Hey, welcome to VoraPrep Audio. Today's episode is from our CMA Exam Strategy Masterclass: "Cracking the CMA 360: The 50% Gatekeeper Rule".
Miss too many multiple-choice questions, and the computer locks you out before you even see the case studies. Here is the math behind the CMA exam.
Ava: Marcus, many candidates do not realize the CMA exam has a literal gatekeeper built into the software.
Marcus: It is the 50 percent rule. If you do not answer at least 50 out of the 100 MCQs correctly in the first three hours, the test ends. You do not even get to see the Constructed Business Questions.
Ava: And MCQs represent 75 percent of your total scaled score. If you average 80 percent on the MCQs, you only need modest partial credit on the CBQs to clear the 360 passing mark.
Marcus: Master your cost variances, working capital ratios, and WACC calculations, and you will sail right past that gate.
