Any CMA’s in this forum that will like to share their experience with the Part 1 exam.

Will be highly appreciated.

Thank you @mtaylo24 !

@tvpaul: I would still finish up the CMA lol regardless of my AUD score. CMA is much easier to conquer IMO.

[tvpaul]

@QueenCPA CONGRATS! Look at us Another71ers just killing it haha

The CMA being easier is what makes me want to push it off because I start work on 9/6 so if I failed FAR or REG, I'd rather have those few weeks to study full time and knock them out. I'm scared I won't be able to handle studying while working haha

[QueenCPA]

@tvpaul: More similarities. I am also starting work 9/5.

Makes sense. Hopefully we get a good news next week.

You are seeing both FAR and REG so that's great.

My FAR result doesn't come out until September.

[tvpaul]

@QueenCPA alright this is starting to get weird haha

Let's just hope that we pass all 6 and never have to worry about this again

[QueenCPA]

@tvpaul

What did you end up doing?

I took the CMA 2 and hopefully done with that now. Although I failed AUD.

Scheduled that for Q4.

I assume you took FAR or REG and postponed CMA 1

I took CMA Part 1 in September 2016. You have to know a lot about variances and budgeting! The best part of the CMA is that I decided on a whim to take BEC 1 week after the CMA. I used the 1 week in between to brush up on the topics that don't overlap with the CMA (IT, Econ, etc) and passed with no issues. Currently a CMA and hopefully fairly soon a CPA as well 🙂

@QueenCPA

The most important thing to know for Part 2 of the CMA is the ratios. Know every single one of them…

[QueenCPA]

Thank you @accountingmisfit

I passed the CMA 1 and recently took the CMA 2.

Waiting for the November score release but quite optimistic.

How was your audit exam? I failed in Q1 and currently studying for a retake soon.

[QueenCPA]

Also, I like your FAR score 🙂

@queencpa

Thanks! It'll be nice to have the CMA behind you.

I felt good about AUD which somewhat terrifies me…they say there is an inverse relationship between how you feel and how you score! Aside from AUD, what other exams do you have left?

[tvpaul]

@QueenCPA yep ended up retaking FAR a few days ago and put CMA part 1 on the back burner for now! FAR felt much better this time though so hoping for the best! Gonna try to take REG by mid/end November and probably restudy for the CMA part 1 after busy season 🙂

@tvpaul

I am also expecting my FAR score. Took it before I started studying for CMA 2.

There is no other CMA window this year after September/October.

You might want to take it sooner.

[tvpaul]

@QueenCPA I'm actually just dedicating the rest of 2017 for the CPA. I want to put all my energy into REG and get that under my belt and then take the last CMA part in 2018. I think you have 3 years to pass both CMA parts so I'm in no rush for that

[QueenCPA]

@tvpaul

That's right – you have 3 years.

That's good! I wish you all the best with FAR and REG.
