Yash Chahar from Rewari, Haryana, scored 70+ in every CA Inter subject and 83 in Audit, a subject he feared the most at the start. He learnt Audit from CA Ravi Taori, revised the chart book many times over, listened to Ravi Sir's audio revision every day and wrote three to four answers daily from the first chapter. He focused on keywords and flow instead of mugging up the module word for word.

How did Yash Chahar plan his CA Inter preparation?

Yash says planning mattered most: he set long-term targets first and broke them into small plans as time went on.

He first fixed what had to be finished in the next three months, then made smaller plans inside that. He started out planning for both groups. When his schedule fell apart and the stress kept rising, he decided to give one group and focus fully on three subjects instead of just scraping through six.

His classes were fully online. He tried to touch four subjects a day and watch four lectures, each of about two hours fifty minutes. That came to nearly 12 hours of classes, starting at 6:30 in the morning and ending around 8:30 at night.

How did Yash stay focused through long online classes at home?

He studied at home but did not study alone: a few friends kept him going, and one full day off every week kept him fresh.

A friend was taking the same subject from the same teacher, so the two kept checking on each other: how many classes did you watch today? He also explained topics to friends, including one in Foundation. In his words, even if he knew less, at least his own revision got done.

Basketball in the evening, and meeting school friends when the day felt heavy.
One day a week with no study at all: time with friends and full sleep.
Real interest in the subject, plus the commitment to do it properly once he had decided to.

How did Yash score 83 in CA Inter Audit?

By revising Ravi Sir's Audit chart book again and again, and by never letting old chapters slip out of touch.

Yash had already seen in another subject how charts shrink a 300–400 page module into a few dozen pages, which means many more revisions in the same time. When he learnt that Ravi Sir has a chart book for Audit, about 80 pages, he chose it. He could finish one round in about four days and estimates 15–20 revisions. Ravi Sir, doing the maths with him, settled on at least 10.

He listened to Ravi Sir’s audio revision every day to stay connected with each chapter.
For chapters already done, he read only the bold headings, so he always knew what each topic was about.
The “Amrit points” (key point summaries) from class and the flow inside each chart, such as past year, present year, future year, helped him retain concepts.

Did Yash mug up the ICAI module language for Audit?

No. He focused on keywords and flow, and wrote most answers in his own language with the important terms.

Yash knew that chasing word-for-word perfection would never work and would only bring stress. He focused on the keywords highlighted in class or marked by him while reading, and on how the points flow. If a chart had four points, he made sure he remembered those four points.

While checking his answers, he did not try to match the suggested answer line by line. He made sure his answer touched every point the suggested answer touched. For him, that was a perfect answer.

How did Yash practise answer writing for CA Inter Audit?

He wrote about 10 questions from every chapter, three or four a day from the very start, instead of saving writing for the end.

He picked the top questions and the ones asked recently. He did not wait for a chapter to end, and never sat down to write 10 questions in one day.

In the exam he used the same structure for every answer, the way he did in Law:

Reference to the SA or section
What that provision says
The facts of the case in the question
Relating the two, then the conclusion

He left a line space between each part, so the flow was clear to the examiner.

What did Yash do just before and during the Audit paper?

In the last day and a half he went over the chart book, his marked questions and the RTP; in the paper he did MCQs first.

Before the paper, he did one overview of the chart book, then the questions he had marked as tricky, then the RTP. In the hall, he solved the MCQs first; they took him about 25–30 minutes.

For new or twisted questions, he says the concept is mostly what the module and the book teach, sometimes pushed a little further. Writing practice tells you how to answer. His aim was simple: even if full marks don’t come, get most of them, and never leave a question blank.

In Yash’s own words

“The two subjects I feared the most were Tax and Audit, and I scored the most marks in both of them.” (6:15)

“The biggest part is played by planning. Execution is one thing and planning is another: how you plan right from the start.” (6:44)

“If I started running after perfection, wanting every word and every sentence to match, it would never happen. It would only bring stress.” (18:51)

“I did not wait for the chapter to end to start writing. From the beginning, three questions a day, some days four, so the flow stays.” (20:53)

“I listened to your audio revision every day, so I stayed connected with the chapter and the subject and did not forget the earlier part while starting something new.” (21:39)

“One day a week was always a break. I did not touch anything at all.” (14:32)

Yash’s advice for students

Plan long-term targets first, then break them into small plans as you go.
Start answer writing from the first chapter: three or four questions a day.
Don't chase word-for-word answers; learn the keywords and the flow.
Keep one day a week fully off: meet friends and complete your sleep.
Never leave a question blank; even if full marks don't come, get most of them.
