    Dear all members,

    Further to my previous post about CMA exam tips I would like to share the following notes regarding screen navigation, so you could prepare yourself in advance how to use it, save some time and tension before & during live exam.

    The exam screen includes these useful features:
    • Highlight text: You can use it as MS Word / Excel brush button or PDF text editor to highlight key words and numbers included in calculation base questions. It was very helpful to isolate relevant info from scrap text.
    Keep pressing the left mouse button to select the text >> then brush symbol appears >> Press it to highlight in Yellow, 

    • Scratch line: You can use it to eliminate the wrong options / least favorable one by one.
    Press the right mouse button to select the option >> Scratch line will appear  (A. Irrelevant choice) >> Press right again to remove it

    • Screen background and text colors: Can be adjusted according to your preference. I recommend to change the original White background color because it was very bright with high contrast rate (Irritating to whom are using glasses). Unfortunately I ran out of time for tutorial session, so I didn't have the chance to use it. Finished exam with massive headache.
    Press settings button at left down screen task-bar >> Go to left navigation pan >> Pick-up your favorable option.

    There is more features will be introduced to you during exam tutorial about MSQs and Essays, how the questions will appear according to your progress (Attempted, Flagged or Unattempted) and so on.

    I hope these info will be helpful to you during your live exam window.

    Wish you all the best and success

    Kind regards
