    Hi Aman,
     
    Really good that you're taking Part 2 seriously and reaching out before the exam.
     
    A few things that genuinely helped me prepare for the structure:
    • The exam has 100 MCQs and Essay questions. MCQs test speed and clarity - don't overthink them.
    • Focus heavily on Business Decision Analysis (Section C) - it carries the highest weightage and includes CVP, relevant costing, and decision-making scenarios.
    • Capital Budgeting and Risk Management are also high-priority areas. Make sure you're comfortable with NPV, IRR, and payback concepts.
    • For essays, practice writing structured answers - point-wise, not long paragraphs.
     
    If it helps, I had made some personal notes during my own Part 2 preparation - specifically for Business Decision Analysis. These are not official IMA or Becker material, just my own structured revision notes.

    Best of luck with your exam. Stay calm, trust your preparation, and you'll do well.
