I have passed CMA Part 2 (new) last Tuesday with 580 scores. It was very hard part for me, taking into account that I had only general background in A, B, D and E sections. Section C "Information Management" was easiest for me and required only careful reading the study materials.
Study materials:
As I mentioned earlier, I used Gleim's study materials for my Revised CMA Part 1 exam. However, it turned out that Gleim's outlines was insufficient for me even for understanding the material from section E "External Financial Reporting". I followed advice from successful candidates and purchased Hock's online study materials. I like these study materials. Reviews are well organized, clear, logical and intelligible. Also, I bought Gleim's Test Prep Software with the question bank. In addition, I bought ICMA's Question and Answer book, which was last step of my preparation.
Tips:
1. Again, follow the Learning Outcome Statements (LOS) (PDF file, 322Kb). Hock's study materials, unlike Gleim's outlines, are very well aligned with the LOS.
2. Practice with multiple-choice questions as much as you can. But be aware that many answers in Gleim's Test Prep Software are out of date (for example, about extraordinary items).
3. If you are already a member of IMA, join the IMA's Certification E-Mail Exchange. It is a source of extremely helpful information. Also, you can ask the questions arising in preparation.
4. Read carefully Bruce Pounder's "Tips for taking CMA/CFM Exams":
one ;
two;
three (PDF file, 24 Kb);
four.
Time management is critical success factor. I used Bruce's advice and I still had about 45 min left after answering all questions during Part 2 exam (I didn’t have any time to review marked questions in the first exam).
I am going to publish a lot study tips for Revised CMA Part 2 after my two weeks vacation. Also, I want to redesign this blog and rewarded myself with second shark tooth in the header.
See you soon and good luck on the exams!
