what is the new rules about passing the cpt..Could u please provide to me the details

My friend

There are two crucial ingredients to passing your CA exams - know your subject and know the exam technique.

These four-times-a-year exams are recognised throughout the industry and as such have to be of a regular and consistent standard. There isn't much room for imagination with the exam, which involves following a tried and tested format taking you through widely acknowledged accountancy tasks.

Just like accountancy itself the exam is very formulated with little changing over the course of time, with the goal being to produce accountants who are comfortable, familiar and very able to understand and interpret accountancy figures.

A 50% score is required across the four papers to pass the exam which gives every student an achievable goal before continuing on with their on-the-job education throughout the industry.

One area to be clear about and to avoid guesswork is that wrong answers will result in points being deducted from your score.

There is no secret or surprise element to this exam with four main topics covered - accounts, mercantile law, economics and combined maths and statistics.

Each topic covered makes up roughly 25% of the paper with little variation from that to ensure that each candidate is tested and has a good grasp and understanding of the general subjects that are the backbone of accountancy.

Although there are four topics within the exam, there is no individual marks awarded - the exam is made up of 200 marks overall with 100 required as a pass.

There are numerous online study sources as well as traditional text books that cover all four topics and re-enforce your in-class learning. Answers are definite with no room for interpretation, ensuring that candidates express themselves in a clear and concise manner.

Dear,

CPT stands for common proficiency test. It is considered to be the first step towards CA certification. After qualifying this exam you will be qualified to write IPCC exam which is second step for CA certification.
To write this exam you should have passed your 10th Grade,then you can register with the CA institute.You can register after 10th but you will be allowed to write this exam only after completing your 12th.CPT exam is conducted twice in a year i.e. in June and December.

There will be two papers of 100 marks each.
1st paper:

• Accounts= 60 marks.
• Law= 40 marks.

2nd paper:

• Economics= 50 marks.
• Mathematics=50 marks.

Questions will be objective type,there is 1 mark for every right answer and a negative marking of .25.The overall passing cut-off across 2 papers is 50%. There will not be any sectional cut-offs.

If you want to become a CA but don't want to write PT exam you cango for graduation after 12th. After that you will be directly allowed to write IPCC.

Hard work and planning up is the only way to pass this exam.You can join any coaching for proper guidance and practice tests which is very necessary as negative marks may decrease your marks so you need to practice to avoid such mistakes.

All the best!
