-Inter

Preparation for CA-Inter in May 2019 required a lot of commitment. I aimed for 12 hours of studying daily, managing 10 to 11 hours consistently. This was no small feat. The path to success is often paved with perseverance and a willingness to overcome each emotional hurdle. With my focus set, I gave the exams and predicted a total score of 520 to 530. However, the real world is often uncertain—unexpected challenges can arise, blowing your best-case scenario out of the water. When the result finally came, I nearly fell apart; my prediction of 450 seemed destined to fail. But the results turned out to be 529/800, with exemptions in seven subjects. It was a moment of joy and relief.

Conclusion and Future Prospects

The final exam is scheduled for May 2022, and despite the trials and challenges, I remain hopeful. Life changes after such pivotal moments; the degree becomes a permanent part of one's identity and a lifelong reminder of the hard work and struggles. This journey has taught me the invaluable lesson that every attempt, despite the odds, can lead to success when one persists. My story is a testament to the power of perseverance, learning from setbacks, and never giving up.
