CMA Study Group

Good Morning & Happy Sunday, 

I hope that everyone is doing well. I am writing you this message to inquire about the question because I would like to know what to study for before I make a fool of myself going in there, not knowing what to study for. If someone can upload the type of question will be on the exam, I would greatly appreciate that so much.....

CMA Exam Part 1 is about Financial Planning, Performance, and Analytics. I believe sharing the types of questions seen on the exam is a violation to the policies and rules. Based on my review materials, CMA candidates do not get same questions on the exam.
Here's a list of topics I studied before taking the exam:

• Planning (Strategic etc.)
• Budgeting
• Forecasting
• Costing (including all types of variance analysis + calculations)
• Supply Chain
• Technology and Analytics
• Internal Controls
• All types of Financial Reports (How to prepare them and what their purposes are) 

There are two parts of the exam (Multiple choice questions and Essays). Three hours are allotted for 100 MCQS and one hour for 2 Essays. 

The exam was definitely difficult. I have only taken the exam today so I guess I would get the result in about six weeks from today. 

Goodluck to you!
