CPT is an entry level exam for admission to the Chartered
Accountancy course. A student can register for the test after passing 10th
class by filling up the CPT registration form and submitting the requisite
fees. CA being every commerce student's aspiration is a tough course to enter.
The CPT exam tests the student for aptitude and ability to do the course.
Registration begins after class 10th but student can sit for
the exam after class 12th.The registration is valid for 3 years after which it
has to be re validated. A student who has got his CPT registration 60 days
prior to the first day of the month in which CPT examination is to be held I.e.
on or before 1st April and 1st October, can appear in the CPT examination to be
held in June and December respectively.
CPT syllabus consists of a single paper which has four
sections. The paper carries total marks of 200. Section A is Fundamentals of
Accounting which carries 60 marks, Section B is Mercantile Law which carries 40
marks, Section C is General Economics which carries 50 marks and Section D is
Quantitative Aptitude which carries 50 marks.
The best methods for CPT preparation are self study,
coaching and online tutorials. Self study is for students who are confident
they can manage on their own and have a strong knowledge base. Coaching is for
aspirants who like studying in groups and need systematic and guided
preparation. The coaching will prepare you for the pattern of exam, the kind of
questions asked, how to answer questions and time management. The faculty is
experienced and well researched to guide you through. There is also the
advantage of studying with other students who build a fairly competitive
environment.
Online tutorials or courses come to help when you want to
gain additional knowledge. Most online courses are step by step guides with
easy to understand examples, animations and digital notes to help a student
reinforce learning. The practice tests available online keep the student agile.
These courses help you to evaluate your progress and give you the convenience
to study at your own pace.
Whatever is the mode of study used, one thing to remember is
you should also learn to manage your time to complete the two sessions within 2
hours each. Since there is negative marking, you should take care not to guess
the answers. The required questions from each section should be answered. Last
but not the least, confidence in yourself gives you an extra edge to compete.
