CIMA Syllabus Structure At each Professional level there are three Objective Tests (e.g.,, ) followed by an Integrated. You must progress by level in the order shown in the diagram to the left. To progress to the next level you must have passed all 3 Objective Tests and the Integrated from the lower level. The 3 Objective Tests within each level can be taken in any order, but must be passed before attempting the Integrated for that level. Objective Tests (OTs) The 9 technical exams (,,,,,,,, ) each consist of 90 minute Objective Tests taken on a computer. These are available all year around. These exams are computer marked so results will be available shortly after the exam. Objective Tests use a combination of multiple choice, data entry, fill in the gaps and drag/drop style questions. Questions will be selected randomly and will cover all of the learning outcomes within the syllabus. Strategic Management Integrated (ICS) There is a case study at each level Operational, Management and Strategic. These 3 hour computer exams will cover the syllabus from all 3 subjects within the level you are sitting. There are four fixed exam sittings a year February, May, August and November. These exams are human marked and results will be available 45 weeks after the exam are held. Operational The exams will be broken down into timed sections with tasks being set based on trigger information delivered at various points during the exam. The previously unseen trigger information will build on the preseen material that you will receive a few weeks prior to the exam. The questions will be discursive, and involve minimal calculations, short answers and essays. Some tasks will also be linked. Exams CIMA exams can be sat at Kaplan UK centres.

How to plan your studies The first thing we would recommend you do is decide which sitting you wish to attempt your exam in and then work backwards to decide on when to sit your OT subjects. There are a few different ways you can choose to do this. One subject at a time Studying 1 subject every 3 months allows you to focus on one subject at a time which you may find beneficial as you progress to the higher level subjects. This example shows how your progress through the Management level might look like if you are ready to start it in quarter 1 of a year and want to study the level over 12 months. Year 1 Year 2 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Flexible study with a break If you wished to have a bit more flexibility through the year and vary the number of subjects that you take each sitting, either to allow for peak times in work or important events in your personal life, you are still able to sit 4 exams a year but incorporate a break. For example, you could sit two subjects in quarter 1, one in quarter 2 and in quarter 4. This would mean you are still sitting 4 exams in a year, but you have time for a summer holiday. CS CS CS CS CS CS CS CS CS CS CS CS Fast track If you wanted to fast track through a level then you can opt to sit more than one subject per quarter. This means you can complete the level faster to then move on to the next level. Study at your own pace With our OT courses starting frequently throughout the year, you can move on to the next level whenever you are ready once you have completed the previous level. For example, if you completed your OCS exam in May and wanted to move on to the Management level straight away, then you can attend the course for your first OT in Q3 following through to the case study in the May the following year.
