CA Final 100-Day Revision Plan
With first study done, 100 days becomes three compression cycles: a 45-day full revision, a 30-day test-driven second revision, and a 25-day mock marathon. Each cycle halves the time per chapter, forcing your notes to compress from chapters to pages to paragraphs.
Who it's for: Final repeaters and students whose first study is complete — 100 days of pure revision, testing and mock discipline before the attempt.

The schedule
Revision cycle 1 — full depth
All six papers in parallel: one practical + one theory chapter daily plus the tax evening track. Every chapter closes with 5 ICAI questions solved unseen. Build the one-page summary as you go.
Revision cycle 2 — test-driven
Chapter tests lead, reading follows: attempt the test first, revise only what you missed. Latest RTP and MTP for the attempt get solved fully in this window.
Mock marathon
Twelve timed mocks on alternate days in the real slot. Off-days: error log plus one-page summaries. Days 96–100: only summaries, amendment notes and sleep discipline.
A typical day
| Morning · 4.5 hrs | Practical paper revision + unseen solving |
| Afternoon · 3.5 hrs | Theory paper revision + writing practice |
| Evening · 2 hrs | Tax track (alternating DT / IDT) |
| Night · 45 min | Error log + amendment notes |
Rules that keep the plan alive
- Test-first revision beats read-first revision — retrieval is the study method, not the assessment.
- Your one-page summaries are the only material allowed in the last 5 days.
- Amendments for your attempt take absolute priority in tax and law papers.
- Repeaters: diagnose the last attempt honestly — marks lost to presentation and time need mock practice, not more reading.

Talk to usHow many revisions does CA Final need?
Three is the working consensus: one full-depth revision, one test-driven revision, and one mock-anchored speed revision. Each cycle should take roughly half the time of the previous one.
How is a repeater's plan different from a first-timer's?
A repeater's bottleneck is usually presentation, speed or specific weak papers rather than coverage. This plan front-loads testing so weaknesses surface in week one, not in the exam hall.
What should the last 10 days before CA Final look like?
Summary sheets, amendment notes, case-study digests and full-length sleep. New questions in the last days damage confidence without adding marks.
