Not all multiple choice questions are equally weighted by the IMA. Knowing the different levels helps in determining how much time should you spend on one question.
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.
