Thanks for watching! How excited are you to pass your exam?

@DarkoVlajkovic 5 лет назад

I took Part 1 first because i knew it was harder than Part 2 :) thx to Nathan and CMA exam academy i passed both parts in my 1st try :)

@Cmacoach 5 лет назад

I'm so happy for your Darko! You did all the hard work and the credit goes to you. I'm glad I was able to be a part of your journey and guide you to exam success.

@rolandorivera2401 5 лет назад

I have a question!! It is possible hypothetically to score only 50% of multiple choice right and still get a 360?

@Cmacoach 4 года назад

@@rolandorivera2401 no it's not possible.

@miked6523 5 лет назад

I recommend taking Part 1 as it is the hardest. Having an accounting degree is very advantageous for Part 1. I am more worried of failing than passing but that is because I don’t like to be over confident, still waiting on my scores from the June testing window.

@Cmacoach 5 лет назад

Absolutely Mike. For those with an accounting major Part 1 is the best part to start with. As for exam release dates, here's a quick read: cmaexamacademy.com/cma-exam-release-dates-for-2018-heres-the-scoop/ Yours will be released around August 11th.

@mitchgriffith6400 5 лет назад

Hi Nathan, could you perhaps do a video on how to market yourself once becoming a CMA? Such as leveraging with your current employer, or using it in an interview process.

@Cmacoach 5 лет назад

That's a great idea Mitch, thank you! I'll add it to my list of topics and will create a video for it. High five!

@noureldinsaber709 5 лет назад

Liao .. what about the change that happened on the CMA, is that material ?? and what do you prefer, taking the exam in 2019 or 2020 and adapt with those changes ? thanks in advance ?

@Cmacoach 5 лет назад

Hi Noureldin, the changes in 2020 are big so yes they are material. You still have time to take one exam in 2019 so I would advice you to do it if you have the time. Then take the second exam in 2020.

@bartholome8335 7 месяцев назад

If the MCQs constitute 75% of the exam, does it mean that by answering all of them correctly, you would already have 375 out of 500 points and pass the exam without writing the essay? Additionally, is it correct to say that out of the 500 points, 25% or 125 is allocated for the essay?

@Cmacoach 7 месяцев назад

Hi. To pass the CMA exam, you must score at least 360 out of 500, or 70% overall, between the multiple-choice questions and the essays. The MCQ section counts for 75% and the essays account for 25% of the total score. Passing depends on your overall performance. You can find more details about it in this article I wrote on my blog: cmaexamacademy.com/cma-exam-passing-score/ref/nathan/ For more specific questions about your exam, please contact the IMA directly as I don't have access to candidates' exams.

Does receiving a performance report from the Prometric center with no score or no details on the topics mean you failed when the scores haven’t even been released yet? I am wondering if this is a mistake or does everyone get this email/letter?

Mike, Prometric sent that letter to all June test takers by mistake. Please disregard it.

Hello sir, Divyansh this side. Hope you're doing well. Actually sir I wanted to ask that i gave my CMA part 1 exam yesterday and I was able to reach the essay section but I'm not very sure about my performance so can you please tell what are the chances of passing? I have read on the internet that if you reach the essay section then there is a good chance of passing, the possibility of passing increases. Can you please guide.

@Cmacoach 2 года назад

Hi Divyansh, thanks for your question. It's hard to predict if you passed or not without knowing how you did in each question of the exam. Reaching the essay section is a good sign though. Fingers crossed and hoping for a passing score.

Hi Coach, As I saw some percentage given to each section in both part, so can we strictly assume the exams questions will as per their percentage only for example if part 2, section A having 20% then only 20 questions will come from section A and so on...

@Cmacoach 4 года назад

Hi Navdeep, yes that's correct but with a caveat. Although some sections may have a low percent coverage, it's super important to study all sections diligently. I don't want anyone to think that because a section may be only 10% it's not that important to pass the exam. Every point counts :)

Hi Nathan Your way is so excited Please I want to know which material shall I follow for part one ? And is there any chance to complete part 1 this year 2019 ?? Thanks so much

@Cmacoach 5 лет назад

Hi Hussein, thanks for watching! There's still time to take your Part One exam in 2019. But you'd have to get started right away. I say that because you'll need at least 3 months to successfully prepare for one exam.

@sofiaochoa7094 4 года назад

Hypothetically speaking, is it possible to pass the exam by only getting all of the multiple choice questions correct?

@Cmacoach 4 года назад

No it's not possible to pass the exam with only one section of the exam. It's a scaled scoring system so points from both sections of the exam are calculated to come up with your final score.

@mitchmercado1533 5 лет назад

do you think we can pass the exam even though we are not a CPA?

@Cmacoach 5 лет назад

Hi Mitch, yes absolutely! In fact, most CMAs were not CPAs before they took their CMA exam. Being a CPA is not a prerequisite to pass the CMA exam.

How should I crack the question and how should I make preparation for exam

@Cmacoach 5 лет назад

Hi Dilip, practice is key to understanding how to the questions are presented on an exam. The best way is to take practice exams using your test bank. Make sure to score at least 80% or above. You may not score that high at first so take more exams until you do. If you have a test bank to practice with that's great! If you don't, here's a link to get one: cmaexamacademy.com/product/cma-mcq-mastery-combo-parts-one-two/

@mitchgriffith6400 5 лет назад

Does this mean that you can technically answer all 100 Mc questions correct and then not score at all on the essay and still pass? Obviously that isn’t ideal but want to know

@Cmacoach 5 лет назад

hey Mitch, unfortunately no. Your raw score is converted to a uniform scoring system between 0-500. Passing the exam requires getting a score of 360+. You need to get the most points in both sections to pass. Passing one section, even at 100%, won't get you an overall passing score.

@sofiaochoa7094 4 года назад

@@Cmacoach so does that mean that each section is worth 500 points and you need to get an average of 360+ between the 2?

@Cmacoach 3 года назад

Candidates have to get 50% of the MCQs right in order to move forward to the essay section. It's not 50% of 500 points though. There are other considerations to determine a final score. I encourage you to contact the IMA directly if you have questions about your specific score. They'll be able to provide more information than I can.

CMA Coach Im good, i hope you are doing well!! Do you know if the CMA have questions in the multiple choice that doesn't count for the grade? And lets supposed that i only get exactly 50% good of the MCQ, if i did well in the essays are any chance for a 360? I dont understand how they grade the exam!!

@Cmacoach 5 лет назад

Rolando, there are 10 non-graded questions in the MCQ section. We don't know which ones those are so do your best with all 100 of them. It's hard to say whether you'll pass or not by getting 50% in the MCQ section and do "well" in the essay section. Essays are graded manually and the grade book is long. My suggestion is not to worry about trying to do "enough" to pass. Study hard and do your best to learn the material.
