How to Use the Suggested Answers
Do not just read the answers from start to end. Use them to find your gaps with these steps.
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Read your September 2026 question paper and recall what you wrote |
| 2 | Check your multiple choice answers against Part I and count your correct ones |
| 3 | For each descriptive question, compare your answer with ICAI’s and note the points, steps or sections you missed |
| 4 | Estimate your marks honestly, then compare the estimate with your actual marks |
| 5 | Decide whether your gap is in practice or in concepts, and plan your revision around it |
Suggested answers show one accepted way of answering. Use them to learn the approach and the key points, not to count exact marks.
