Make sure you finish all your subjects and notes making also cut down the number of sums to be practised next time by at least 30%-50%. This 30%-50 % will be of all the materials you will be referring for exams like institute material, Reference Books, classes notes etc.

Tips for Writing CMA Foundation Examination:
- Utilise 15 minutes reading time very effectively to choose those questions which you are most comfortable with.
- Total Writing time = 180 minutes
- Provision for Normal Loss during exams = 30 minutes
- Net writing time = 150 minutes
- Time per 1 mark = 150 minutes / 100 marks = 1.5 minutes
- So a 2 mark question should be solved/answered in = 2 x 1.5 = 3 minutes
- 10 marks question should be answered in = 10 x 1.5 minutes = 15 minutes and so on.
Remember, if you are going beyond this time schedule, then, you need to gear up
and adjust somewhere.
