hi coach does yr academy helps in placement in companies after us cma

[@Cmacoach]

Hi Supraja, at this time we don't offer job placement services. Our sole focus is helping professionals earn their CMA credential. It's one of the main reasons why our exam pass rate is 90% on average. The IMA has career resources for CMAs though exclusively offered to IMA members. Please check with them on that.

Hi... Attempting both MCQ's and Essays is compulsory ? Can we get through the exams, if we get 360 alone from MCQ's ?

[@Cmacoach]

It's not possible to get a passing score with only MCQs or only Essays. You need to perform well in both sections to pass the exam.

[@debamitaghosh8048]

Thanks for the information. Could you please let me know is there any negative markings in mcq?

[@Cmacoach]

No negative markings. You get it right or get zero points for a wrong answer. That's it.

So sorry to hear about your exam score. You'll receive a performance report that'll show you the areas you'll need to focus on more next time around. For updates on that report please contact the IMA.

[@kaus43454]

Hi Nathan, Are these MCQ questions based or comes as a direct question from the study material? Do we get any study material from IMA-CMA whilst registering for the course? If yes, then do I have to still refer to these modules or I can go ahead with Gleim/Wiley? What's the cost of comprehensive review course fees for Gleim & Wiley?

[@Cmacoach]

Hi Kaushik, the IMA will provide you with a limited number of practice questions. I definitely recommend investing in a CMA review course to help you pass the exam. There are many choices so pick the one that best fits your learning style and needs. here's a comparison of the various course providers: bit.ly/31AKv5h

I'm not sure who got the highest CMA exam score worldwide. You may want to ask the IMA about it. But quite frankly, it's not important from a career perspective. Companies don't ask what your CMA exam score was. They only ask if you have it or not. I'm glad you're excited about earning your CMA.

The IMA provides a support package when candidates pay the CMA Entrance fee. It's limited in scope and doesn't not replace an online test bank. But good enough for some practice.

I gave my CMA Part 1 exam on 28 feb 2020. i completed the 100 mcq and after clicking next i was move onto the survey. As my result is 220 the essay part of the exam should have opened but it did not. it is stated that the 50% of the mcq should be correct in order to open the essay part of the exam that will be 50% of 375 i.e. 187.5. i would like to know the reason of this .

[@Cmacoach]

HI Akshat, sorry to hear about your exam score. Remember that the final score is tabulated based on a scaling scoring system. It's not clear cut like you describe it. If you'd like further information on how specifically your exam score was calculated, please reach out to the IMA directly as I don't have that information.

Hi Krishna, in reality you only have 4 months, not 6. The last exam window closes in October. 4 months is enough to complete one part of the CMA but you gotta be super dedicated and follow a proven study plan.
