8–12 hrs self-study

Abdul Muaz |
“This was my first attempt. It took me four years to complete the course. I was just expecting to clear the exam, not to top. I used to devote 8–12 hours every day to self-study. Spending time with my family helped me release stress. Consistency was my success mantra.
I live in Jehangirabad, Bhopal, with my father Abdul Mehboob, who works at BHEL, and my mother Shahnila Mehboob, a homemaker. I am the first CA in my family. I will take up a job after completing my articleship in February.”

My expectations were quite low. I was hoping to clear the exam but was doubtful about one or two subjects. My father Waseem Khan is a businessman and my mother, Sabnam Khan is a homemaker. This was my first attempt and I am CA in my family.
I studied for 10 -12 hours every day during examinations. Revision is my success mantra. Spending some time on Instagram and talking to parents and friends were ways of combating stress. I am planning to start my own business of tax consultancy
