Dear Zain !
First of all, you should not get desparate about your papers so much coz students usually think like that even after attempting 100% paper. ICAP is not the enemy of student ! It seeks for the best surely, but does'nt forgets that "To Be The Best" is an exceptional case. It's meant, if you are near the best, you deserve to be a Chartered Accountant. If you have attempted atleast 75% paper correctly but relevant than you will get it passed; no doubt !
As far as, your asked question to get coaching again is concerned; it depends upon you. If you think and have observed that you could not develope your concepts adequately, than you must get the coaching again. If you think, that the concepts were built up by you but still you could'nt attempt the paper satisfactorily; than it means; you did'nt maintain the repetition of your learned material upto the required extent you needed. What may be the required extent; depends upon the person's past experience. So, be clear and think whether, you could'nt maintain your repetition, or could not build up the concepts adequately.
ALWAYS REMEMBER ! PRACTICE MAKES THE MAN PERFECT ! WHETHER IT'S THEORY, NUMERICAL, VISUAL, PRACTICAL OR SOMETHING ELSE, YOU NEED PRACTICE.
I would like to clarify and support my above argument also. Consider, your childhood when you were learning how to drive the bike. First, you could have learned how to sit on it and tried to start the bike. Sometimes, you thought to leave it as you could'nt have been able to still start the bike in first attemp as usually others do. But, you would'nt have left to learn. Instead, you would have kept trying again and again to start it in first attempt like others, and then learnt how to handle the gears, clutch and break system while driving. You would've tried a lot of time but could'nt have driven it smoothly. Sometimes, it would've happend that you had to meet small accidents resulting the bike getting damaged a little bit. But, still, you could'nt left it like that. You could have than learnt steadily that how to drive the bike on the road but would have faced difficulty in facing the flow of traffic. After driving and driving; it would have been passed at least two or three months or may be one month only that you had better grip and control over the bike to drive it smoothly on the road alongwith better handling to face the flow of traffic and in this way you would have started driving the bike. And now you can do it anytime whenever you like or need. But don't forget; you keep it driving once or twice a day or week; which refreshes again and again your learnt skills of driving the bike and you may feel as if you have done it and don't practice any more. But actually, whenever, some person drives or you drive, actually, it repeats; and gets it's skills and learned things to get firm and engraved into his/her mind, hands, thinking etc...
In the same way, humans also learn. So, I would suggest, attend your lectures regularly and focus on the material during lecture to get a strong idea about what is it. Then, in home, again read it and memorize it. But don't forget to keep memorizing within one month again to refresh it. Be clear, concrete and concise in writing. Because, often a lot of people use very much verbose way to describe something which can be described in just two or three lines. For example, consider one the topic "Determinants of Price Elasticity of Demand" and ponder upon it how I reduce the words but write it perfectly relevant conveying the full information within just three minutes.
Consider the following how the students write usually.
<font color="red">"Nature of products also plays a vital role in determining the elasticity of demand of a product. For example, if the nature of product is such that it's considered to be one of the basic necessaries of life than it's demand would be highly inelastic coz, it will be demanded still although a little bit less quantity if it's price increases. And the luxuries have the elastic demand because, it's not one of the basic necessaries of life. Only the people having ample money buy them usually with a view to maintaining the status symbol or they are fond of having such kind of things."</font id="red">
So, now consider the following How the above can be written just in few words conveying the full information.
<font color="green">
Nature of products counts much as demand for some goods is inelastic and does'nt change much with change in price e.g. necessaries of life as compared to luxuries of which demand is generally elastic.
</font id="green">
So, in this way, try to reduce the words which are unnecessary to describe the samething so that you could achieve the professional leve in writing the material more effectively and could solve the paper in better quantity.
Well, in the end; what you need is; you have to assess whether your concepts are built adequately then no need to have coaching anymore; just repeat and try to have a strong grip over the learned material. If not; then take the coaching again and maintain your repetion also.
That's all about what I think and have done for passing Module A & B and now I'm in Module C. Many others may not agree with me as everyone has different mental level, memory level as well as intelligence and pick up quality. May be it could help you !
Adeel !
