Firstly, I feel very privileged and grateful for the support and recognition I received as CA Campus bursary student.

Having completed my undergrad on a high note (Cum Laude), scoring as high as 98% in third year, I was tempted to think CTA was going to be an easy task. I attempted Level 2 straight from undergrad and quickly realised how demanding it is. The struggle was real. I remember losing hope as early as Test 1. My Test 1 results were shocking, scoring as low as 20%. Sara (being my mentor) emphasized that I take it as a guide and re-strategise. I started following the CA Campus comprehensive study plan and everything started going well.

You realise IFRS 3 (Business Combinations) is a big jump from undergrad. Financial instruments and Share Based Payments are quite technical and challenging from the jargon and arithmetic side. You watch Bianca’s video lectures and study her detailed notes and everything starts making sense!!

You find TAX has lots of information and you can’t navigate the Legislation. Roulon makes it simple and interesting!

You start wondering why you bought Drury and Managerial Finance because every detail is in Sara’s notes and her tutorials are amazing.

You find you only need the ‘soft spoken’ Candice to help you with the technical application controls, substantive procedures, examination technique, question analysis etc. Tricky Auditing became a guaranteed pass throughout the year.

Thank you CA Campus, without you, I had no hope of passing CTA Level 2 first attempt. I highly recommend you to anyone who wants to successfully complete CTA.
