Description
For many years, I marked the CMA final exams and know what the IMA is looking for in the ideal candidateThere are hundreds of learning outcomes that the IMA publishes that could be tested on the Part 1 exam. I have turned these learning outcomes into questions that past (successful) CMA candidates have researched the answers to. Their answers are provided but I recommend that you research the answers yourself as that will help you in mastering the content.IMA multiple choice questions are not all equal - know the three levels of questions and how much each level is worth.I have over five hundred multiple choice questions with answers and analysis at Level A, B and C. You can practice answering these questions in a number of 10 minute quizzes or 13 minute assignments..Look for quizzes and assignment in each module of this course. Also, there are two mock exams to practice.This course is a comprehensive study program to help you pass the Certified Management Accountants exam. It begins by first understanding how a professional organization such as the Institute of Management Accountants of America sets and marks the exams that lead to the professional designation as a Certified Management Accountant, The exams are offered three times a year - January, June and September.
I will be continually adding material to help you master the content.Dr JohnStudents comments:"Very informative and at a pace i can understand. " Mary Grace Warner "Good course to understand the content of the CMA, an overview of the main questions" Fornex-n" Sample tests in final session were very good and helped me identify areas where I needed to study up more. I don't know my test score yet but I feel that I have a good chance of passing because Dr. John's course did help a lot.....hopefully Dr. John will create a Part 2 CMA and I will sign up for UDEMY too."
