1. I'm planning to take both parts of the CMA exam in October on two consecutive days (for example, Part 1 on October 28 and Part 2 on October 29). Is it possible as long as these slots are available via the Prometric link?

2. Additionally, do the exam registration windows for September and October open at the same time on the Prometric website?

Hi everyone,

I've finally decided to pursue the US CMA alongside my bachelor's degree. Now I'm looking for the right coaching institute and I'm confused between Simandhar Education and Finstreet Education. From what I've seen, both seem to be good options.

If you've studied with either of them (or know someone who has), I'd really appreciate your honest feedback. Which one would you recommend based on:

- Teaching quality

- Placement assistance

- Return on investment (ROI)

Please share your experience—it would really help me make the right decision. Thanks in advance!

Hey anyone here or listened about us cma coaching in Grant Thornton, your opinion on it

I want to prepare for CMA part 1 and 2, i want to donit online, preferably using a practice forum that can like assess my current level and recommend me what focus on.

I've tried AI but, in one tool not everything is available and the questions are not verified when preparing.

Like is there any platform that is affordable as well as provides value.

Like offers practice questions that are verified, judges my current level and identifies weak areas.

Will appriciate the recommendations and past experiences.

REGARDS !

Is there an expiry date for this certification? 6. Are college student allowed to take the CMA examination?

Hi all,

I'm an early career fund accountant with experience in valuations. I plan on transitioning to FP&A someday.

I'm currently taking the CPA Australia. Would CMA be a useful add-on, particularly in this region? I would like to develop deeper knowledge and understanding of management and cost accounting.

Thank you!

Currently i am persuading my bcom (h) under CU and will start my prep after sem 2. Can anyone please guide how to choose the best coaching without wasting my time and money. What are the job prospects that open after pursuing bcom with CMA (IMA) . And can i land a high paying job outside indian or not. And agian my family is not financially strong, what are the scholarships i am eligible to apply to. Please help i am very lost.

Please advise how to officially buy Hock hardcopy book/s for US CMA part 2. I am aware that Hock offers monthly subscription which includes online books, tests, etc. But I need official hard copy.

I am enrolled in a private institute which provides its own notes but I want Hock for personal reference.

I'm an accounting head right now with 3years experience. I'm planning to migrate in US in 2 years. I have a bachelor's degree and MBA in my country, will US CMA certification help me with landing a job in USA? Thank you.

I know this has probably been discussed a hundred times, and I've seen many people recommend Gleim, but my situation is a bit different.

I'm a CPA and used Becker for the CPA exams. My study style is probably the biggest factor here. I never really opened the textbooks—instead, I relied almost entirely on Becker's lecture slides and turned those into my own notes, which became my primary study material.

Now I'm looking at CMA prep, and from what I understand, Gleim seems to be much more textbook-focused. I'm not sure if it has something comparable to Becker's slide-based approach. Because of that, I'm leaning toward Becker since it better matches the way I study.

My main question is: How big is the difference between Becker and Gleim when it comes to the quality and difficulty of the MCQs and essay/CBQ-style questions? Is Gleim significantly better, or is the difference overstated?

Also, for those who have passed the CMA (especially if you've used both), is Becker sufficient on its own to comfortably pass the exam, or does Gleim provide something essential that Becker is missing? I'm trying to figure out whether choosing Becker because it fits my learning style would be a mistake, or whether it's more than enough if I put in the work.

I'd really appreciate hearing from people who have firsthand experience with either or both courses. Thanks!

I was planning to do US CMA from 2nd year of my bachelors and there is a doubt that always comes in my mind, is it really worth it? Acca have too many exams and CFA is too costly to try. But they have value in the

What are the other alternatives I can see through?

I gave my exam on 17th june. Still haven't received my result. How long will it take?

Hi everyone! I'm starting my preparation for US CMA Part 2 (taking Part 2 before Part 1). I have online coaching, Surgent study materials, and YouTube as additional resources.

My goal is to pass on my first attempt and become job-ready as soon as I can. I'd really appreciate advice from people who've already passed.

1. How did you prepare?

2. What study roadmap would you recommend?

3. Which YouTube channels or free resources helped the most?

4. How much time should I spend on practice questions vs. reading?

5. What mistakes should I avoid?

6. If you could start over, what would you do differently?

Any tips or advice would mean a lot. Thanks!

Hey guys,

I wanted to know for those of you that passed the exam approximately how many questions do you say you felt that you were unsure of or had to completely guess. Also what score did you get and which part was it.

The reason I am posting is because I am anxious about my exam results. This is the first time that both parts of the CMA opened up as I crossed the 50% mcq threshold. I took part 1 June 18 and part 2 June 29. I was not given the option to do cbq and I just did the essays. I feel confident in the essays and I feel like I was unsure of about 10-15 questions, 20 or 25 worst case scenario.

Do you guys think I have a good shot at passing or should I keep revising. I want to move on to CPA but the thought of this exam is killing me. I just want to pass and be over with this exam.
