CMA Exam Credits

  • 1.  CMA Exam Credits

    Posted 01-14-2020 10:11 PM
    So, I was looking over my CMA Part 1 Score, and saw that in addition to passing and receiving credit, I received "60 Credits." Does anyone know anything else about the credit system, and how it relates to the exam scoring?

    I've wondered the same thing. Is it related to CE?

    Congrats on passing part 1. What study materials did you use and do you feel it prepared you well? Also what is your study strategy? Thanks

    Bradley,

    I used Gleim and felt very prepared. For me the practice quizzes and homemade note cards was the most helpful.

    I used Wiley CMA Excel, as well as a couple old textbooks from my college days (Accounting Information Systems by Marshall B. Romney and Paul John Steinbart, as well as Cost Accounting: A Managerial Emphasis by Charles T. Horngren, Srikant M. Datar, & Madhav V. Rajan). I honestly did not feel prepared for it, so I was surprised to find out I passed. My study strategy was mostly do the Multiple Choice Questions in Wiley CMA Excel, check out which ones I got wrong and why, and then repeat.

    Thanks Theo .. For sharing your experience with Part 1. 
    Me too, using Wiley CMAexcel course and doing well until now. It has a plenty of MCQ bank which I think it is more difficult compared with retired IMA questions.
    Would you please give us an idea about the real Essay questions you had ?? It would be so appreciated

    I booked my appointment on 17 Feb for part 1 exam, hoping not to run out of time during real test window.. 

    Kind regards​

    I'd like to know the tips for essays too. I'm studying with Wiley as well but I failed my first attempt and I'm pretty nervous for my 2nd attempt. Especially for essays.
    I finished MCQ quickly and gave myself enough time to answer the essays but still struggled with them.

    Hi,
    If you guys have an thg additional free tutorial for the exam please email it to me at martintawana@.... 
    And any online study groups please let me know as well well.  Im taking my first exam next month. Although my scores are improving I am getting nervous like I need more time to study. Also if we have to remember all the info for the balance sheet, etc....and formulas. I have to study the essay twice as harder. 

    Any suggestions on the essay part of the exam?

    Thanks,
    Tawana M.

    Good question.  It would be great to have a list of study groups.  I am in Vermont so would be surprised if there was a study group.  If anyone knows of one, please let me know.
