CA Foundation January 2026 Exam: Last 45 Days Strategy

CA Foundation January 2026

Just forty-five days remain before the January 2026 CA Foundation Exam - it feels overwhelming considering everything to learn, doesn’t it? Perhaps a moment to simply breathe is what’s needed. Get set in roughly six weeks - shoot for more than fifty points. We’ll map this out together.

Reality Check: What's Possible in 45 Days?

If You've Completed 70%+ Syllabus: You can definitely clear with good scores. These 45 days are for revision, practice, and perfection.

If You've Completed 40-70% Syllabus: It's tight but doable. You'll need intense focus and smart topic selection.

If You've Completed Less Than 40%: Be realistic. Focus on high-weightage topics. Aim to pass, not to top.

Common 45-Day Mistakes to Avoid

Trying to cover everything equally: Focus on high-weightage topics. Be strategic, not perfectionist.

Not taking mock tests: Mock tests are mandatory. They build exam temperament.

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.
