For my prior post for the 43 questions of CMA 4 exam, the IMA didnt reply till today if passing these question subjected o any ethical violation or not.

Please who need them urgently for his/her exam dont wait you can get them from the IMA plus an online testing questions, just go to the IMA web and typ CMA EXAM SUPPORT PACKAGE ($25) on the search field and you will be guided on the WEb.

My advise to all CMA 4 preparers these questions are very importatnt and crucial in your praparation for the Exam.

Thanks & Good Luck to All.

Dear Haleema,

Thanks a lot for you great words and motivating tips.

Actually i am trying to convemce myself that CMA 4 is not a rocket science anyone can pass the exam if attained certain steps in his/her preparation such :

1- Understanding every and each information.

2- Comprehension.

3- And most importatnt step is to practice for the exam by studying the 43 sample question in the exam support package and the online testing trial which is offered in the same package.

My advise if you didnt get that package please do for you upcomming exam as i understood from your posts.

Thanka Again wish you all luck and success.

I'm taking the Part 4 exam this December as well. Although I'm a bit peeved because the latest date I can take the exam is on th 18th of Dec, whereas I would have preferred to take it later during the month (after Christmas) as the holiday season will give me time to study.

It's disappointing that the exam centers are closed around Christmas and New Year (although I understand why they are closed), therefore making the December window very short (only 3 weeks, instead of 4.5).

I haven't started revising yet - will now have to do so with a greater urgency!

I just sat for Part 4 today.  I was really nervous going in to it.  It was not as hard as i thought it would be.  As others have said, time can be an issue.  Not just time to do the questions but anxiety about making sure you have enough time.  I'm optimistic about it but would not be shocked to fail. 

In my opinion, if parts 1-3 have been passed fairly recently then part 4 really shouldnt present a big challenge.  i would say that my studying was more just review and refresh of things that i've already learned. 

I give all of you who have english as a second langugae alot of credit.  i cant imagine how hard that must be to study and take these exams.

 

good luck everybody!

Just had my part 4 exam yesterday. Time was no issue and I managed to answer all questions although I am not quite sure about some of the answers but I think in general I performed better than last time I sat for the exam in August.

The questions were not that difficult and required application of general knowledge and I feel optimistic about it.

Now have to wait to get the results which I really hope to be positive.

Good luck for everyone.

best of luck ya all and a happy new year... 

Hello to you all, I wish that every one of you will pass the exam and have the CMA certificate.

I am waiting for the result, 6 weeks really a long time, but nothing we can do just wait untill the announcement date come. I did my part 4 exam on 22nd of Dec. 6 scenarios with 29 requirements. long scenarios and the time is difficult to manage. Good luck to you all thanks!

Only one week is remaining!

How are you doing my friends?

I pray we pass, I know we don’t wish to retake this exam again!

 

Hope we celebrate soon.

 

Hope everyone gets a pass!  can we really find out by checking out CPE in IMA board, if so where?

 Haleema , thank you for that information! I called IMA to find out and they told me you couldn't see your CPE unless your a CMA because you don't need CPE if y our not.  well i knew it wasn't true becasue I saw other comments...

 

Again thanks........

 

I believe our big concern is because of part 4 exam type.

The requirement of many questions in the exam was abroad and not clear, that’s why we are not sure if we stated the right answer.

I guess most of us on the border of either pass or fail, it depend on the judgments of our analysis for each question.

 

There is nothing we could do now but wait and support each other!

Never gave up no matter what happened.

My goal is to be a CMA in 2010.

Hi,

I also took Part 4 last december. I really like your comments and spirit, Haleema. Result will be coming this Tuesday February 16, 2010, I checked with IMA last week.

Wish you all the best guys.

I Passeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed

My colleagues, Thank you all for your participation in this thread and all threads about part 4.

Congratulation to all of those who passed this exam.

Wow, the wait is over! checked my CPE and had 30 hrs.  I wish everyone a pass!

I did not pass and i'm very sad because this is the second time

I dont know what i have to do?

I'v very well knowelde of accounting  and  the materials and depend upon my self-study and readings

but the big barrier is the language especially when i translate my answer of the exam's scenarios which are mostly very long

  I've passed the 3 parts for first attempt but this part two times failing

I did not buy any sample questions from IMA 

 

finally my score this time is 430 and firrst time is 390

 

please i need some one help me and advise me what i have to do?

 

I can't believe it if so,, since it means I've passed,, Is it really 30 hours CPE means pass?! when we received a letter saying that we've passed or not, and can we get it by Email..

thanks

Happy Valentine day to you all,

My CPE is updated and I got 30 hours credit for CMA part 4 I have taken on 31/12/2009.

Total hours =130.

Congratulations Haleema. You did it!

You can send an email to Amy to get your scores.

Thanks for your encouragement, Actually this is my second attempt and I have no option now but to keep trying until I pass!!

Thanks..

Congratulations to all of you who have passed. welcome to the CMA prestigious club. within the next few weeks you will feel the difference of being a CMA. congratulation again and i wish all of you a prosperous life. Regards, Mahmood Adel

Thank you Nawar,

Actually many things changed!

First, on the personal level I feel more confident in my self, the qualification really changed the way I think.  Now I am more clear in decision making and my analytical skills improved a lot. These changes develop as you progress in the program and through continuous problem solving.

Second, after I got my qualification I can see more respect and admiration from the management and between my colleagues in the office. The quality of my work is enhanced a lot and I can perform my treasury tasks in a professional way. I earned the skills through CMA qualification and now its time to apply them in my work.

It was a challenging journey, but you learn everyday through the process and become stronger.

CMA needs a lot of hard work and dedication. THE ONLY WAY TO PASS IS TO PROVE THAT YOU CAN EARN IT!

Haleema Ebrahim, CMA

Hello everyone,

Dears, please clarify my doubts regarding CPE.. Those of you got results in February 2010 for December 2009 sitting and passed, do we have to report CPE for 2010 as I beleive we are exepmted for CPE this year... I am bit confused since we wrote exam in last month of the year so will get grace period or not!!

Walter,

 Find below my study plan.

• First I registered as early as possible for the exam in order to maintain flexibility and control of time.
• I used Gliem books (Part 1, 2, 3 & 4)-Focusing only on important points and reading fast.
• Gleim online includes (T/F), Study sheets, scenario questions & MCQ.
• I also solved IMA retired questions.
• I made a summary of all important points, formulas during my study which I reviewed in the week before the exam.
• Passing part 4 exam is very much related to being flexible and having the knowledge.
• Typing skills, practicing actual scenarios and getting use to the whole environment of online exams are very useful.
• Planning is the key for passing, plan your study time and how much you should finish everyday, plan your time in the exam and don’t spend more than the time given for each scenario.
• In the exam focus first on the questions you can directly solve and then try solving difficult or indirect questions which needs more time to analyze.
• Answer all questions, if your not sure just guess. Write formulas you used in calculation, partial credit may be grated so don’t mess it and write what you feel is relevant.
• Stay relaxed and believe me you will have enough time to solve all scenarios. But you should watch the time for each scenario.
• I planned to finish preparing for the exam in two months; I had to go to the office at that time, exercise, study and have breaks in between.
• I recommend having one week of revision of all important points and practice scenarios.
• Try to stay focused on important points and don’t get confused coz of large study scope; You don’t have to read everything.

Good luck,

 Haleema Mohammed, CMA

Mohammed,

Based on my understanding, the 30 CPE credit earned from passing Part 4 exam satisfies the CPE credit needed for the current year. Thus, if you passed Part 4 exam in Dec. 2009, you satisfied the CPE credit needed for 2009 and you will need 30 CPE credits for 2010. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I agree with Albert,

I re-read the notice I received in February from passing, and we need to obtain 30 CPEs during 2010. The 30 hours from Part 4 would relate to the year you sat and passed part 4.

Thank you Haleema,

You're definitely right that planning is the key for passing. I will try to put the tips you had given in my set out plan in order for me to have focus in my study and achieve my objectives. 

Actually, am still in the planning stage and drawing out my action plan. This action plan should be something manageable with timelines. Anyway, I planned to take the Transition exam on June 2010, so I still have enough time to prepare relative to your 2 months study period.

Thanks a lot for finding a time to respond to my query.

Again, Congratulation! and hope we as well will become a holder of CMA - a prestigious title.

Regards,

Walter
