About the Program
About 4Point Learning Systems' CMA Case Examination Preparation Course
What does it take to pass the CMA Case Examination?
Successful candidates prepare themselves based upon three key factors of success. Sufficient levels of technical knowledge, exam writing technique and mental toughness are required to perform well on the case exam. Early on, working to improve technical knowledge has the added benefit of enhancing the quality of your case analysis and improving your confidence. As the date of the exam draws near, however, working to increase technical knowledge drains your energy and your confidence.
MAKE IT HAPPEN
4Point Learning Systems Inc. has designed a program that candidates have used to help them achieve a passing grade on the CMA case examination. We have picked up where Grant MacEwan's Accounting Boot Camp® has left off. The magic of the program is not magic at all. Success results from hard work channeled toward the goal.
ADVANTAGES
Our staff are all expert in their field. We don’t refer to them as teachers. They are coaches. In addition to teaching, the coaches provide the leadership and organization required to set a personal best on game day.
PRE-COURSE MATERIALS
When you register for our preparation session you receive a set of computer discs (CD or DVD format) containing review notes and tips on case writing. This review package is an integral part of the preparation process and acts as a review and study guide prior to the residential sessions held in May.
Included in the material are two practice case exams that are to be completed and submitted for feedback. Each of these exams should be done over a two days with the Backgrounder being reviewed on the first day and the case written on the second day under exam conditions. These exams should be written by hand and scanned in and emailed to us for feedback. Alternatively, the completed practice cases could be faxed or mailed in.
Allow 100 to 120 hours to complete the material. Completed practice exams are to be submitted by the dates indicated. The exams will be returned and feedback offered where required.
Students must complete the pre-session material before arriving at camp.
