Hi,

 I was just wondering if people have looked at the new publication from BPP regarding questions based on the actual Preseen material.

How useful do you think it will be and did anyone use one for the last set of exams?  If so, did it help?

 Cheers.

Hi everyone

 I believe thats the pre seen stuff (including analysis from Kaplan and BPP) which we're all losing sleep over in excitement over recieving :-)

 (Not me, I'm too shoddy for that).

Happy Valentine's Day!  Today is the 14th Feb and for those who are in a relationship, you may have spent a lot of time in advance for preparation.  Your checklist of today may includes:

Hi, just realised that CSA is offering a free mock. 

Please download and lets discuss it. Giving your analysis and discussion here.

Please find below the link to the free mock:

I find that I am always rushed by the time I get to my recommendations in the exam.

The way we are advised to write our report is to discuss and analyse each of the 4-5 issues, then do a seperate section to make recommendations on each of the 4-5 issues.

Is there any reason why I can't discuss and analyse issue one, then make recommendations before I move on to issue 2? I think this could save time and allow me to put more focus into my recommendations which is an important area for gaining marks.

Hi everyone

We are looking for a few CIMA students or members who began studying for the CIMA qualification straight from school at 16 or from A-Levels or equivalent at 18 to take part in case studies which will be featured on our web site.  Here’s an example: http://bit.ly/ajoBQK

If you would be interested please reply in the thread below and I can contact you through CIMAsphere, or you can email me at press(at)cimaglobal.com and we can discuss next steps.

Does anybody know where I can get hold of a copy of the March/May 2010 TOPCIMA case study?

I have been advised that this is available now but can't seem to locate it.

Many thanks.
