The CMA exam has a large breadth and depth of content, and must be quite prepared to enter the battlefield.

Study method

Although in fact the CMA exam questions have changed a lot, most of them seem to have never met each other! Often you have to think before you can realize. However, it is very important to do the questions systematically! Generally speaking, each Part must have at least one thousand questions or more to fully grasp the changes and pulses of all question types (know your best and know your best), and it is best to print out the questions, organize systematic study and summarize them one by one. Question types and changes, and for the wrong questions must be checked again and again to understand the reasons (step by step, what to do, how to do it, do not be afraid of trouble), and then strengthen the weak points before the test, and then do at least three to Five times until proficiency is reached quickly and correctly.

2. Test time planning

The time budget for the exam is important! The CMA exam has 110 questions in 3 hours. After stabilizing first, confidence emerges naturally. Of course, the pressure of time is always there. For those who are not very sure but can delete the answer to two possible solutions based on experience or intuition, you should first determine whether there is a trap, and then choose from those who think it is correct. Mark up. For unfamiliar or too long questions, you still have to browse, first look at what the question is asking, and try to understand which unit the test scope belongs to? Complete all the questions as much as possible, at least fill in the answers for each question, and do one more question and one more chance to be on the list! If the problem has been done once again, go back to the Mark part, and rethink the original judgment to determine whether there are any incomplete answers. Often, the ideas will come out after a second thought.

Problem-solving skills

1. Be bold and careful not to panic when looking at the topic. Pay particular attention to details such as: year / month, amount / quantity, input / output, "Except", "Least", because once you do nt read the question clearly The next time will be wasted, no contribution to the score, and the opportunity cost is too large.

2. Among the four answers, there may be intermediate data generated when solving the problem instead of correct answers. Be careful not to fail.

3. Some questions do not need to be counted to the end, but only need intermediate data. See the questions clearly, don't bury your head.

4. Some problems may seem like calculation problems, but you can judge the rationality without wasting time.

5. Usually do the questions systematically, and accumulated practical experience is the best strategy.

In fact, the CMA exam is basically an exam with an English cultural background. For the non-native speakers of English, the difficulties in taking the CMA exam, some of the problems appear in the English reading ability and business background, usually do more reading and testing, while strengthening professional knowledge With vigorous attempt and perseverance, it should be possible to pass smoothly.

After passing the CMA exam, you still need to get two years
