  • 1.  Retired CMA Exams

    Posted 04-13-2022 03:32 PM
    Hello--

    Is it accurate that retired CMA exam have been published?  I'd like to prepare for how the current test will be presented so I can prepare my hard study sessions accordingly.

    Thanks-

    Hi Sara,

    I do not believe the IMA releases full retired exams. The closest thing to the look and feel of the exam in my personal experience is the Wiley Efficient learning program, the test bank is very similar to the way the exam is presented. That said most CMA exam prep materials will use old CMA exam questions that they have been authorized to use by the IMA. Many of these questions can be found in the PDF support package that the IMA provides when you sign up to start the CMA program. 

    I would be wary of anyone telling you they have an old retired test as this seems suspect and would be in violation of IMA's ethical standards.

    Good Luck,

    Hi Sara, 

    The IMA shares retired questions under resources in your preparing for the CMA exam. This is where I found mine when I was prepping for the exams - of course this was in 2017 and it may have changed. 

    Best of luck on your exam!
