Hi all, this post is more specific for CA inter students only, as i have shared my certified answer sheets of 3 attempts. The link of such sheets is same as provided by ICAI. Hence it is accessible only till it is stored at ICAI's cloud. Via RTI, one can ask for thei certified copies once results is declared. It takes 15-20 days to arrive link of copies on email. And costs ₹10 only for whole.
I struggled to pass sometime in aggregate and sometime in individual paper too. I never studied FM, except for my last attempt of Inter in Sept 24. Apart from that, i only took classes for costing from CA Nitin Guru sir (Edu91), and always scored well 50+. Worst part about costing paper is ki u can't write full 100 marks paper if your writing and understanding speed is not very fast. I hardly attempted more than 80 marks paper anytime. Out of which, i always attempted 20 marks theory question in costing, FM and all such practical subjects where one theory question is given.
For most of tye subjects, i referred revision videos on youtube and ICAI module. For audit, i scored 30 in 1st attempt, then 48 and then 68 in 3rd and last attempt. What i did in 3rd attempt was studied line by line of module. Haven't watched any videos. Mapped chapter wise and SA wise content. Did daily revision of few chapters an selected topics like bank audit, CARO 2020, Audit Report chapter.

Conclusion
Studying is one thing and passing ICAI exams is another. Luck also matters, bcoz sometime your answer is totally correct, but examiner did not allot any marks for it. Sometime no questions from your strongest chapter.
Keep studying, remain calm, and have trust & faith in yourself and that superior power ia important in whole journey.
Ashish is always open for doubts and queries.
Regards!
