How to Plan CMA Final? After Clearing Inter (Both Groups)
Clearing both groups of CMA Inter is an important milestone. After this stage, many students feel uncertain about how to plan their CMA Final preparation, especially when it comes to deciding between both groups or group-wise attempts, managing practical training, and allocating sufficient time for studies and revision.
This blog is prepared based on a detailed guidance session and explains a practical and realistic approach to planning the CMA Final.
1. One Important Principle Before You Start
Before starting CMA Final preparation, it is important to follow one basic principle:
Follow one plan and one mentor at a time.
Taking guidance from multiple sources, friends, seniors, and online platforms often creates confusion and affects consistency. CMA Final preparation requires clarity and discipline, which comes from following a single, well-defined plan.
2. First Decision: Both Groups Together or Group-wise
After clearing both groups of CMA Inter, the first decision is whether to prepare both groups of CMA Final together or to go group-wise.
Preparing Both Groups Together
This option may be considered if:
You are not engaged in a job or practical training
You can consistently study for around 10 hours a day
You are mentally prepared for long, continuous study hours
You can maintain the same routine for several months
Some students have cleared both groups together successfully, but this approach requires strong commitment and consistency.
Group-wise Preparation
Group-wise preparation is more suitable if:
You are working or planning to start practical training
Long study hours affect your focus
You prefer a steady and manageable preparation pace
Preparing one group at a time allows sufficient time for understanding concepts, revision, and exam readiness.
3. Why CMA Final Preparation Needs Time
CMA Final is a detailed and concept-oriented course. It cannot be rushed.
Classes require time to complete properly
Concepts need time to be understood and absorbed
Revision is essential and cannot be skipped
Even with regular study hours, completing one group properly requires several months. Short-term planning usually leads to incomplete preparation and weak exam performance.
4. Suggested Group-wise Planning Flow
Start Group I classes
Complete classes and revise thoroughly
Appear for the Group I examination
Begin practical training immediately after
Continue Group II classes along with training
Keep adequate time only for revision
Appear for the Group II examination
This flow helps manage studies and training together without unnecessary pressure.
5. Planning Practical Training Along with Classes
If training has not started yet, continue classes regularly
Once training begins, reduce class load but do not stop studying
Select practical training aligned with your long-term career goals
Avoid joining training only for completion purposes
Practical training plays an important role in adding value to your CMA qualification.
