ICAI’s past exam papers, RTPs (Revision Test Papers), and MTPs (Mock Test Papers).

This blog gives you a structured roadmap to make the most of these resources, boost your exam readiness, and avoid last-minute panic.

2. Why Practice Matters in Financial Reporting

Financial Reporting tests not only your theoretical knowledge but also your ability to handle case-based questions, application of standards, and time management. CA Final Financial Reporting Practice Plan with ICAI resources can help you:

• Understand how Ind AS concepts are tested
• Identify frequently repeated questions or patterns
• Improve presentation and time allocation skills
• Reduce exam anxiety through simulation

3. Step-by-Step FR Practice Strategy

3.1 Start with Past Papers (Last 5–6 Attempts)

• Focus – Question trends, recurring Ind AS topics, marks weightage
• Tip – Solve them by hand in an exam-like setting
• Target Topics – Ind AS 110 (CFS), 103 (Business Combination), 115 (Revenue), 109/32 (Financial Instruments)

Pro Tip – Analyse how marks are allocated for working notes and presentation—ICAI values structured answers.

3.2 Use RTPs to Cover Amendments & New Questions

• Focus – Updated Ind AS interpretations, recent exam trends
• Source – May & Nov RTPs from the past 3 years
• Tip – Create a list of newly tested areas and integrate them in your revision

Pro Tip – Don’t just read RTPs—write down answers and compare them with ICAI’s suggested solutions.

3.3 Simulate with MTPs

• Focus – Time-bound performance, pressure handling
• Attempt at least 3 full-syllabus MTPs
• Evaluate your speed and accuracy

Pro Tip – Use the same paper-checking approach ICAI uses to self-evaluate or have a mentor do it.

3.4 Revise Using Topic-Wise Question Banks

After solving full papers, use question banks like Taxmann’s CRACKER for Financial Reporting for:

• Chapter-wise practice
• Previously asked ICAI exam questions with answers
• Integration of ICAI Study Material and Suggested Answers

4. Weekly Practice Planner Example

• Ignoring older RTPs assuming they are outdated
• Relying only on scanning solutions—write and practice
• Not reviewing errors and improving weak areas
• Practising without a timer
