    Knowing the three levels on MCQ's that the CMA uses on their exams gives you an advantage

    Levels B & C are the more challenging IMA questions therefore worth more marks. If Level A questions are worth one mark then Level B would be 3 and Level C - 5. It is like in golf - all par 4 holes are not equal - there is a difficulty index. The IMA has a difficulty index for each question on the exam. So focus on Level B & C questions.

Requirements

  • You should dedicate at least five hours a week o this course in the semester that you plan to write the exam.
  • You should have access to a good management accounting textbook.
  • To be eligible to write the exam you must register with the Institute of Management Accountants.

Description

For many years, I  marked the CMA final exams and know what the IMA is looking for in the ideal candidate

There are hundreds of learning outcomes that the IMA publishes that could be tested on the  Part 1 exam. I have turned these learning outcomes into questions that past (successful) CMA candidates have researched the answers to. Their answers are provided but I recommend that you research the answers yourself as that will help you in mastering the content.

IMA multiple choice questions are not all equal - know the three levels of questions and how much each level is worth.

I have over five hundred multiple choice questions with answers and analysis at Level A, B and C. You can practice answering these questions in a number of 10 minute quizzes or 13 minute assignments..Look for quizzes and assignment in each module of this course. Also, there are two mock exams to practice.

This course is a comprehensive study program to help you pass the Certified Management Accountants exam. It begins by first understanding how a professional organization such as the Institute of Management Accountants of America sets and marks the exams that lead to the professional designation as a Certified Management Accountant, The exams are offered three times a year - January, June and September.

I will be continually adding material to help you master the content.
