    CA Inter January 2025 Last Minute Preparation Tips

    Candidates can help with these last minute preparation tips to relieve the exam stress and score well:

    Say NO to any new topics: During the last days to the exam, candidates must make sure they refrain from learning any new topics. Learning new topics in a limited time will give candidates unnecessary stress. Instead candidates should use this time to revise whatever they have learned.

    Maintain a sound sleep schedule - Before a few days from the day of exam, candidates must ensure that they sleep well every day. A good sleep cycle is recommended for healthy mental functioning.

    Practice mock tests and previous year question papers - Practicing mock tests during the last days of preparation is a really good way to get that much needed confidence before the exam. Students will also get a good understanding of time management through the CA Inter mock tests and previous year question papers.

    Keep all the required documents at one place - To avoid any hassles on the exam day, candidates are advised to keep all the documents required on exam day at one place. Candidates will need one verifiable ID proof, CA Inter 2025 admit card etc on the day of exam.

    ICAI CA Inter Jan 2025 Exam Day Guidelines

    ICAI has specified certain exam day guidelines that need to be followed on the day of exam. The CA Inter exam day guidelines have been given below:
