Hey Guys,

Does anyone know how they give marks in top cima exam....Its kind of complicated & i cant understand.Do they devide our marks from 2 so that we get marks from 50 & pass mark is 25?

I have just been through the March 2012 PEG and noted the examiners top four issues.

Unfortuantely I did not get all four issues as the examiner did but did get the top 3 issues in my top 4.

I think this is a very important learning experience for me as I failed this exam and so it brings me to question the reasoning behind the priorities.

Hi all

Hi all,

I am looking to sit for the CBA Top cima feb 28th 2012 (right now I feel like I'm on an Island, I need survival tips :) ) is there any body who can give constructive advice and share experience about passing Topcima. ALso, I don't mind a study partner(s).

Thanks.

Regards,

Mo.

I'd like to introduce you to another of my colleagues - Julia Harrison, who you may already know from the CIMAsphere discussion boards.

With the November 2011 behind us, you may be considering if you should sit for the T4 Part B exam in either late Feb or late May 2012.  Well, the preseen case for these exams has been released today and you can download it here.

Hello,

Can someone please clarify for me the process to complete this stage.

As i understand it you have to sit all three papers at first time sitting.

Do i have to them pass them all before i attempt T4?

Thanks in advance for your replies. 

Hi, 

Does anyone knows if CIMA publishing will be publishing a new official text for T4 for the May 2012 diet? 

The examiner's answers for both sittings of the Papy case study are now available - please note that you will need to be logged in to MyCIMA.

How did everyone find todays paper? I didn't think it was too actually.

 I'm curious to know how people prioritised the issues

 I did:-

1. Change managment

2. Balanced scorecard

3. Rebuild stores

4. Electricity

Am I right in saying that the marker receives a print out of the exam scripts?

 Therefore it would make sense to use as little formulae as possible to show all numbers used in Excel calculations?

 Thanks,

 Rich

Hi,

I've now finished my exams so i'm looking to find a home for all my study materials. These are all BPP textbooks and their own study (lecture) notes from the taught courses that they offer. I'm not up to date on the various iterations of the syllabus so please check for your own peace of mind.

How are you feeling? Prepared and confident? Slightly nervous? Terrified?

At this late stage, you just need to take a deep breath and go for it. Here are a few posts you might find useful:
