Hi Bob,
Sorry, I forgot to complete the answer to the question 1.

For the Part2, you need read at least 1 additional book regarding the management accounting or costing, and you need to read an intermediate financial accounting (reporting, US GAAP, something like that), you could find the book list in my blog. Or you can try to contact the training org to see what they would recommend.
So how long you will take to pass P2, depends on when you could finish the reading of the books with total 1200-2000 pages. For some genius, they need only 1 month, but I read for about 3 months.
And then the testing, I suggest that you take about 2 months to do that, and better get a computerized (Gleim or similar would be ok, I’m not sure if Aura could let you have it) simulation testing (it’s important because you need to practice how to control the exam time for P2).


For part4, you need to read lot. Rigos or Gleim, all could be ok, I read the Rigos, it’s really helpful.
And you need about 2 months to prepare the P4.

Hi Bob,

Very glad to see your email.
1, for each part P1 and P3, you may need 1 month for reading and 1 or 2 months for testing.
2, depends on whether you like to do the self-study, I attend the correspondence course and they sent the materials by mail.
But now situation changed, there is official training org, Aura (it’s a successful training org in PMP), in BJ, I added person in charge of the CMA project, Wendy, in the “copy”.
By attending their course, you could know a lot of people from different types of MNCs.
3, If you need the materials only, please just buy them via the website of Gleim, but I should let you know, it’s a little expensive.
And I would like to introduce two friends to you, Linda and Harry, the CMA Beijing Office.
Any question on the CMA, pls feel free to let me know or call me directly.




1.对于在**工作的我来说，每个忙季可以用于学习的时间并不多，但是还想了解一下关于这个考试每个part大概需要的时间
或者说您的学习计划可否让我参考一下
2.这个考试适合自学还是需要参加辅导班？
3.在网上查了查，貌似用gleim的教材和光盘就差不多，是吗？但是这些资料从哪里买到呢？
呵呵，暂时骚扰至此，先谢过了。
