CA Foundation January 2026 Exam: Last 45 Days Strategy

CA Foundation January 2026 Exam

You have 45 days left before the January 2026 CA Foundation Exam. Are you feeling overburdened by the four disciplines and extensive syllabus? Remain calm. If you follow the appropriate plan, you can prepare effectively and score 50+ in 45 days. Let's develop a winning strategy for you.

Reality Check: What's Possible in 45 Days?

You can undoubtedly pass with decent grades if you have completed 70% or more of the syllabus. These 45 days are dedicated to revision, practice, and excellence.

It's difficult yet possible if 40–70% of the course material has been completed:  You'll need to pick your topics carefully and maintain extreme attention.

If you've completed less than 40%, be reasonable:  Focus on the relevant topics.  Try to pass rather than top.

Typical 45-Day Errors to Avoid

Striking an even distribution of coverage:  Pay attention to important subjects.  Don't be a perfectionist; be strategic.

Absence of practice exams:  Mock exams are required.  Exam temperament is developed by them.

Studying till last moment: Day before exam should be complete rest.

Panicking: 45 days is enough if used wisely. Stay calm and execute the plan.

Ignoring health: Don't compromise sleep. 7 hours minimum. Sick students can't write exams.

The Minimum Pass Strategy

If you're really short on time, here's the minimum coverage needed for passing:

• Accounts: Partnership + Company basics = 40 marks 

• Law: Contract + Sale of Goods + Partnership = 35 marks 

• Maths: TVM + Logical Reasoning + Basic Stats = 45 marks 

• Economics: Demand-Supply + Markets + National Income = 40 marks

• Total: 160/400 = 40% (Passing marks!)

But aim higher. With 45 days, you can score 50-60% easily.

The Bottom Line

Forty-five days is a short time but it's NOT impossible. Thousands of students clear CA Foundation with 45-day preparation. The key is intensity, focus, and smart topic selection.

Don't waste these precious days. Start today, stay consistent, take mock tests seriously, and trust the process.
