    Hello Nathan,

    I’ve been using Gleim to study for the exams. I took Part 2 a couple of weeks ago but do not feel confident about passing it. I think the actual questions are different than Gleim’s MCQ. That being said, how are your test bank questions generated and what’s the level of difficulty of the questions? Unpopular opinion but I think Gleim’s MCQs are less difficult than the actual exam.

    Thanks.

      Hi Vince,

      Our test bank questions, including the final simulation, are a combination of retired exam questions and questions written by our CMAs.

      Keep in mind that the exam questions on the real exam are going to be always new as the IMA doesn’t recycle retired exam questions.

      Hi Ben,

      CMA candidates often come from varying backgrounds, and we’ve had students with no previous accounting background who successfully completed our program and passed the exam.

      Our combo course also includes a Fundamentals of Accounting textbook which helps candidates to refresh their knowledge before starting the course.

      If you’d like to learn more about our program and how we can help you ace the exam on your first attempt, check it out here: https://cmaexamacademy.com/product/premium-cma-coaching-combo-part-1-part-2/

    Hi Nathan,

    I am a diploma Holder in Electronics after 10+2. I have built a career in IT working as as a Business Intelligence Analyst and part of my job has been developing Finance Dashboards based on Corporate Finance. I’ve taken an immense interest in Finance and would like to do CMA. But I see that the minimum eligibility criteria is Graduation. Is there any alternate way for me to qualify for the course?

    Thanks & Regards,

    Nigel

      Hi Nigel,

      I would recommend reaching out directly to IMA to verify if they’re able to exempt you from the education requirement. They may do that on a case-by-case basis.

      However, even if you don’t meet the education and experience requirements for the CMA, you can still take the CMA exam and fulfill the requirements within 7 years of passing the exam to get certified.

      Good luck!

      Thanks,
      Nathan
