Also, please adcicebthe value of CMA US in India since I work there.
Hi Mohit,
If you complete your ICWA, you can get your CMA certification. So I suggest that you get your ICWA done first. Please refer to this article for details: https://ipassthecmaexam.com/cma-ima-vs-icwai/
For your reference, here are the consideration for CMA certification and career in India: https://ipassthecmaexam.com/cma-title-for-career/
And if you decide to proceed with the CMA exam anyway, here are the major review materials providers: https://ipassthecmaexam.com/cma-review-course/
Hi…I am from India and planning to do CMA from US. I have cleared group 1 of intermediate from ICWA in India.
I want to know if there are any exemptions available in CMA US. Also, it would be great if you can refer some good books or sites for the study or quick notes as I plan to do self study.
Rgds,Mohit

Stephanie, Thanks for your efforts to help the CMAs around the world.
I could not find the exam center locations i am living in Afghanistan so i want to know that is there any exam center nearby.
Your response is highly appreciated
Hi Safiullah,
You are most welcome! If you go to this page:
https://ipassthecmaexam.com/cma-exam-location/
there is a link that brings you over to the prometric site. Once you type in Afghanistan the system will show you the closest center in nearby country.
If you have trouble finding a site, please leave a message on that page. Thanks and good luck! Stephanie
hi,
i have got part 1 exam on 21st feb 2015. is there anyway you can help me for the essay questions for the new course material ? i am very nervous.
Hi Poonam,
First of all, don’t worry there is only 10% change in the new syllabus, mostly in the external financial reporting in Part 1. For essays, I have this page on tips and what to watch out for as a candidate: https://ipassthecmaexam.com/cma-exam-essay-prep/
Hi, I have recently started CMA, I wanted to know if jobs are available if I complete CMA as I do not hold a degree.
Thanks
Hi Zane, I have to say the CMA title (or any other professional qualifications) cannot guarantee jobs… it is a factor of your previous experience, your education as presented on your resume/CV, as well as your interview skills. There are jobs available for sure but how many/how few depend on where you live. This post should be helpful as well: https://ipassthecmaexam.com/cma-title-for-career/
Hi Stephanie,
first of all I would like to thank you for all the useful tips in the past week. I kind of got used to reading your e-mails first thing in the morning before starting with another CMA studying day. I admire your energy and effort to help candidates and support them in such way.
I have my Part 2 exam scheduled in a few days, using Gleim to prepare. Even though I didn’t have enough time to study (the next few days will be essential for things to sink in) I am pretty satisfied with my scores at MCQ but still discouraged when answering essay questions. I’ve been meaning to ask you about the info you provided about the essay part being 25% of the exam – did you base this on how long it takes to complete it (1h compared to 3h for MCQ) or it actually is 25% of the total score for the exam?
Being a non native speaker 30min is usually not enough time for me to write a coherent answer and that is something I should work to improve in the next few days. But what I am mostly worried about comes after I write my answer and start to read the key answer in Gleim. They provide the best possible answer, I know, but still it’s discouraging to read all those details and additional answers impossible to find in the Knowledge Transfer Outline (book) which makes me doubt if that material is even enough to prepare for the essay part. What was your feedback from candidates when it comes to grading the essay part at the actual exam?
I would like to thank you again for all your support and help through this journey and wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
Milica
Glad to hear that Milica! If you have questions along the way, please let me know! Regards, Stephanie
