I’m Anjali Mehta, currently preparing for CA Final May 2026, and I’m really struggling to strike a balance between my demanding articleship and dedicated study hours. We’re in the thick of statutory audits and tax audits right now, often working late into the night, sometimes even on weekends to meet client deadlines. By the time I get home, I’m completely exhausted, and the thought of tackling subjects like Financial Reporting or Strategic Cost Management and Performance Evaluation feels overwhelming. I’m worried about the massive syllabus and losing momentum, especially when a good chunk of my day goes into work. To those who’ve cleared Final, how did you manage to consistently put in a solid 3-4 hours daily alongside an intensive articleship, especially during peak audit seasons? Are there any specific strategies or time management techniques that helped you avoid burnout and ensure timely syllabus completion for your Final exams?
