The CA Intermediate January 2026 results have once again highlighted the dedication and hard work of aspiring Chartered Accountants. Arzoo, a student of Physics Wallah (PW), has secured an impressive All India Rank 35, reflecting consistent preparation, discipline, and smart strategy.
Arzoo shared her subject-wise scores during an exclusive interaction:
Advanced Accounting: 84
Corporate and Other Laws: 65
Taxation: 64
Auditing: 79
Financial Management & Strategic Management (FMSM): 68
Costing: 76
Her consistent performance across subjects demonstrates a balanced approach rather than over-reliance on a single paper.
Arzoo revealed that she adopted a highly disciplined and structured preparation plan:
2x Playback for Recorded Classes: From the beginning, she decided to watch all PW recorded sessions at 2x speed, which allowed her to grasp concepts efficiently and save time for revisions.
Daily Routine: Classes started around 9 AM, with recorded sessions continuing alongside live classes. Each day included dedicated study hours, revisions, and practice tests, amounting to 10–12 hours of productive study daily.
Revisions: Arzoo revised each chapter two to three times thoroughly, with additional focus on important concepts during the final revision cycle.
Mock Tests and Practice Sessions: She completed all subject-wise mock tests (MTS) provided by PW, including both full-length and 50-mark tests. This helped her identify weak areas and improve speed and accuracy.
Arzoo emphasized the importance of fully utilizing PW resources, leaving nothing untouched. “I did everything PW offered—classes, revisions, mock tests, and concept sessions,” she said.
Arzoo highlighted that her initial goal was to clear the exam rather than targeting a top rank. She relied on consistent practice, strong basics, and systematic planning rather than shortcuts.
Consistency Across Subjects: She allocated balanced effort to all papers, avoiding undue stress on any single subject.
Family Support: Arzoo credited her family for motivation and support. Her parents, brother, and grandmother were by her side throughout the preparation.
Arzoo’s success story reflects a few key takeaways for future CA students:
Strong Basics Matter: High scores come from clarity in concepts, consistent revision, and disciplined practice.
Smart Use of Resources: Maximize all learning materials and mock tests provided by coaching platforms like PW.
Time Management: Structured study hours and smart scheduling can help cover the vast syllabus efficiently.
Balanced Mindset: Aim to clear exams first; ranks will follow as a natural outcome of consistent effort.
