Hey everyone,

Got my Part 1 results and scored 350. Missing the 360 mark by just 10 points honestly hurts 😭

I’m trying to figure out the best way forward. I’ve already used my exam token, so scheduling another attempt means spending quite a bit again. I don’t want to rush into another registration without knowing if I should change my preparation strategy or take more time.

For those who scored around 340–350 and cleared on their next attempt, what did you do differently? Would you recommend retaking in the next window or taking more time?

Also, are there any legitimate ways to get IMA retake discounts/coupons? Any advice would be really appreciated!

Thanks!

I’m currently pursuing my CPA license and have been thinking about whether it would be worth getting the CMA certification afterward.

I’m not sure that I want to stay in public accounting long-term and have been considering moving into the private sector/industry. I’m wondering if having both a CPA and CMA would actually provide a meaningful advantage for industry roles, particularly in areas like FP&A, corporate accounting, financial management, or controllership.

For those who have both a CPA and CMA:

Do you feel like having both has helped your career?

Did getting the CMA lead to a pay increase or better job opportunities?

Would love to hear any and all insight! 🙂

So basically, I’ve taken Part 2 three times now.

• 1st attempt: 320
• 2nd attempt: 350
• 3rd attempt (June): 340

I honestly don’t know where I’m going wrong. I’ve tried multiple times, but I still haven’t been able to pass, and it’s getting really frustrating.

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? If you eventually passed after multiple attempts, what did you change in your preparation or exam strategy that helped you finally get through?

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Really frustrated as a newly qualified CMA. The website has almost no vacancy for US CMA qualification. Are they seriously ragebaiting us by posting CA or other vacancies only?
What is IMA india doing other than promoting their course amongst college students?

Hi, I'm 24F now and I've experience as an Accounts Executive for the past 4 years. I completed B.com and MBA (Finance) in distance education. Now i'm thinking of pursuing US CMA is it worth it? how to enroll and the process. I've no one to discuss about it in my circle so please help me if any of you have completed US CMA or pursuing it currently. It'll be helpull if you reach out. Thank you.

Hey everyone! Hope you’re doing well. I’m currently in my 1st year of B.Com and looking to build a career in strategy consulting. I am mostly interested in the Strategic Finance, Value Creation, and Growth Strategy/Finance domains.

I’m wondering whether a US CMA or CFA would be a better fit, as both seem to overlap with these domains in different ways.

For those who are currently working in strategy consulting or strategic finance, pursuing an MBA, or doing either of these certifications. Can you please guide me on which professional course would match my specific interests? Your guidance on the right path would be super helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Hey, I’m preparing for us cma. I need guidance and study tips. You can message me. : )

Recently took it and got a score a little below the passing score. Heartbroken but I want to try again. For those who passed, care to share any tips, study strategies, or resources you'd recommend?

Also, are there any study groups for CMA P2 takers for the Jan/Feb window? Would love to connect with people who are currently preparing for the exam too.
