Course description
CIMA Professional: Operational Objective Test + Case Study
CIMA Objective Tests
Objective Test questions are selected randomly and will cover all of the learning outcomes within the syllabus. Exams use a combination of multiple-choice, data entry, fill in the gaps and drag/drop questions. There is an on-screen calculator to help you.
You can take the exams at any time, they last 90 minutes and there is no pre-exam reading time. The exams have a computer automated marking system so results will be available shortly after the sitting.
Operational Level Exams
The Professional Qualification is made up of two types of computer-based assessments:
90 minute Objective Test for each of the three subjects within a levelA three hour case study exam which you can sit when you have completed all Objective Tests at that level and want to progress to the next level.Dates and scheduling
Objective Test are available all year round. We recommend that you schedule an exam at least 2 weeks in advance of when you would like to sit. Case Study exams are available in 4 windows a year, the exams run for five days from Tuesday to Saturday in a set week. You need to book on to your exam by the exam entry deadline set by CIMA.
