CIMA – Charted Institute of Management Accountants prepares the candidate to make a good
career in business. The course makes the student technically strong and helps in monetary gain as a
professional. A few quick tips to crack the CIMA are here:

• Time management is the key to crack any exam. Both the working and non workingstudents should manage time and should be focused. The student should prepare with full concentration.

• One should try and link the studies with day to day life or news. The deeper your knowledge,the more the probability for you to pass with good score in all the subjects.
• There are many students who opt to do self study. They devote 10 -16 hours in a week. The number of hours required for studies varies from one person to other depending on the learning ability. Some students need guidance in one or all the subject. These students may opt for tuitions or coaching, which helps them in the preparation for exam. If the student utilizes the knowledge or the guidance given in tuition or coaching, he/she can do well in exams.
• Sufficient time should be devoted in solving practice papers and previous year papers, a very important part of the preparation. Solving papers gives good idea about the pattern of paper and the time required. Practice paper helps you understand the key areas to be focused. The student can also go through the feedback posted by examiners.
