    can someone clarify the grading system of the CMA essay questions.

    1) are the essay questions on one topic? or one essay could cover many topics?

    2) if you pass the mcq and go to the essay how much do you have to score in the essay to pass?

    3) can you pass from MCQ alone?

    Theoretically, you can pass from the MCQ only but you should answer more than 95 questions correctly witch is hard :). 

    If you pass MCQ it means you answered at least 50% of the questions correctly, so you will never know how much you need in the essay part to pass. 

    from my experience the essay cover all the subjects, they give you 2 scenarios, each one with 6 to 7 questions, sometimes the questions not related to the scenario directly.

    If you pass the MCQ you know you answered 50 questions or more correctly, that's it. No information about how much you need after the a MCQ to pass, assuming you have to answer all the essays questions if you scored 50 questions.
