Hey Rebecca
Giving Part 1 before part 2, I believe, is more logical
since it prepares the basework for Part2, esp the ratios
and general accounting principles. There isnt too much
overlap. So just studying for part 1 would help you sail
through it. In case u have time, u can probably study the
Ratios in part 2, especially the return on equity, investments and assets.

Subject: Part 2 items in Part 1?
Good morning,
For those who have taken both parts and started out with Part 1, would you recommend or give an opinion of items in Part 2 you wish had studied from while studying for Part 1 that would have helped make easier passing Part 1?
I read in the Content Specification Outlines Certified Management Accountant (CMA) Examinations pdf, "The topics for Parts 1 and 2 have been selected to minimize the overlapping of subject areas among the examination parts. The topics within an examination part and the subject areas within the topics may be combined in individual questions." I guess I was thinking just go by the LOS, but to make studying easier, instead of outsourcing to college books, etc, can you advise or give an opinion on which areas in Part 2 may greatly help with Part 1?
Thank you and wishing you all to stay safe and healthy during this pandemic.
Rebecca
