#CA Final Audit Classes

cheunderground.site/ : "The Zeros, often referred to affectionately as the “Mexican Ramones,” cannot only justifiably lay claim to being San Diego’s first “punk” rock group but also can brag about being one of the first punk groups in the US. In a brief but brilliant career highlighted by some classic recordings as well as shows with the Clash and Devo, the Zeros played the first big punk shows in both Los Angeles and in San Diego as early as 1977, when they were still high-school students (…) at a time when greater San Diego was both indifferent to and unimpressed by counterculture movements of any kind. Zeros guitarist and lead vocalist Javier Escovedo hails from a musical family… His brother Alejandro founded San Francisco punk band the Nuns, whose pinnacle was opening for the Sex Pistols in their legendary final concert in 1978 at the Winterland, and, was the family member with the most influence upon his musical tastes. Zeros guitarist Robert Lopez and his cousin, Zeros drummer Baba Chenelle grew up together listening to music and learning to play the guitar and drums, respectively. Baba and Hector met in PE class at Chula Vista Junior High School on April 4, 1975, the Monday after KISS made its first appearance on Burt Sugarman’s “Midnight Special.” “I told this kid I had seen this band on TV with a bunch of makeup and platforms,” Hector remembers. “Baba said, ‘Yeah, man, they’re cool. I have three of their records, so I’ll bring ‘em tomorrow, and you can check ‘em out.’ Baba turned me on to a lot of cool music like Aerosmith, the Modern Lovers and the Velvets, and we became friends,” says Hector. Hector decided to switch to bass so that he could eliminate his competition. He began teaching himself to play bass using three albums as guides: “The New York Dolls”; the Dolls’ “Too Much, Too Soon”; and John Lennon’s “Rock and Roll.” During this time, Javier and Robert, who were students at Chula Vista High School, were playing in a band called the Main Street Brats, covering Standells, Seeds, and Velvet Underground songs, alongside Javier’s originals like “Main Street Brat,” “Siamese Tease,” “Wimp” and “Don’t Push Me Around.” They recruited Baba to be the group’s drummer, and later that year, when they needed a bass player, Hector was invited to audition at Javier’s house in Chula Vista. “I didn’t hear from them for a long time afterwards,” Hector remembers. “I finally asked Baba about it, and he told me that they weren’t sure because they thought if I joined there would be too many Mexicans in the band! They were looking for a blonde guy.” The band had now become the Zeros, a nod to a line by Lester Bangs Javier had read in Creem magazine: “I don’t wanna be a hero, I just wanna be a zero.” Founding members of the band Robert Lopez & Hector Penalosa reunited to form The Zeros ’77 and will be performing on a mini So-Sal tour on 17 Sept. in LA, 21 Sept. in San Diego & 22 Sept. in Long Beach.

bio.

Pru Piper was born in San Jose, California, the youngest of three daughters. Her father (Thadd) worked in advertising, while her mother (KiKi) apparently thought her career laid in being a full time stage mother. From the moment Pru could sit upright, she was getting her headshots taken. By the time she was one, she had already won six beautiful baby contests and had starred in a Pamper’s commercial for the briefest of moments.

Pilot season for the Carey family meant a yearly pilgrimage to Los Angeles from January to April, with KiKi living out of a motel room with her daughters. By night, the girls were homeschooled and by day the girls were brought to every audition, casting call, and agents office as their mother could fit into a daily schedule. Most years pilot seasons ended with disappoinment -- roles lost out on or shows not being picked up to series by networks -- until that at changed when Pru was six years old.

Pru was cast in a Disney channel show called 'Royal Flush', where she played the precocious and wise-cracking Princess Kitty -- who was constantly acting as a foil to her older siblings plans. The show was a hit, Pru was a scene stealer, and the entire Carey family took residence in Los Angeles permanently -- putting a down payment on the family home with her first paycheck.

The hours were long and the work was hard -- Pru missed being back home and going to school with her friends -- but Kiki (who had swiftly taken her place as Pru's business manager) constantly reminded her daughter that she was living the dream of million's of little girls across the world.

'Royal Flush' ran for eight seasons on the Disney Channel (as well as producing two DCOMS), with an offer of a Princess Kitty spinoff on the table.

Prudence didn't want to take the job -- insisting that she wanted to return to normal schooling and make her own friends and move out of LA. However, she realized that she had become the soul breadwinner of her household. Everything -- house payments, car payments, credit card bills, and her sisters' college tuition -- rested on her shoulders.

The spin off show 'Kitty's Kourt' made her the Disney Channel's most bankable star. Soon, Pru's face was on back packs, t-shirts, and every clickbait link on Just Jared Jr.. Along with the show, she became the leading star of two-record breaking Disney Channel musicals.

Acting had stopped being fun for Pru long before she had turned eighteen, but once she was of age she finally felt she had some control. However, after going to the bank to check her savings behind her parents' back, Pru found that the majority of the money she had made throughout her childhood had been drained completely. All that remained were the funds that had been set aside for her Coogan account.

Once her contractrual obligation to the House of Mouse was complete when she was 20, Pru took all the money she had to her name and left LA -- and her family -- behind.

After being accepted by Aurora Bay College, Pru did her best to settle into the life of normalcy she had craved before. Classes, study groups, roommates. But there were always bumps in the road -- classmates who would take her picture in exam halls and guys who would take her on dates just to post online that they'd fucked her. It was a balancing act.

She dabbled in acting occasionally -- starring as Needy in the movie version of Jennifer's Body: The Musical -- but hasn't had a credit to her name in two years.

At the end of her senior year, Pru started a podcast in her dorm room -- untangling blind items, telling stories about her old Hollywood life, and talking to other former child actors. 'Formerly Famous' shot quickly to the top of the iTunes podcast charts and remains in the top ten consistently to this day two years later.

With the money she has made through social media brand deals, and residuals from the reruns of both 'Royal Flush' and 'Kitty's Kourt', Pru has begun the Sucker Punch Podcast Network -- currently taking on new shows!

-other big names! while she’s definitely treading the line between B and C list, her name does often end up on invites! give me people she sneaks away to smoke or talk shit with 

- former college roommates and friends! pru went to aurora bay college and was probably a lost baby bird for her first semester especially, so the people who she met and became friends with in this time probably are like family to her!

-found family! because im always a hoe for it. pru hasn’t seen or spoken to her family in six years, so she probably seeks out people to depends on and who she can support as well.

- podcast guests! people who pru has had on her podcast to talk about fame, acting, celebrity culture, influencers, deep dives, etc!

-bad influences and party friends! pru went a little wild when she hit aurora bay in college and was truly on her own for the first time! once she was free from her disney conduct contract she likely got herself into a tabloid mess or two in a club or stumbling out of one.

- romantic! despite the rumors always flying about who she may be connected to, pru is always flipping around on about four dating apps in constant rotation. did they have a good hookup? did she sneak out in the morning? perhaps a fwb situation going on? did they fuck her just to brag about it? the more mess the better!

overall (god bless you if you’re still reading) pru is kinda inspired by the likes of emma watson, selena gomez, demi lovato, millie bobby brown, kiernan shipka, dove cameron etc. so imagine that kind of vibes in terms of her fame growing up and her current media presence!

The graduation of Aricka Winchester

(TFW 3.0-> Aricka, Adam, Castiel, Dean, Sam; and all the kids)

This was it. The culmination of everything that 18 year old Aricka Winchester (known to the public as Aricka Campbell) had been working for since she was in kindergarten.

She was graduating from high school. She would be attending online classes for the one and only Juilliard School- on a full ride scholarship-! She still couldn’t believe it. Aricka had always wanted to be an actress someday- ever since Dean showed her clips of Grease as a kid- but now that it was within her grasp she couldn’t believe it wasn’t just a dream.

And that wasn’t all the craziness. Not only was she graduating today, but she was also the valedictorian, graduating with academic honors and a final GPA of 3.98- all those sleepless nights cramming with Sam or the long car rides where Adam quizzed her with flash cards had finally paid off.

But they weren’t the only ones who had pushed her to this point.

Ever since Dean discovered that his little sister had big ambitions of becoming a fancy Broadway superstar, he’d researched every theater in the local Lebanon area, drove her to countless auditions, held her after every heartbreaking experience and celebrated with every role she played. He helped her memorize lines, took her headshot countless times, and made sure she regularly updated her acting resume.

And every person in the bunker had helped or cheered her on in some capacity. Castiel was her third biggest supporter; always asking her about her favorite shows; learning all the technical names for the theater, reminding her to “break a leg,” before every show.

Finally, she would pay her family back tenfold for their belief and support in her.

It was time to graduate. And she was ready.

~~~~~~~~~~

She wasn’t ready. Aricka felt her heart catch in her chest, her mouth dry like cotton, and her hands beginning to sweat. She couldn’t remember her speech- she couldn’t remember her speech-!

Whooshing. Wind- no, wings. The familiar flap of a trenchcoat. The scent of ocean and menthol cough drops.

Castiel.

“Cas…” she breathed; and the angel placed both hands on her shoulders firmly.

“You must breathe,” he says. “You have everything it takes to accomplish today. The hard part is over, yes? Today is about celebrating the hard work of the last four- no- eighteen years of your life.”

“Cas I’m not ready- I’m not ready for high school to end- I just got used to it -!” He pulls her into a hug - and she goes willingly, sinking into the angel’s grasp with a shaky sigh and a trembling body. “Cas I’m scared.”

“Good. To be scared means you’re human, and last I checked you were definitely human.” He laughs; the sound rumbling in his chest, soothing Aricka further.

“I’m being a baby, aren’t I.”

“No. You’re being a normal teenager who feels things,” he says. “It’s healthy to have emotions. To cry.”

“… You’ll be watching me right? Make sure I won’t fall?”

“If I even see you begin to slip I’ll “mojo” you back to standing,” he says, and she could hear the air quotes he wanted to make. It made her giggle.

“Thanks Cassie. I love you.”

Lips brush against her temple, right under her golden cap. “And I, you, sunflower.”

��————————

After several nauseatingly long moments, “Pomp and Circumstance,” began to play, and the gradating class of 2020 was ready to graduate.

Aricka turned to her right; takes seven steps; meets up with Samandriel- ah, yes. The angel- her soulmate-!- had went through the last four years of high school with her- under the name Alfie Johnson- and he was the salutatorian. She definitely wouldn’t have made it through the last four years without Manny at her side- he was her rock and her constant.

Dimly; she’s aware of Dean whistling and Sam quietly but also loud enough for her to hear proclaim, “Go Aricka!”

She grips Manny’s hand, he tucks it in his elbow; and he escorts her down the aisle to their row of chairs. The pair stand in front of their chairs and wait for the rest of their fellow graduates to file in after them.

—————-

“The 2020 class valedictorian is Aricka Campbell, under the guardianship of her older brothers Dean and Samuel Campbell.” The principal had to pause as an entire section of the bleachers erupted in cheers: whistles and stomping. “Aricka is a determined individual who remains committed to both her academics and extracurricular activities.As president of the theater and choral clubs, she introduced various musicals and advocated for the first ever glee club our school has seen. Throughout her high school years, Aricka has shone brightly in the spotlight onstage and on the field in marching band, as part of our color guard. She’s currently a member of the Battle of the Books club and has participated in drama, choir, band, FFA, newspaper, Spanish club, battle of the books, Solo and Ensemble and SADD since freshman year. She’s also been involved with the Sunshine club and tutors underclassmen in her free time.

Demonstrating her continued involvement in the community, Aricka participates in the local theater program over the summer, mentioning young children in the ways of the stage. . She has also participated in the Lebanon County Fair as part of their swine show and their creative music program. Upon graduation, she plans to spend time with her family on the road and at home, fully enjoying her summer before attending online classes at Juilliard School with a full scholarship. Ladies and gentlemen, your class of 2020 valedictorian, Miss Aricka Campbell.”

With sweaty palms and shaking breath; Aricka stood and made her way to the podium. She heard- very echoey but still heard- the cheers and applause of her family members as she organized the paper and calmed her nerves and breathing down. She looks up. Scans the bleachers. Finds a tan coat and green army jacket. Tense shoulders relax.

And then she speaks.

———————

“Good afternoon. Loving families, fellow graduates, and supporting staff, thank you all for being here today. My name is Aricka Campbell, and I am your 2020 valedictorian.

We did it. 9,467,280 minutes later, we have arrived at the moment our parents or guardians have longed for yet dreaded- graduation. I can safely say, this was nothing like Grease or Grease 2. Dean- you let me down dude. You crushed my soul.” She laughs and can almost hear Sammy tease Dean and Dean rolling his eyes.

“I always knew today would come. My brothers have been preparing me for this day since I started kindergarten. When I was little, we moved around a lot because of the job my brothers had. But then we found Kansas, and we found home. To quote Dorothy Gale from my favorite book, The Wizard of Oz, “There’s no place like home.”” She turns the page and continues,

“To my fellow graduates, the next few weeks are going to feel surreal. I’ve already felt it. But I have some advice I hope will help. You all helped me fit in when I was new here; five years ago when I was a scared and nervous eighth grader. Now it’s my turn to return and repay you all.” She looks at the chairs of graduating students before her and sees several of her friends smiling back- none prouder than Samandriel of course.

“I like to think of life as a Broadway musical. Act one is over. We might have a long or a short intermission, depending on what the future holds for each of us. For me, I have a shorter intermission than some, because I will be attending college in the fall. But for some, intermission is going to be longer. You might be taking a gap year. Or you might be joining the work force, looking for a job leading to a career. Whatever your second act looks like, from your resident theater geek; break a leg. Or in layman’s terms, good luck.” She winks, does jazz hands, and several people laugh.

“To our families, you’ve been the supporting cast our entire lives, cheering us on and pushing us ever since we began kindergarten. I want to give my personal family a shoutout- but I have a lot of family here so I’m going with four people in particular.” She takes a breath, already getting emotional.

“Cas. Thank you for all the late night snack chats, the ones Sam and Dean didn’t know about until now- oops. Thanks for lending a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen, and arms that give some of the best and warmest hugs ever.” She looks up just as the angel blows a kiss her direction, and she pretends to catch it right there in front of everyone. “I love you too-!” She clears her throat before moving on,

“Adam. We’ve been the “A-team,” since we met, and I’ll never forget the time you let me draw the muscle systems on you for a biology class. You always found a way to make learning fun and I’ll always be grateful for you.” Instead of looking for a reaction she pushes forward, saying,

“Sammy. You saw my academic potential and pushed me harder than I ever thought I could be pushed. You stayed up late with me countless nights and helped me memorize conjugations, formulas and procedures that I never would’ve learned without you. I love you more than words can express.”

Then came the one she knew would be hardest because of how easy it was to write.

“Dean. How can I thank you enough -? You raised me from the time I was a little kid- you’ve loved and supported me through thick and thin, and when you found out my biggest dream was to act you lifted me up to reach the stars. And now I’ve grabbed them. It’s truly all because you saw me better than anyone else. I love you De.” Here she looks up, eyes wet with tears and breath hard to find, “To infinity and beyond.”

Wiping her eyes: she smiles and says,

“And finally, to the staff. I’ll never forget the support and love I’ve felt from all of you. Especially the drama, choir, band and library staff. You’ve all been so supportive and wonderful and I’ll carry the memories of your teachings fondly.” One more final breath and she finishes,

“In closing, I’d like to leave you with the words of Walt Disney, “"Whatever you do, do it well. Do it so well that when people see you do it, they will want to come back and see you do it again, and they will want to bring others and show them how well you do what you do". "All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them". "First, think. Second, believe. Third, dream. And finally, dare".” She looks up at the audience. Stares each graduate in the eye.

“Always dare to be different. Dare to have faith. And dare to dream. Thank you.”

——————-

“When I call your name, graduates please come collect your diploma and pause for a picture. Families refrain from applause until all names have been called.”

Aricka already knew her family would ignore that- you try telling angels what to do. She knew how hard it was from personal experience.

“Olivia Anderson… Howard Bradenton…. Aricka Campbell….” As soon as her first name left the principal’s mouth, she heard that same section of bleachers explode in cheers, appease, whistling and stomping of feet.

“GO ARICKA!”

“SHE’S OUR SISTER!”

“WE LOVE YOU ARICKA!”

She blushes and apologizes to the principal, but a proud smile was on her face the remainder of the ceremony.

Aricka Winchester was loved. And she had the proof to show it.

Oh; and right before Samandriel went to get his diploma, he grabbed her; dipped her: and kissed her in front of the entire class of 2020, the staff, and every person in the gymnasium.

Yeah. She was definitely, completely, and totally, loved.

———————————

Aricka stood in the receiving line, Samandriel having “poofed” their diplomas to their shared room at the bunker, butterflies in her stomach as she waited to see who the first person of her family to emerge from the school would be.

…. And to nobody’s surprise; the first person was Dean. Her Dean. Neither of his AU counterparts, but the brother who had stepped up and taken care of her since she was four. The oldest Winchester immediately wrapped his baby sister in the biggest hug imaginable, one hand cradling her head against his shoulder like she was little again. No words were needed, but Dean still spoke. “I am so proud of you kid. The proudest. You worked so hard and now you’re here.”

Aricka soaked up every word, knowing Dean rarely got this emotional nor said this type of thing often; so she absorbed it like the sponge she was. “I meant it. I love you D.”

“Love you, short-stuff.” She giggled and he moved down the line. She was then swept off her feet by one very strong and tall and emotional Moose-brother of hers.

“SAMMY-!” She shrieks, laughing as he sets her down.

“She did it-!! You did it-!” She was nearly blinded by the megawatt smile Sam had on his face. “I’m proud of you squirt. I knew you could do it.”

“You were right Sammy. You were right.” She throws her arms around his middle and squeezes tightly, feeling his hand on the back of her head, the other around her shoulders. “I love you.”

Next was Adam; and he didn’t say a word as he tugged her in for a signature Adam hug. The two siblings simply held on to each other like cling wrap, Aricka’s face pressed into Adam’s shirt and his into the shoulder of her gown, eyes closed and hearts basically beating in sync as they stood there hugging. Aricka’s arms were under his, her chin resting on her own hand. Adam had one arm around her neck, the other firmly around her waist, this was a firm hug, a solid reminder that she still had him, and vice versa. “I love you,” was felt; not said in this moment.

Adam let go, and she was instantly pulled into four arms- Donna and Jody. Her honorary and true moms. She clung to them tightly and closed her eyes again, burrowing into their holds. “Oh baby…” Jody says.

“Great job pumpkin.” Donna kisses her forehead.

“Mom… mama.. I did it!”

“You sure did, and we’re so proud of you.”

“So proud.”

The next four in line were her brothers- from two different universes. First were the older two- versions of her brothers in a universe where they were heirs to a prestigious hunting corporation. In this universe they went by the aliases of Clay Forester and Alec Priestly.

“C’mere you-!” Alec- or Dean- said, reaching and grabbing her in for an almost rib-crushing hug, making her giggle. “You did that-! That speech was awesome.” She smiled- some things wouldn’t change, even in different universes.

“You should be proud of yourself,” Clay says- aka Sam. “I know I am.” The words made her smile. Just like her Sam, he scooped her off her feet, and she kicked them up in the air, sandals flopping lazily as she giggles.

“Clayyyy-!!!” He smacks a kiss onto her cheek and sets her down; the pair of them grinning wildly.

Then came two pairs of arms- one around her waist, the other around her neck. Her two little brothers- two versions of Sam and Dean from another universe Chuck destroyed. She wrapped her arms around each of them, tears flowing earnestly again, her little brothers almost overwhelming her with how much love she was feeling. “SIS!” 10 year old Sammy says. “You did it-!”

“You were so cool-!” 14 year old Dean added. She beams and hugs them again,

“Thanks guys. I couldn’t have done it without you.”

——————————-

“Alright! Winchester family! Line up for a family photo!” Uncle Bobby yells. They’d got their hug- Bobby roughly dragging her in for a moment and kissing the top of her forehead, the grizzly bear of a man whispering, “Congrats rugrat,” in her ear. He winked when she grabbed her little brothers’ hands and led them over to her five older brothers- Clay, Alec, Sammy, Dean and Adam. Her little brother Dean- nicknamed Jason- linked their arms together and little brother Sammy- aka Thomas/Tommy- jumped on her back, making her grunt but laugh as she wrapped her arms under his legs.

“Okay you guys-! Look at the camera-! 3-2-1 SMILE-!” Jody yells; and on cue all the Winchesters- this universe and the others- exclaim,

“CHEESE-!” Showing off exaggerated grins.

Then Aricka and Manny posed, once normal and one where Samandriel dipped her and kissed her, her holding her grad cap in her left hand tightly.

Aricka Winchester was ready to take on the world.

She’d saved it enough times, how hard would college be-?

[paradigmsofbrittaperry]

also if I can complain for a minute. WGI is the silliest little activity to get involved in because the cut off for participating in it is 22. you have to be 22 or under on April 1st of the year you’re marching. so it’s this silly little thing where if I’d been born literally two weeks later than I was, I would have two seasons of eligibility left. instead, because of where my birthday falls, I only get one more season. meanwhile, my friends with summer birthdays who are only a year and change younger than me get THREE more seasons because of the cutoff date. and I’m the only one of my friends who is my age - all of the others are either younger and have seasons upon seasons left to go or are older and have already aged out. so I am about to enter my unfairly early ageout year by myself, only having just found an organization that I love and feel safe in, knowing that my time is up and that I wasn’t able to get more time and experience due to a million things outside of my control. WGI and DCI are like thee only activities that you can pour your heart and soul into for years only to be too ancient for them at age twenty fucking two. like yeah I’ll keep teaching high school groups and probably start teaching an independent group once I age out, but it’s not the same. I’ll never get to perform again. I’ll still get the friendships and the bonds and the payoffs - but not the rehearsal grind or the fun of designing my performance hair and makeup or all of the things I’ve fallen in love with over the past five years. and it’s odd because I can’t help but compare myself to my elders and peers who climbed the ranks of the activity in a way I haven’t, even though I know that so much happened to me and I’m not to blame for my lack of opportunity/motivation/general will to keep going at certain points. however comma!! I still feel inadequate sometimes as an open class member when I’m on a staff full of people who marched world class groups. and still!! I have been told that I am one of the strongest and most resilient people in the activity because most who have been through a fraction of what I have quit before their time was up. and I know that’s true. I know how many people marched a shitty season and a half and then became ambivalent about marching again. I know how few people from my graduating class and past groups came back to try again, kept hope alive that there was a better place out there for all of us. AND I’ve been told time and time again by my few friends that have gone world class that all experience is valuable and that I wouldn’t be asked to be on staffs and help out other programs if I wasn’t knowledgeable and capable and had so much to offer. AND STILL. I lament not having more time to get better. more time to improve on my technical skills now that I’m finally out of survival mode and not dedicating all of my energy to healing unfair wounds. more time to enjoy finally being a member of an organization that I am proud of instead of one that I barely tolerate so that I can do the thing I love with my friends. the WGI system is unfair. groups punish you for exploring your options and auditioning multiple places. they use intimidation and fear to keep you trapped in the place you started. and, even if you start in an understanding group that lets you go out and explore while ensuring you will have a safety net, you may not have time to both find and enjoy the group that is right for you because of the ageout rule. 

(a bonus note on the ageout rule is that they extended it in 2022 to allow 23 and 24 year olds to march, since they’d gotten seasons taken away due to covid. I find this extremely unfair to this day, because I wasn’t an ageout when covid hit, but I lost a season and a half same as them. I fucking deserve that time back too you know!! it was taken from me too you know!!)

anyway. many words, did not intend to write this much, but tl;dr is that WGI is unfair and idk how my passion became the one thing that you can’t do anymore when you become an old obsolete bag of bones at the ripe old age of 22.

Accountancy vs. Economics: Which Class 11 Commerce Subject Should You Focus On?

Choosing the right subjects in Class 11 Commerce can shape your future, especially if you’ve opted for this stream through career counselling after 10th. Two core subjects—Accountancy and Economics—often leave students wondering which one deserves more focus. Let’s break it down.

Accountancy: The Backbone of Commerce

Accountancy is the art of recording, classifying, and summarizing financial transactions. In Class 11, you’ll learn the basics of bookkeeping, financial statements, and accounting principles. This subject is crucial if you aim for careers like Chartered Accountancy (CA), Cost Accounting, or financial management. It demands precision and a knack for numbers. If career counselling after 10th highlighted your strength in analytical thinking, Accountancy might be your forte.

Economics: Understanding the Bigger Picture

Economics, on the other hand, explores how societies manage resources. In Class 11, you’ll study microeconomics (individual markets) and macroeconomics (national economies), along with introductory statistics. It’s ideal for those interested in banking, policy-making, or business analysis. If career counselling after 10th revealed your curiosity about global trends and decision-making, Economics could be your focus.

Which Should You Prioritize?

Both subjects are foundational, but your choice depends on your career goals. If you’re leaning toward finance or auditing, prioritize Accountancy for its practical application. If you’re drawn to research, analytics, or policy, Economics will give you a broader perspective. Career counselling after 10th can help you align your interests with these subjects, ensuring you build a strong base for future success.

Final Thoughts Balancing Accountancy and Economics is key in Class 11, as they complement each other in Commerce. Revisit the insights from your career counselling after 10th to decide which subject aligns better with your long-term aspirations, and dedicate consistent effort to excel in both.

Effective Self-Study Strategies for CA Foundation Aspirants

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) conducted the CA Foundation, the entrance test for the Chartered Accountancy (CA) program in India. It's designed for students who have completed their Class 12th and wish to pursue their career in accounting, auditing, taxation, and finance.

The first step towards becoming a CA is passing the CA Foundation exam. Even though the CA Foundation exam is very difficult, it is not impossible to pass with a coach's help. In fact, thousands of students pass it every year using only self-study. This is a comprehensive analysis of the factors that make self-study so successful, especially at this stage of the CA journey.

Why Self-Study?

Understand the Exam Structure First

Build a Realistic Study Plan

Use the Right Study Material

Study Smart, Not Just Hard

Use Technology to Your Advantage

Take Care of Your Mental & Physical Health

Bonus Tips for Last 30 Days

Final Thoughts

Why Self-Study?

While coaching classes can be helpful, they aren’t mandatory. Self-study gives you:

Flexibility to study at your pace.

Freedom to choose your own resources.

Affordability, saving you from heavy tuition fees.

Most importantly, deeper understanding, as you’re doing the heavy lifting yourself.

But it only works if done smartly. Let’s dive into strategies to make it work.

Understand the Exam Structure First

Before planning your prep, understand what you’re preparing for. The CA Foundation exam includes:

Paper

Subject

Type

1

Principles & Practice of Accounting

Subjective

2

Business Laws & Business Correspondence

Subjective

3

Business Maths, Logical Reasoning, Statistics

Objective (MCQ)

4

Business Economics & Commercial Knowledge

Objective (MCQ)

 Each paper is for 100 marks. Negative marking exists for objective papers, so accuracy matters!

Build a Realistic Study Plan

Step 1: Know Your Timeline

Depending on your target attempt (May or December), calculate how many months you have left. Ideally, you should start at least 4-5 months in advance.

Step 2: Break Down the Syllabus

Group subjects based on difficulty and your comfort:

Start with Accounts and Law (require conceptual clarity).

Move to Maths/Stats gradually (can be tricky if you’re from a non-math background).

Keep English, BCK, and Economics as lighter study slots.

Step 3: Create a Weekly Schedule

Dedicate 6–8 hours daily (flexible based on your routine).

Keep 1 subject in focus per week, with 1-2 hours for revision of previously studied subjects.

Set weekly goals (e.g., complete 2 chapters of Accounts + 1 Law chapter).

Use the Right Study Material

For self-study, your best friends are:

ICAI Study Modules – Stick to them. They are exam-oriented and sufficient.

ICAI Practice Manuals – Solve every question without fail.

ICAI RTPs & MTPs – The Revision Test Papers and Mock Test Papers help you understand paper patterns.

Past Year Papers – Analyze what gets repeated, and how questions are framed.

YouTube Channels – Use trusted CA educator channels for concepts you find tough.

Pro Tip: Avoid hopping between too many books or resources. Stick to ICAI material + 1 reference if needed.

Study Smart, Not Just Hard

1. Active Learning Over Passive Reading

Make handwritten notes, apply principles to real-world situations, and go beyond simply reading chapters to gain a deep understanding of the material. It helps you become more proficient at memorization.

2. Use Charts & Flashcards

For Law, BCK, and Economics, prepare short summary charts or flashcards to revise key concepts, definitions, and sections.

3. Set Topic-Wise Deadlines

When studying for CA Foundation, the syllabus is vast, and it’s easy to feel lost. Instead of studying randomly, break it into smaller topics and set deadlines for each.

Example of Topic-Wise Deadlines:

 Accounting: Complete "Depreciation" by Monday

Law: Finish "Indian Contract Act" by Wednesday

Maths: Solve 50 MCQs on "Probability" by Friday

4. Mix Subjects

Studying different subjects instead of just studying the same type of subjects, which sometimes makes you feel bored and lose interest in the study. To keep your mind active and avoid boredom, mix different subjects while studying.

Example of Mixing Subjects in a Day:

Morning: Study Accounting (a practical and heavy subject)

Afternoon: Study Law (a theory-based subject)

Evening: Practice Maths MCQs (logical and fast-paced)

This avoids burnout and keeps your brain active.

Practice Is Key

For Subjective Papers:

Write full answers regularly, not just rough workings.

Time your writing. Try finishing a 100-mark paper in 3 hours at least once a week after 2 months of prep.

Review your answers and check where you lose marks — presentation, calculation, or conceptual error.

For Objective Papers:

Practice at least 100 MCQs per week.

Use OMR sheets and simulate the real exam environment.

Be cautious of negative marking — accuracy over guesswork!

Use Technology to Your Advantage

Instead of studying only from books, you can also use videos, apps, test series, and online groups to understand topics better and practice more.

When you're studying on your own, technology can be your best friend. It helps you learn faster, stay organized, and clear your doubts—all from the comfort of your home.

How Technology Helps in Self-Study:

Watch Video Lectures: You can learn tough concepts through online videos that explain topics in an easy-to-understand way.

Digital Notes & PDFs: Instead of carrying heavy books, you can read notes and materials on your phone, tablet, or laptop.

Practice Tests & Quizzes: Online tests help you check your preparation level, improve speed, and get instant feedback.

Doubt Solving: You can ask questions and get answers from fellow students or teachers online whenever you're stuck.

Study Planning Tools: Use digital calendars or apps to create timetables, set reminders, and track your study goals.

Take Care of Your Mental & Physical Health

Self-study can get lonely or stressful. So:

Take breaks: Don’t study all day without breaks. Your brain needs rest.

Stay active: Simple stretching, yoga, or walking clears the brain fog.

Sleep well: A sharp mind needs rest — avoid late-night cramming.

Revise. Revisit. Repeat.

The real magic of self-study lies in revision.

Use the 3R Formula:

Read – Learn the concept thoroughly.

Recall – Try to remember it without looking.

Revise – Go over the notes and test yourself again.

Plan for at least 2 full revisions before the exam, with the final week for solving mock tests and past papers only.

 Bonus Tips for Last 30 Days

Solve 2 full mock papers per subject (ICAI’s Series I & II).

Revise only summary notes, flashcards, and formulas.

Focus on accuracy and time management.

Don’t start any new topic last minute — revise what you already know.

Final Thoughts

Self-study is a challenge—but also your greatest teacher. It builds confidence, discipline, and deep subject clarity. With a structured plan, quality materials, consistent revision, and smart practice, you can crack the CA Foundation exam on your own.

Direct Tax Laws and International Taxation: This paper delves into the complexities of direct tax laws, including international taxation and transfer pricing.

Indirect Tax Laws: This paper focuses on Goods and Services Tax (GST) and customs law, which are crucial for understanding the indirect tax regime in India.

Preparation Strategies for the CA Final Exam

Successfully navigating the CA Final Exam requires meticulous planning, disciplined study, and strategic preparation. Here are some key strategies that can help candidates excel:

Comprehensive Study Plan: A well-structured study plan that covers all subjects and allocates sufficient time for revision is essential. Candidates should break down the syllabus into manageable sections and set achievable goals.

Understanding the Syllabus and Exam Pattern: Familiarity with the syllabus and the exam pattern helps in prioritizing topics and understanding the weightage of different sections.

Mock Tests and Past Papers: Practicing with mock tests and previous years’ question papers helps candidates understand the exam pattern, manage time effectively, and identify areas that need improvement.

Focus on Conceptual Clarity: Rather than rote learning, candidates should aim for a deep understanding of concepts. This approach not only helps in answering theoretical questions but also in solving practical problems.

Join Study Groups: Collaborative learning can be beneficial. Joining study groups allows candidates to share knowledge, discuss difficult topics, and gain different perspectives.

Seek Guidance: Professional coaching and guidance from experienced mentors can provide valuable insights and help in clarifying doubts.

Stay Updated: The field of accounting and taxation is dynamic, with frequent changes in laws and standards. Staying updated with the latest developments is crucial for success in the CA Final Exam.

Challenges and How to Overcome Them

The CA Final Exam is known for its rigor and high standards, which can pose significant challenges for candidates. Some common challenges include:

Vast Syllabus: The extensive syllabus can be overwhelming. Breaking it down into smaller sections and focusing on one topic at a time can make it more manageable.

Time Management: Balancing study time with other responsibilities requires effective time management skills. Prioritizing tasks and adhering to a strict study schedule can help.

Stress and Pressure: The pressure to perform well can lead to stress and anxiety. Regular exercise, meditation, and breaks during study sessions can help in managing stress.

Balancing Work and Study: Many CA aspirants are also working professionals. Balancing work and study demands disciplined time management and, sometimes, sacrifices in personal life.

Conclusion

The CA Final Exam is a gateway to a distinguished career in chartered accountancy. It demands dedication, hard work, and strategic preparation. While the journey to becoming a Chartered Accountant is challenging, the rewards, both in terms of professional opportunities and personal growth, are immense.

Perfect Strategy for CA Inter Preparation After CA Foundation

Clearing the CA Foundation exam is a significant milestone for every CA aspirant. However, the journey doesn’t stop there! The next crucial step is CA Intermediate, which demands a structured approach and dedicated preparation. Many students struggle to transition smoothly from Foundation to Inter due to a lack of proper planning. In this blog, we will discuss the best strategy to prepare for CA Inter effectively after clearing the CA Foundation exam.

Understanding the CA Inter Exam Structure

The CA Intermediate exam, conducted by ICAI, is a comprehensive and advanced-level test compared to CA Foundation. It consists of two groups, each with four subjects, covering Accounting, Corporate Laws, Taxation, Costing, Financial Management, and Auditing. To excel in CA Inter, students must focus on conceptual clarity, time management, and regular practice.

Why Early Preparation is Crucial?

Many students tend to delay their CA Inter preparation, believing they have enough time. However, the syllabus is vast, and last-minute studying can be overwhelming. Here’s why starting early is a game-changer:

Stronger Conceptual Clarity: Early preparation helps in understanding concepts deeply rather than memorizing.

Better Time Management: A well-structured study plan allows you to balance all subjects efficiently.

Less Stress & More Confidence: Consistent preparation reduces last-minute pressure and boosts self-confidence.

Ample Time for Mock Tests & Revisions: Starting early ensures you get enough time to solve mock tests and revise thoroughly before exams.

The Ultimate Study Plan for CA Inter Preparation

1. Join a Good CA Coaching Program

Enrolling in CA coaching classes is one of the best ways to stay ahead in preparation. A structured program with expert faculty will help you cover the syllabus systematically. With the rise of CA Online Classes, students can now prepare from the comfort of their homes, saving time and getting access to top educators.

2. Create a Subject-Wise Study Plan

Since CA Inter has two groups, it is essential to divide your preparation wisely:

Group 1 Focus: Accounting, Law, Taxation, and Cost & Management Accounting

Group 2 Focus: Advanced Accounting, Auditing, Financial Management, and Economics for Finance

If you have enough time, aim to clear both groups in one attempt. However, if managing both seems difficult, you can focus on one group at a time.

3. Set Daily & Weekly Study Goals

Allocate 6-8 hours daily for studies.

Dedicate each week to specific topics.

Revise the previous day’s topics before starting new ones.

Practice questions daily to strengthen problem-solving skills.

4. Regularly Solve Mock Tests & Past Papers

Mock tests and previous years' question papers are crucial for understanding the exam pattern and time management. Many CA Inter Online Classes offer test series and practice papers, which help students analyze their performance.

5. Focus on Conceptual Learning, Not Just Rote Memorization

CA Inter is more about application-based learning rather than direct theory. Subjects like Accounting, Costing, and Financial Management require problem-solving skills, while Law and Auditing demand conceptual clarity. Focus on why rather than just what while studying.

6. Revise Regularly

Revising is as important as learning new topics. Follow the 3-2-1 revision strategy:

Revise a topic within 3 days of studying it.

Revisit the same topic in 2 weeks.

Do a final revision before the exam.

This method ensures that you retain information for a longer period.

7. Strengthen Your Weak Areas

Every student has strong and weak subjects. Identify your weaknesses and work harder on them. Take help from CA Inter Online Classes or discuss doubts with mentors to improve your understanding.

8. Stay Consistent & Avoid Procrastination

Many students lose motivation or postpone studies, which leads to a pile-up of topics. Stay disciplined and follow your study plan diligently. Avoid distractions and unnecessary breaks that eat up your productive time.
