Thank you

For Module-1, CSP Paper we should have good knowledge in Company Law, cos it is like extension to the Company Law, Concentrated more on Practical aspects
There are hardly some 150 Resolutions, given in Annexures, so make a habit of writing 2 Resolutions everyday and read them two times on the same day, just by reading the Resolutions (no matter how many times we read) we can not write well in the exams, so if we write it is better for us,moreover they will come as compulsory question for 20 Marks
For various procedures, just try to make them short and write them by using short cut words and key words, before starting CSP,brush up the basics of Company Law in CS Executive syllabus.
Try to get a firm grip on the first 12 topics out of 20(total topics) in CSP ICSI Study Material
For Drafting, It takes lot of time to write each and every agreement, so just focus on the contents of each agreement and try to cut short the agreement & note down the key terms(refer the enclosed attachment which I prepared for my June-2012 exams, 2 deeds for example, you will get some idea)
In drafting out of 140 Marks, they may ask agreements for 30 / 40 Marks, so emphasize on the other areas excluding agreements and 6 to 10 lessons consume less time to complete and will be asked for 50 marks at least, so study well and give at least 2 or 3 readings to other topics i.e., excluding agreements.
No one can 100% draft an agreement at student level(some exceptional people may do), try to build a draft & contents are very important(refer the enclosed attachment), each agreement study two times
For Module 3, Strategic Management, only paper where choice exceeds 140 marks, it will be asked for 160 Marks including choice, we need to attempt 100 Marks only.
In ICSI Study Material, Part-B & Part-C, less number of pages and together less number of pages when compared to Part-A, and two parts with less no. of pages contribute 60 Marks & part-A consumes more time and only 40 Marks, so give three readings to Parts B & C and two to part-A, try to score 40 at least out of 60(parts B & C) AND atleast 20 in part-A, then you will score around 55 to 60
Guidelines,Lesson Round-up and all such things are same like I suggested for Module 2, 4
Coming to ATL, No matter how many books one prepares, we can not predict what questions they ask in Direct Taxes, for those 30 Marks it may be time consuming if we prepare all the heads of income, for 30 marks even though how much we struggle, we may not score more than 20 marks, so study only ICSI Study material for direct taxes and dont refer some n number of books for the same
We know the boundaries in Indirect taxation & International Taxation, I mean if we prepare the Study material well, then we are sure of faring well in the exams because they are asking within the ICSI study material
Prepare perfectly those two parts and try to score atleast, around 40 to 45 out of 70 and rest of the 30 may give you 10 to 15 around
Dont neglect the problems in excise & customs, thorough with all the valuation rules and concepts which helps us in solving the problems and attempt the problems too in exam
We need to give repeated readings then only we can understand and interpret the provisions accurately and especially Customs & Excise
Whatever the plan I gave, its my personal opinion and thats how even I prepared and tasted success in first attempt, so make some changes as required and which may suit your style of preparation, everyone will have their own methodologies in preparation.
Try to prepare notes using key words and short cuts for all the topics if time permits
All the Best

Thanks & Regards
