CMA Exam Part 2 is similar in format and length to CMA Exam Part 1, but that is where the similarities end. Covering an entirely different set of subject matter, Part 2 of the CMA exam needs its own CMA study guide, materials, and practice.

The first thing you need to know is that you should study for each part of the CMA exam for at least 16 weeks. You don’t need to study for them together, since you won’t take them at the same time.

Many people also wonder if they have to take the CMA exam parts in sequence. You don’t. You can take them out of order. In fact, many people choose to take part 2 first. That’s exactly what I did.

However you schedule it out, know that CMA Exam Part 2 is going to require an earnest effort. If you’re ready to tackle it, let’s begin.

Originally published in 2012, this article was updated and republished on January 25, 2021.

CMA Part 2 Syllabus

CMA Part 2 Syllabus

CMA part 2 syllabus covers six topic areas. These are:

  1. Financial statement analysis, which accounts for 20% of your exam score.
  2. Corporate finance, which accounts for 20% of your exam score.
  3. Decisions analysis, which accounts for 25% of your exam score.
  4. Risk management, which accounts for 10% of your exam score.
  5. Investment decision, which accounts for 10% of your exam score.
  6. Professional ethics, which accounts for 15% of your exam score.

Both the exam questions and essay questions will relate to these subject areas. The percentages are weighted calculations based on your actual number of right answers.

It’s important that you take each section seriously and dedicate study time to learning the content you’ll be tested on.

Most CMA candidates use a review course to learn the content through a combination of videos, audio lectures, and textbooks. A complete CMA review course also includes a study plan, practice exams, and coaching to keep you on track.

Some people find it helpful to start with the big picture and work down into the specifics. Read on for more detail on each section of the CMA Exam Part 2.

CMA Exam Part 2 Format

CMA Part 2 Format

All of the content listed above is organized into part 2 of the CMA exam in a pretty straightforward way. There are two sections, and both are computer-based.

Read on to learn the exam format, what the two sections entail, and how they’re scored.

Multiple Choice Questions

On the CMA exam, you’ll begin with multiple-choice questions. According to the IMA, these are some basic facts about the multiple-choice questions in CMA Exam Part 2:

  • 75% of your overall score
  • 100 questions total
  • No marks off for wrong answers
  • You will have 3 hours, or about 1.8 minutes per question
  • You must get 50% of the questions correct to progress to the essay questions

Note: The best Certified Management Accountant practice tests will include a huge assortment (and number) of multiple-choice questions. Practicing with a realistic timed exam simulation should be a core part of your CMA exam prep.

Make sure your study materials include a quality bank of practice questions that have authentic, varied material. It’s also important that you find thorough answer explanations. Ideally, you’ll be a CMA study program that has all of these materials, so you can study in a streamlined way.

Essay Questions

CMA exam essay questions come after multiple-choice questions. Here are the details:

  • 25% of your overall score
  • 2 essays total
  • Each essay will be a scenario that has 5-7 additional questions
  • You will have one hour, or about 30 minutes per essay question

To effectively answer CMA essay questions, be sure you read the question in its entirety, take notes, show your work as you go, and pay attention to what is actually being asked. You want to write clearly and succinctly.

It’s best not to leave questions blank. If you are running out of time, you should at least create an outline and jot down some main points.

Conquering both sections on part 2 of the CMA exam requires a plan.

CMA Part 2 Study Plan

Study Plan for CMA Part 2

No question, the CMA exam is difficult. It’s intended to test your ability to apply knowledge of advanced accounting and financial management concepts in the real world.

This is a more in-depth studying experience than an exam that only tests you on facts. You can’t rely on memorization skills alone, or even primarily. Passing the CMA exam requires knowing the material enough to apply it expertly under the timed pressure of the exam.

The right CMA Part 2 study plan is going to guide you through all the content areas and provide the right amount of practice. You need to plan your study time well, cover all of the material, and buy the right course.

Here are the basics of putting together your plan to conquer CMA Part 2:

Plan Your Study Time

You should dedicate at least 16 weeks of study for part 2 of the CMA exam. Over the course of those weeks, you will ideally follow a program that organizes your study for you.

Whether you self-study, partially self-study or commit totally to a single CMA course, don’t deviate from your plan. The sheer quantity of content you need to learn makes even four months seem short.

Once you know how long you are going to study, reverse-engineer a CMA study plan that allocates your study hours by month, week and even day. Getting that specific will give you clear parameters and help you understand the kind of effort it’s really going to take.

Practice All Question Types

Within the 100 multiple choice questions are various question types. You may encounter one of the following four question types:

  1. Negative questions, which will include phrasing like “not” or “unless.”
  2. Direct questions, which are the most frequently used type.
  3. Multiple answer options, in which you’ll have to choose one, more than one or none.
  4. Variable questions, which are similar to multiple answers but presented in columns.

Practice quickly identifying the question type, and develop strategies based on each type. The faster you can eliminate wrong answers the better, and the question type can help you do that.

Make sure your study plan includes a full practice exam at the start and again after you’ve reviewed all the material. At that point, you’ll be able to identify your weak areas, as well as the type of questions that trip you up.

Online Courses

CMA online courses provide a full-length study program that is usually taught by CMA experts. A good package will have video lessons, audio lessons, CMA textbooks, CMA practice questions, exam simulations, and may include additional study support.

Buying the right CMA review course is super important. It will literally make or break your progress. Check out our guide to choosing the best CMA review course, pick one, and get started!

CMA Part 2 FAQs

FAQ

Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about part 2 of the CMA exam.

Which is Harder: CMA Part 1 or Part 2?

CMA Exam Part 1 and Part 2 cover different content. They both have several broad categories and cover a range of ideas. For most people, which section is more difficult comes down to education and experience. People who have a background in Finance usually have an easier time with the CMA Exam Part 2.

For professionals who have a degree in Accounting, CMA Exam Part 1 may be easier. Some people take the CMA exam without having any accounting experience at all. At that point, it may be valuable to review the content in both and decide which you want to take first based on personal knowledge and comfort level.

How Long Does it Take to Pass CMA Exam Part 2?

It takes at least 16 weeks to study for the CMA Exam Part 2. The exam itself is four hours long. Predicted score release dates are usually about 8 weeks after your test date.

What Topics to Study for Part 2 CMA?

Part 2 of the CMA exam covers six topics. You will need to study:

    1. Financial Statement Analysis
    2. Corporate Finance
    3. Decision Analysis
    4. Risk Management
    5. Investment Decisions
    6. Professional Ethics

How Difficult is CMA Part 2?

The CMA exam pass rate is 45% for both parts of the CMA exam. While the numbers are even for 2020, in previous years, Part 2 has had a higher pass rate than Part 1. This could mean that CMA test takers find part 2 slightly easier than part 1.

    Hi,

    I applied for CMA in Aug 2016 but I appeared for the exam in 2017 May. I heard that there is a time limit for clearing both exams which is 3 years. My question is 3 years is from 1st exam or from registration/enrollment, which in my case is Aug 2016 ?

    And also I have Gliem 2015 MCQs/material, can you confirm if there were any changes in the MCQs after that ? Because I checked 2018 Ethics and found few changes in the book. I don’t have MCQs for 2017 or 2018.

      Hi Mr Singh,

      The 3-year countdown starts from the day you paid the CMA entrance fee.

      And yes, the ICMA introduced some changes in FASB rules and standards in Part 1 this year. Due to that, I undoubtedly recommend you to study from the latest releases.

      I currently run a promotion on our Part 1 textbook, if you’re interested, please check it here.

      We also offer a test bank with unique adaptive-learning technology at the CMA Exam Academy. It will diagnose your strengths and weaknesses by content area and then tailor your study sessions to focus on your learning needs. It’s very effective and will dramatically reduce your study time. Check it out here.

      If you have any other questions, let me know! 🙂

      Hi Afzal,

      Don’t worry about your degree. There’s a lot of candidates who pass the CMA exam without an accounting degree.

      You will just need some extra effort in studying accounting-related concepts that may not be familiar to you.

      Hi,

      Yes, it is possible to take the exam in one testing window. Although I don’t suggest to take it on just one day. For example, you may take CMA Part 2 in May and CMA Part 1 in June ( for May/June 2017 testing window).

      Cheers,

      Congrats for passing the Part 1 of the CMA Exam! That is already a proof of your knowledge in finance and accounting. I suggest that you try applying for finance or accounting jobs after passing the CMA exam even if you don’t have prior experience in accounting. It will give you a big advantage over non-certified peers.

    I am an Indian student and currently living in Arizona state on a dependent visa (H4). I want to know which is better CMA or CPA . I have done Bachelors of Commerce (BCom) and Company Secretary (ICSI) from India.

      Jyoti, if you are looking to work in private accounting and in management, the CMA is the way to go. If you prefer public accounting, taxes and audit the CPA is more relevant.

    Hi,
    i currently hold the CPA license but work as a cost accountant for the past 10 year. We are are on a job order costing method and i usually analyze all the mfg variances, purchase price variance, Gross profit margin analysis and standard cost maintainence. As a cost accountant, i also close all the jobs that were completed for the month and capture the Cost of Sales for the month.
    I really want to pursue the CMA cert. since i am interested in management accounting than taxes and auditing. i was wonder if you know if the experience i mention above will be ok for me to earn the CMA cert (if i pass the exam). PLease reply with your thoughts/comments. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
