Hello Saniya,

if you can read the module in one go and can revise the same Atleast 3 to 4times  from august month to December then you should definatelly go for it.

Start your preperation early for that and appear for both modules in June 2023.

Hello Aspirant.

Hope you are doing well.

There is no specific syllabus for the Pre-exam test. As it applies to the executive program students, the test is conducted in all the papers of the Executive Program modules. The candidate is expected to possess knowledge about the Foundational syllabus to a certain extent as well. The Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) conducts the mandatory Pre-examination test for candidates who have enrolled for the CS Executive Program. It was from December 2018 that the institute began the Pre-exam test, prior to which there was no mandatory test.

GOOD LUCK, STAY MOTIVATED AND HOPE THIS HELPS.

Thankyou.
