If Audit keeps landing in the 20s and 30s for you, and you have already “tried everything your own way”, the problem is usually not your English, and it is not your handwriting. It is how you are studying. The good news is that this is fixable, and students have done it: Omesh Tawani went from 19 to 75 in Audit, Pratham from 31 to 67, and Diwakar from 32 to 64.

Watch it, or read it. Your choice.

The four mistakes that keep Audit marks low

1. Studying at an extreme

Some students live on overviews. They skim, they never really understand the concept, and they do not retain it. So they misread questions, they cannot write proper answers, and they lose marks in MCQs too.

Other students go to the opposite extreme and try to memorise every word and every sentence. They believe an answer is only good if it matches the Question Bank answer line for line. It feels great at first. Later you find that only 30 to 40% of the course is covered, multiple revision is out of the question, you keep forgetting, and confidence never arrives.

The answer is the middle approach:

• Understand the concept, and add the WHY. What is this concept, and why does it exist?
• Build a memory pattern. A story, a practical-life example, a chronological flow, image recognition, groupings, easy-to-difficult flow. There are many ways, and repeating the same thing again and again is not one of them.
• Identify the keywords.
• Write in your own language plus the keywords.

The secret to success: good concepts, good memory patterns, good keywords, and writing in your own language with those keywords. Do not try to write it “as it is”.

2. The wrong diagnosis

Ask a student why marks did not come and you usually hear: “Sir, I didn’t present properly. Just a little problem in answer writing.” But everyone can read, understand and write English. If you are scoring in the 20s and 30s, and your MCQs are not scoring either, the honest diagnosis is that the concepts are not clear and the retention is not there. Fix retention with memory patterns and the answers improve on their own.

3. No multiple revisions

Students spend so long trying to make the first reading perfect, often from the module or from very thick books, that the course does not even finish, let alone get revised two or three times. The fix is a medium-size book: one that covers every corner of the module, carries the memory patterns, and is small enough to revise again and again, with the content written as own language plus keywords. In our batches we teach from the FADU chart book and the Bhaskar concept book; the charts in both are almost the same.

4. Mindset

Many students run away from Audit. Half an hour in, they fall asleep. Change the lens: this subject lets you catch big frauds, build a practice, and reach a strong position in your career. Enjoy it and take an interest in it. Students who do end up studying Audit for whole days and enjoying it.

And if your method has not worked for two or three attempts, the method has to change. As the saying goes: if you want to achieve something you have never achieved, you will have to do something you have never done.

The Jan 2027 Audit strategy: four revisions

Revision 1: 80 to 100 hours

• At 5 hours a day this takes about 20 days; at 4 hours a day, about 25 days.
• Do the easy chapters first: Chapters 1, 2, 6, 7, 8 and 11 (module numbering). Roughly 50 to 60 marks out of 120 come from these, they finish quickly, and the confidence carries you.
• Then the challenging ones: Chapter 4, then 5, then 10, then 3, then 9.
• Use the Must Do Concepts list on auditguru.in. It is built from recent RTPs and MTPs, so you know which concepts are being asked as MCQs and as questions.
• In this revision, cover all the concepts and try all the questions.

Revision 2: 40 to 50 hours

Four hours a day for 10 days, or two hours a day for 20 days. Revise every concept again, but now do only the important questions. Recall matters most here: if your flow and memory patterns are set, recall becomes easy. After this revision, write a paper.

Revision 3: about 25 hours

All the concepts again, plus only the difficult questions, the ones that troubled you. Then write another paper.

Revision 4: about 25 hours, the final one

Your last revision before the exam. Revise, and then the next paper you write is the exam itself. Do these four revisions and you will do amazing.

Should you take a batch?

If you have tried your own way two or three times and the marks are not moving, listen to someone properly and change the approach. Our Exam Oriented (EO) batch covers all 11 chapters and all concepts, plus the full Question Bank, with DPQ writing, portion-wise tests and full-course tests. Two lectures a day finishes it in about 15 days; one a day in 25 to 30.

The new EO Plus batch adds the Regular lectures for ₹500 extra, with three months’ access. Watch the Regular lectures for your weak chapters and the EO lectures for your strong ones.
