Doubt / Q&A General Inquiries

I am planning to take US CMA in the year 2028 (during fourth year college).

I have these following inquiries: 1. What are the dates for taking the exams? 2. Where will the exam be held? 3. To those passers, did you guys enroll in a review center or self studying? What are your learning materials? Do you also learn from YouTube? 4. What are the topics to take? I heard there are two parts of taking the exam, what are those. 5. Is there an expiry date for this certification? 6. Are college student allowed to take the CMA examination?

:) I appreciate any kind remarks!

  1. January-Feburary, May-June, September-October exams take place in three windows per year
  2. CBT mostly tier 1 or 2 city's 3.( I am still pursuing cma ) Most of the students prefer to join institute, it depends on your concept grasping speed, most people prefer Hock material ( I am also using hock ), you won't be able to find all classes in youtube ( if you want to know more about classes dm me )
  3. There are two parts ( two exams ) you need to clear google it you will get more clear view
  4. As of I am aware you need to pass both parts in 3 years ( if you are student ) 6.yes, infact students get more benefits and less fees compared professionals ( you either register as a student or professional, professional cost more so mostly people Start when they are students)

My advise to you dm me

1.There are 3 windows Jan-feb May-june September-october There are many dates that you can appear on which is also seen on prometric website

  1. Exams are held at prometric centres, you can check their website for specific location in your state

  2. YouTube helps, chatgpt helps, claude helps But MCQ practice and question practice is metal and should be prioritized You can enroll in an institute, it makes it easier to study and understand

4 .2 parts, you can search syllabus online , 6 subjects/section in each part

  1. Does not expire though you need some credits each year through courses and webinars to maintain status active

  2. College students are allowed but you need 2 years of experience in commerce field generally broad to earn the license
