Are all gleim cma product valid for 18 months including the test bank please help me
ReplyHello Feras,
part one took from me 4 months to study, because i work and Arabic is my first language, and i have only 2 years of experience in accounting, you should know your abilities and knowledge, but i recommend at least 3 months of studying daily 3-4 hours.
Contact me if you need more help.
Thanks Amani!
Feras, you can also refer to my Gleim study planner. I believe it was helpful to Amani back then as well 🙂 Stephanie

Dear Amani,
Thanks a lot for your detailed response 🙂 Hope this page serves help to other CMA students as well 🙂
Dear Amani and Stephanie,
Thank you both for this wonderful blog and related inputs especially IMA’s link to retired questions. I am currently using Gleim printed version book. It would be great if you can advise me on the study options stated below so that I can make my exam study planner accordingly.
Option 1 Are the questions given at back of each study unit in the Gleim book including practice of CMA retired questions- 293 questions for Part1 and 321 questions for Part2 sufficient for our Exam preparation?
Option 2 we need to study the whole set of Gleim online questions alone- 1990 questions for Part1 and 1704 questions for Part2 ?
Coming to essays- The Gleim online essays or Sample essays in IMA site
ReplyDear,
For option one it depends on your knowledge level, if you believe you are proficient with the topics then i would say yes, but for most people its not enough, they refer to other testbanks.
Option two, also depends, when you reach a level where you think you are ready to sit for the exam, or score at least 75% in tests, then you shouldn’t study the whole testbank, and the opposite is true.
As for the essays, the IMA essays is a must study to be able to understand how the perfect solution is written, studying complementary essays from gelim online, or the end of chapter essays is never a bad thing.
Regards,
ReplyIn fact Amani has taken Part 1 in Feb (and passed!)
I am featuring her story a few months late because I have too many bloggers at the same time 🙂
Hi Amani:
Thanks for your suggestion. Where can I find IMA retired questions please.
ReplyDear Mallik, When you become a member of the IMA you will be able to download them for both parts from your profile under the Learning Center tab.
ReplyHi Amani
Sorry bothering you. I couldn’t find retired questions of IMA. I am registered IMA member. If you get chance, at your convenience, can you pl send path to locate the questions.
Thanks.
ReplyGleim is one review course with naxinum number of practice questions compared to other review courses. Is Gleim test bank insufficient still? 🙁
ReplyWhy in your printed version there is answer below mcqs ? Answer sheet should be not on same page of questions .
Why is it so ?
Hello Indar lal,
in the printed books there is questions at the end of each unit with the answers right next to each question, its better this way so you can directly know what is the answer and its justification.
in the online version of the book, the questions are already included in the test bank.
Dear CMA student,
As i believe, using Gleim test bank along with the IMA retired questions should be enough, dont distract yourself with many test banks.
CMA review courses have retired questions from the IMA. They are included in the review provider’s test banks. Learn more about CMA review providers here: https://ipassthecmaexam.com/cma-review-course/
