Exam questions

The first exam sitting of the new Professional Qualification was in May 2005. We publish the exam questions here after each exam sitting. You can buy the questions and suggested answers from CIMA Publishing.

We have produced a pilot paper, and suggested answers, for each Professional qualification subject. They are a guide to the style and type of questions that are likely to appear in this and future exams. The pilot papers do not cover the full range of the learning outcomes for each subject.

Find out about assessment changes to Paper P7 Financial Accounting and Tax Principles from the May 2007 diet - and download some example questions and answers for the new compulsory section C effective from May 2007.

You will need Adobe Acrobat software to view the PDF files. If you do not have this installed on your computer, you can download it free from the Adobe website.
