Exam sequence
We advise students to pass the operational level paper before attempting the management level paper in the same pillar.

However, it is possible for students to study and sit an operational paper in one pillar and a management paper in another pillar.

Students must pass all operational and management subjects before attempting the strategic level.

Assessment
There is a three hour written exam paper, plus 20 minutes of pre-exam reading time, with two sections:

Section A 50 marks: five compulsory medium answer questions, each worth ten marks. Short scenarios may be given, to which some or all questions relate.

Section B 50 marks: one or two compulsory questions. Short scenarios may be given, to which questions relate.

Pass marks
The pass mark for each operational and management level subject is 50%. Permanent credit is awarded for any paper where candidates score 50% or more.

Students must pass all operational and management level subjects in each learning pillar before attempting strategic level subjects.

Award
Students who pass all three management level subjects will be awarded the CIMA advanced diploma in management accounting.
