The CIMA Management Accounting exam is the official Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) test registered under exam code CIMAPRO19-P01-1. Passing it earns you the CIMA Operational certification, a credential at the Operational Level level. It is also linked to the related certifications: CIMA Professional Qualification Operational Level, CIMA Diploma in Management Accounting, Operational Case Study (OCS). Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) exams are valued because they test job-ready skills, so a passing score here carries real weight on a resume.

The CIMA Management Accounting exam includes 60 questions to be completed within 90 minutes. Do the pacing math before exam day: with that many items on the clock, you need a steady rhythm and the discipline to flag a hard question and move on instead of stalling. Two or three full timed sessions with the TestKingIT test engine will show you exactly what that pace feels like, so time pressure stops being a factor on the real day.

To pass the CIMA Management Accounting exam you need 100/150, and the official registration fee is USD 120. A retake is not discounted: a failed attempt means paying the full USD 120 again, so treat your first sitting as the expensive one. A sensible rule is to book your seat only after you are scoring comfortably above the passing mark on the TestKingIT practice tests, not just squeaking past it once.

No mandatory prerequisite examination. Candidates typically complete or receive exemptions for Certificate in Business Accounting subjects before entering the Professional Qualification.

Eligibility rules do change from time to time, so confirm the current requirements before you register on the official exam page.
