2. Lack of Planning and Focus

While preparing for the CA Foundation exam, many students do not manage their time effectively. Proper planning and continuous learning are essential to get good results.

3. Vast and Complex Syllabus

Undoubtedly, the CA Foundation syllabus is huge, and the candidate must start preparing with ample time in hand. However, some candidates begin preparing late, which leads to memorising concepts during the last few days before the exam.
