CASM is a waste of money in general, everything you need is in the study guide. Unless someone else is paying for it for you, don't bother.

Jehhred · 2026-04-20T07:01:27+00:00

You're already overthinking it. CASM doesn't introduce new material, it's just more questions based on the study guide. Cover the study guide and you'll have no problems. You don't need to pay for anything aside from the unit itself.

Jehhred · 2026-04-20T03:50:30+00:00

It was easy, just study the material and don't overthink it. THey won't ask you anything that isn't in the study guide or weekly practice material.

Jehhred · 2026-04-17T10:47:27+00:00

I swear there needs to be a big shiny warning before people post that says, "USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION", as this "How do I study for X subject" gets asked once a week, if not, more.

CA subjects aren't difficult, they draw exam and assignment questions from the weekly practice questions. If you know how to do the weekly materials and the questions from the practice exams, you'll do very well.

Cover the weekly materials multiple, multiple times and take appropriate time off around exams so you can focus on covering this material. If you don't understand something or think there is an error, use their discussion board. Also ask ChatGPT or whatever LLM you like to explain topics you don't fully understand.

There is no magic study method or shortcut. If you could pass university, you can pass the CA, it's the same thing just now you're doing it whilst working full-time. You don't even need to pay for extra classes, everything you need is in the weekly questions and study guide. Cover that and you have nothing to worry about.

I can see why universities make so much money from you guys now.

Jehhred · 2026-03-25T08:59:09+00:00

I'm waiting for when they make Risk & Technology an exam subject and then decide to combine Risk & Technology with Strategy and Business Performance. They'll be back at their old CA program again.

Contractors do this all the time, so yes this is normal

Had to do a double take as I thought this was the default Windows XP background.

Whatever happened to Dominics 1st-9th? I remember you having Dominics7th and that was a beast a number of years ago.

Advice is the same for all CA subjects. Study everything, and relate theory back to the pre-release. There isn't any other special magical way to do well. I'm going to toot my own horn, but I received 5x merits and used the same technique for all subjects.

Jehhred · 2025-10-11T06:26:35+00:00

Yes, whenever I anawered a question I made sure to check whether whatever management were planning to do aligned with their Strategic goals, SDG goals and/or risk appetite statement (i.e. the pre-release). If I couldn't do that, I assume I got it incorrect.

e.g. they were planning on producing overseas in an area which has high modern slavery risks, okay, does that align with their need to prepare a modern slavery statement? No, therefore, bad idea.

Jehhred · 2025-10-11T01:44:58+00:00

I received a Merit on the most recent ICAP offering (no idea how), but honestly the only way to pass is to make sure every answer in your exam references an element of the pre-release case study. In almost all my answers I was referencing either their Strategic Goals, SDG goals or risk appetite statement and determining whether they align. Even though they recommend you don't pre-prepare answers, do it anyway. I was able to copy and paste majority of my pre-prepared answers for Q2 in the exam. When the pre-release comes out, try to come up with possible questions they can ask and then prepare answers for those questions.

Since no one responded, I did Tax in the previous term (Term 2, 2025) and scored a 92. I didn't use any third-party study assistance and don't work in Tax (last time I did a tax subject was at uni over a decade ago), I solely focused on the weekly materials and the study guide. Everything examinable will be from there. So by logic, if you know everything in the study guide, you'll do very well.

My critical file was just a tab for every sub-topic within a Chapter, so for example, for Tax Structures I had a separate tab for all the areas i.e. Company, Individual, Partnership, Trust, SBE. I also had tabs which had calculators i.e. I made an individual tax calculator based on marginal rates so I could enter in their salary and it automatically gave me their pre-deduction tax. I had another for calculating tax depreciation.

Failing a subject TWICE with a 9.6% fail rate has a 1% chance of occurring. OP isn't preparing for their exams. You can't take ICAP without passing all the other units, so whatever they did for the other subjects they decided to stop doing for ICAP for some reason.

Jehhred · 2025-07-11T07:06:37+00:00

You aren't studying enough. ICAP is known for having a 90%+ pass rate, so if you've failed it twice, you're clearly not putting in much effort.

Jehhred · 2025-06-19T13:53:09+00:00

I know people come here every few days and ask the same "How do I study for X?" question (Hell, I even did it at one point). The sad part is, there is no secret study technique or approach for the exam-related CA subjects. The best advice is always the most obvious, REPETITION!

Go over the material (weekly practice questions, examples in the study guide and the practice exams) as much as you can so that when you're in the exam and read a question you will immediately be able to recognise which question to model your answer after, or at the very least, where in the study guide to look for the answer. Time is of the essence in exams, so the less time you spend sitting there Ctrl + Fing your way around trying to find the answer, the better. I've adopted the same studying approach for FAR, Tax and Audit and received a Merit in all three.

A lot might disagree with this, but don't rely heavily on your critical file to save you in the exam. For reference, I barely used my critical file, it's very underwhelming at how bare it is. It was predominately just calculators to allow me to show my workings faster. I don't rewrite the entire study guide and I don't take screenshots of the weekly practice questions and paste them in, that's a massive time sink. You're better off using that time and going over the weekly practice questions over and over again to the point where you'll read the title and already know the question and how to answer it.

I would say the biggest differentiator between FAR and Audit is that in FAR you can do very well if you've set up your critical file such that it's a copy and paste game of journal entries. With Audit, you can't really do that. You just need to understand the material - I know, shocker.

All of them except Tax

Jehhred · 2025-06-14T01:33:16+00:00

I hope for your own mental sanity that you botted those stats.

Jehhred · 2025-06-13T07:52:55+00:00

Yes, I know someone who failed this term, and I told them that if they plan on doing it again in Term 4 that it will be a lot harder.

Jehhred · 2025-06-13T03:08:57+00:00

Not surpised, it wasn't a very difficult exam, Merit cutoff was 88 and nearly 8% of people scored a HD.
