The ExamSeries CA test series: the papers
The papers are the base of everything else, so they are built to feel like the real exam.
- Full-syllabus mock tests for every subject at each level, not chapter quizzes. Each paper is a complete paper you write in one sitting.
- Latest ICAI pattern and amendments. Every paper follows ICAI's current pattern, marks and time limits for your level, and is set for your attempt's amendments. How each level's paper is built is in our guides to the CA Foundation exam pattern, the CA Inter exam pattern and the CA Final exam pattern.
- Brand-new questions every attempt.
- Every topic covered, with more weight on what ICAI asks most, so the chapters ICAI tests most often carry more of your practice marks.
- Same difficulty as the real exam, so your score here is an honest preview of the day.
- Set by 15+ qualified CA faculty.
- All papers unlocked at once. Every paper in your plan opens the moment you buy. There are no fixed test dates: write each one whenever you're ready, any time till your exam.
Before you buy, each plan page lets you read preview pages of the first mock, so you can see the paper's level for yourself.
How ExamSeries works, step by step
The whole thing is four steps, and you can do every one of them on your phone.
- Buy a plan for your level and attempt. Payment is through Razorpay: UPI, cards or netbanking. Your plan opens on its own when the payment arrives.
- Write the paper by hand, in the real exam time, as if it were the exam. Start each answer on a new page and write the question number at the top, because checking follows those numbers.
- Upload one PDF. Click photos of your pages, make one PDF and upload it from the paper's page. Each paper shows its submission limit before you start, usually one, like the real exam. If something goes wrong while checking, the paper's page tells you, and uploading again doesn't use up a submission.
- Get your checked copy within 24 hours of your upload. It appears on the paper's page by itself, while the paper is still fresh in your mind.
Your answer sheets are private: only you can open them. The student guide walks through the same steps with screenshots.
What your checked copy shows
This is the part most students come for. Your own answer sheet comes back marked the way ICAI marks a copy:
- Marks for every step, written beside the step, the way ICAI gives step marks. Why step marks matter so much is explained in step marking in CA exams.
- A reason for every mark cut, in the margin, with the correct line you should have written.
- Points you missed, marked where they belonged.
- The question total circled, as on a real checked copy.
Every answer is checked against the official solution, question by question. You can see a real student's copy, marked line by line, on our example checked answer sheet (name and roll number hidden).
Your result page, question by question
Alongside the marked copy, your result opens in your student panel:
- Marks for each question and your total.
- Every mistake, pointed out where it is in your answer.
- The correct approach next to each mistake, so you know exactly what to write next time.
The topic-wise analysis report
With every checked paper you also get a report on the whole paper, so the next paper goes better than this one:
| Part of the report | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Score by topic, weakest first | A bar for every topic with your marks in it |
| What to work on first | The topics that cost you most, and why |
| Mistakes by kind | Which kind you make most: concept, calculation, working notes or presentation |
| What went well, and presentation tips | What to keep doing, and how to set out answers for more marks |
| Next step for each weak topic | One clear thing to do before your next paper |
Suggested answers and the official solution
- Official solution with every paper. It opens as soon as you buy, under the question paper, for as long as you have the plan. Write the paper first, then compare.
- Suggested answers with provisions and working notes, so you see how a full-marks answer is set out, not just the final figure.
If you also write ICAI's own papers, our guide on how to check your answers with ICAI suggested answers shows how to mark them yourself.
Personal study schedule and mentorship
Every plan includes mentorship till your exam. It is never sold on its own.
- Your own study schedule. We make a study schedule for the subjects you've bought, up to your exam.
- Help whenever you're stuck. Behind on the syllabus, stuck on a chapter, or unsure what to do next? Tell us and we'll help.
- Through a ticket or a message. Raise a support ticket, or just message us; the WhatsApp tab at the edge of every page opens a chat with us.
What kind of support actually moves marks is discussed in our CA Inter mentorship guide; the same checks apply at every level.
Plans: whole level, group or one subject
You don't have to buy more than you need. Each level's page shows its plans:
- Whole level or both groups, for every paper of your attempt.
- One group, for Inter or Final.
- Subject-wise, one subject at a time, for the paper you're weakest in or the one you're repeating. When one subject makes more sense than a group is covered in subject wise test series.
Plans differ in how many full-syllabus mocks they give per subject. Each plan page lists its papers, its price and how many days of access you get, counted from the day you buy. See the current plans and prices for CA Foundation, CA Intermediate and CA Final.
Free ICAI resources
ExamSeries also keeps ICAI's own free material in one place, level by level, linked straight to ICAI: Mock Test Papers (MTPs), Revision Test Papers (RTPs), past question papers and the ICAI study material. ICAI publishes these on its website, icai.org, and the Board of Studies portal, boslive.icai.org; our pages save you the search. Open the free resources for CA Foundation, CA Intermediate or CA Final. What MTPs and RTPs are, and how to use them, is in ICAI RTP and MTP explained.
Who ExamSeries is for
- Students who study well but lose marks in writing: presentation, working notes, or a provision stated but not applied.
- Students who practise with ICAI's MTPs and RTPs and now want full papers of their own checked step by step.
- Students short on time, who need the checked copy back fast enough to fix the next paper.
- Students repeating one or two papers, who want only those subjects.
- Students who need a plan, and someone to ask when they fall behind.

How ExamSeries is different
A test series is only as useful as what happens after you write. ExamSeries is built around that:
| What ExamSeries gives | |
|---|---|
| Depth | Step marks, a reason for every mark cut and the correct line |
| Direction | A topic-wise report with the next step for each weak topic |
| Support | Study schedule and mentorship included with every plan |
| Freedom | All papers open at once, write any time till your exam |
