The true story for CIMA exam pass rates

CIMA has been running the new 2015 schedule for a very long time, so I thought ample opportunity has already past to have a more profound glance at the tests pass rates. Truly, right now we have 2019 prospectus, however it isn't that vastly different from 2015, so I figured it would bode well to show you the full investigation throughout the previous 5 years. Likewise, I won't exhaust you with a full factual investigation, since that isn't the point. As a CIMA student, you ought to comprehend the numbers and get a few experiences from them. So here it goes - the most as of late delivered information is from July 2020. 

I will show you the pass rates in the accompanying request:

 OT pass rates from:

·       The professional level

·       The certificate level

Case study pass rates.

OT Pass Rates

This line that experiences the entire diagram, is the pattern. It's no advanced science that further developed you get, the more troublesome it turns out to be, subsequently the pass rates are getting by and large lower.

 Papers with the least pass rates :

As per the diagram, the P pillar appears to cause the vast majority of the issues for the CIMA understudies. P1 has the least pass rates: 52% and it doesn't appear to be moving from the first situation for quite a while... P2 and F2 is next in accordance with 53% and 59% individually (F2 has expanded over the most recent couple of months, which I believe is a positive sign), P3 and F3 have a passing pace of 55% and 57% individually - those outcomes are pretty steady across a years ago.

In actuality, E pillar appears to get the most noteworthy scores. So in the event that you don't have the foggiest idea how to move toward a specific level and in case you're propelled by progress, endeavor E paper first. Obviously, that isn't in every case valid, all things considered.

The equivalent goes for the E papers. We are people and we have an inclination towards a particular pillar. For example, my inclination rating is E > P > F. I generally passed E with no issue, on the principal sitting. P was consistently a major stretch for me as most importantly, I am a changed over management accountant. I had management accounting subjects during my college time, I had some presentation at work, however I've generally been an evaluator or a regulator. Also, that clarifies why F was the most grounded. Measurably, I'm among the minority here.

My point is that everybody has an inclination for a specific pillar (paper). In the event that a disappointment puts you off, start with a point you appreciate the most. On the off chance that you are new to CIMA and can't generally pass judgment on dependent on the papers' names, take a gander at the prospectus. Also, on the off chance that you actually don't have a clue and you need accomplishment to make a big difference for you, go for E papers first.

 We should take a gander at every pillar over those 5 years:

CIMA referenced that over the long run, the inquiries would be updated and supplanted. They do that each quarter. As should be obvious what was acceptable, remained all the more less the equivalent, despite the fact that I'm astonished that CIMA didn't effectively make E2 (the red line) a touch more troublesome… 2019 prospectus appears to try and made it considerably more sensible, which is extraordinary for students.

The positive point here is that all the pass rates for the E pillar are going up.

Overall, P pillar is making the most difficulties for students. In any case, the outline represents itself with no issue - the pass rates for each P paper are going up!

I see 3 potential reasons here:

·       Questions have been marginally overhauled and in this way the test's trouble has somewhat diminished.

·       Students become more OK with CBA (Computer-based Assessments).

·       The syllabus changes in 2019 has been very positive making the subjects easier and organized. This can be seen from the graph wherein all the subjects’ pass rates have increased post the syllabus change.

This is actually an elevated level diagram. It would be truly intriguing to plunge further and see which parts of P pillar are causing so much trouble. However, the significant level information is all we have. Skillstride Academy's tests have inherent usefulness to consistently illuminate you how well you've done on a particular part and inside a particular part or even section - so you know where you need to improve. I'd prefer to see that sort of information coming from CIMA's tests one day. We do help you with the training program that helps you to learn and revise at the same time so that you are prepared well and gain confidence to sit for the exam.

What would I be able to state here - CIMA is by all accounts changing (somewhat) the numbers - the "simple" F1 paper is turning into a smidgen more troublesome? The more troublesome F2 and F3 are turning into somewhat simpler. I accept that is because of the alterations that CIMA does each quarter and furthermore that students get more acquainted with the test's current circumstance.

 Last remark on OT tests

That is the reason I trust it is so critical to appropriately design your planning. Kaplan has done research and the result was that the more information checked (amendment questions) you install in your considering cycle, the higher possibility of breezing through the test on the main attempt you will have. I would state it is presence of mind, however it is a great idea to have appropriate exploration never really up what I'm continually saying.

FTP implies First Time Pass rate. It speaks to just Kaplan's student populace, yet I think it is protected to state that it identifies with the entire CIMA students' populace. The result is straightforward - you need to rehearse more to pass. I have seen many of my fellow students struggling to pass, wasting their time, money and efforts by failing to pass the exams due to inappropriate guidance that is required. The major motivation aspect behind Skillstride Academy is to resolve all the problems to students that I have faced as a student and make sure students do not quit and they stay committed to become a CGMA one day.

Cert level progress

Here is a little issue. The new prospectus began uniquely in January 2017, so there isn't sufficient information to show you the development of the BA1-BA4 pass rates. In any case, we can in any case get an inclination how that could look like on the off chance that you take a gander at the C01, C02, C04 and C05 papers.

All things considered, the issue with the performance pillar pattern begins from here. BA2 is called Fundamentals of Management Accounting and intelligently it is the reason for the further P pillar, so it's anything but an unexpected that the pass rates are the most minimal.

Better outcomes we can see on the BA3 side - Fundamentals of Financial Accounting, which is a prologue to the F pillar.

Update made in 2019: The results of the most recent 2 years of pass rates distributed by CIMA are awful! I thought I got my numbers wrong, so I triple checked them! It is valid. BA2 was somewhat "going downhill" yet arriving at 59% and afterward 60%, that is somewhat of an embellishment! Also, the way that the "consistently with great pass rates" BA4 has nearly arrived at the base, it is astounding! We ought to ask - I'm not catching it's meaning? Either the nature of the students has diminished (hard to have confidence in that) or CIMA has installed such a large number of interesting quetions inside their tests. Possibly it is on the grounds that BA4 has 85 questions and not 60 like some other tests. That is another component - and I am enticed to bring up that the numbers show that 85 questions  may be a needless excess. In any case, that is only my unassuming sentiment...

Update made in 2020: Good thing is that since the introduction of 2019 schedule, BA level has altogether expanded (despite the fact that those 2 syllabuses, changes are not associated). It appears to be that CIMA has acknowledged and made enhancements in the test questions, which is brilliant information!

This graph looks more like Alps or Himalayas!

What this could let us know is the way that when you arrive at the MCS and SCS level, you will have the important aptitudes and experience to put forth a concentrated effort well.

In all honesty, I don't have the foggiest idea how to decipher that. How about we attempt...

OCS - from what I get with students and what I read on various examination gatherings; the vast majority of the students attempt to get ready for those tests all alone. It is somewhat of a stun to hop into the OCS in the wake of breezing through just OT tests. Likewise, the number of inhabitants in those tests is the least as some you get the exceptions from the full operational level. One extra idea that strikes a chord is that MAYBE whoever is composing questions for OCS tests, isn't generally… consistent as once they appear to be simple and once troublesome. That is everything I can say presently regarding it…

 MCS students are doing entirely well. The pass rate is around 60-70% and even it was near 80% during a one-year time frame.

From my experience, I can say that most of students really pursues these classes from the learning partners, and clearly that is reflected in the pass rates.

 Gateway - what is dismal however, is the pass paces of the CIMA Gateway tests. Just to remind you (in the event that you don't have the foggiest idea), Gateways tests are really MCS (no distinction according to the substance of the test). Anyway, for Gateway students, this is their first purpose of contact with CIMA and it is expected that the information that they ought to have picked up on the off chance that they didn't have the exceptions, is there. Honestly, it is a great deal of materials to cover since you need to survey the entire Operational and Management level papers (CIMA likewise recommends to audit the Foundation level, yet I think this is a cycle of an exaggerate). Here I firmly recommend to pursue an amendment course planned explicitly for the Gateway students.

We do have the correction materials, anyway they are meant to revive your insight as it were. In any case, in the event that you would feel certain to reconsider the material all alone, I think it is an incredible asset to ensure you covered and comprehended the substance of all the past CIMA papers. We likewise have a course called CS Preparation, which targets giving you dense data you need before you begin getting ready for your test. As I would see it, it is smarter to tune in to guides who have prepared huge number of students, tuned in to their input and dependent on that have content that they can impart to you.

Once more, in the event that you are contemplating sitting the following CIMA Gateway, join us by sending us your enquiry through the chat option available on our website so I can furnish you with direction, tips and materials for the MCS test.

SCS - The pattern appears to increment with a "hick-up" in November 2016. Here's a tip - if a past case study pass rate was fairly low (like Nov'16), you can anticipate simpler renditions in the following sitting, however… those are only mine hypotheses.

On the off chance that you are considering getting ready for your next SCS test, the initial step is to modify the information you've gained from the E3, P3 and F3 papers. We've made that simpler for you and arranged a bunch of few recordings on our YouTube channel, keeping as a main priority the Case Study. Let's be honest, this is a Case Study test, you're not re-trying OT papers so you needn't bother with a similar information level concerning the OT papers. You need to have a different perspective and this is the thing that I did.
