CPT is an entrance exam for charted account course (CA). It is an entry level test having four subjects. The subjects are Accounting, Mercantile Laws, General Economic and Quantitative Aptitude.

Now 10+2 pass student can register for CPT and after clear this test he/she is eligible for CA course. The student who has higher degree like B.com, M.Com, ICWA etc, also eligible to give this test.
The CA – CPT exam is conducted twice in a year. The CA – CPT exam is held in first Sunday in June and December in every year. The date schedule is fixed for the CA – CPT exam. The candidate who is unable to clear the CA – CPT exam in first attempt need not to worry about it, he/she is able to make new chances after six month later. There is no long one year duration for appearing in CA – CPT exam.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR CPT?
1.For all subjects
Read module carefully and prepare ur own short and sweet notes. Prepare ur notes after understanding in depth. Use these notes for revision purpose. Solve all the previous exam questions chapter- wise. ie complete one chapter with ur notes and then solve the question papers. While solving the question papers do not see the given answers. Firstly give ur answer and then compare the same with suggested given answer. Do this for each chapter. After completing whole chapters and all syllabus be prepare for self test which is similar to final exam.ie Use previous question papers and solve it within the given time(Do this assuming that u r appearing for the final exam ). After observing and solving previous question papers u will come to know that what is imp. for theory and practical and u definitely get an idea of format of question papers linking with each chapter. That means on which chapters questions are mostly asked. Have group discussions with CPT appearing/passed students.
Do not solve directly objective type questions. Firstly absorb the chapter in detail.
Be habitual of solving at least 100 objective questions regularly so that in one month u will cover near about 3000 objective questions.
Do not be hurry while selecting the alternative from the given options, firstly understand the question and then match ur required answer from alternatives.
Sometimes it is observed that students take much times in confusing questions. Do not waist ur valuable time, firstly solve the questions on which u have more confidence.
For QA.(Maths)
Please note that there is no mark for steps. So try to solve by Direct method. eg solution for x+y=2 and x-y=0 Answers are given in questions so select it from given options. Ans options1.(1,0) 2.(0,0) 3.(1,1) 4. non of above. Here just put given values of alternatives in the equation whichever option is satisfying equation will be the required answer. In above example answer is option 3. as 1+1=2 and 1-1=0 hence there is no need to solve it by usual methods. This method is not possible everywhere but is possible in many cases. IF u r much confident then start Maths at first otherwise at last.
For law:
U will understand it by studying case laws so grasp definitions and various sections.
For ECo.
Figures such as growth rate of a particular year, industrial growth rate, what was target and actual. Grasp all the Definitions and concepts.
For Account.
Give ur max. time to clear concepts. Grasp here what is practically and what is theoretically important. Take suggestions and tips from those who have passed CPT. Take their interviews.
I wish you all the best...

Harsha....
