Last 30 Days Strategy for CMA June 2025 Exams
The countdown has begun. If you are a CMA student with exams knocking on the door in the next 30 days, this blog is exactly what you need.
The final month before your professional exams can either make or break your attempt. Many students fall into the trap of endlessly watching lectures, just taking in content, and hoping it all works out in the exam hall. But that’s not how successful students operate.
In this blog, we will share a step-by-step strategy made especially for the last 30 days, followed by rank holders, one-attempt clearers, and even those who confidently bounced back from failure.
So let’s dive into the 30-day power plan to turn your preparation into performance!

Step 1: Stop Watching More Classes
This is the most important shift you need to make right now.
If you're still focused on completing lectures, you need to stop. Whatever portion you’ve covered till now is good enough to move forward.
Watching classes builds understanding, but it doesn’t build confidence or exam fitness. For that, you need revision and writing practice.
Step 2: Switch to Revision Mode Immediately
Even if your syllabus isn’t 100% done, now is not the time to aim for perfection. It’s time to shift from learning mode to performance mode.
Let us share a real story. A student once missed two months of classes due to college exams. He came back with barely 30 days left and was advised to forget what he missed and start practising. He appeared for both groups and cleared in one attempt!
His secret? He followed this exact 30-day revision plan with 100% discipline.
Step 3: Solve Past Term Papers (Not Just Watch Solutions)
This step alone can change your preparation game.
Take the last 5 term papers and at least 2 recent MTPs for each subject. Now start solving them:
- Write full answers — don’t just read.
- Once done, compare your answers with the suggested answers.
- Note your mistakes, make a sheet, and note down the points where you are making mistakes.
- Revise that list again and again until it becomes your strength.
This practice method helps you anticipate exam patterns and develop the ability to write answers quickly and accurately.
Step 4: Practice Theory Like Practical Subjects
Even in theory, subjects like Law or Audit:
Read the question.
Write down bullet points or headings you would include in the answer.
Then, check your approach against the model answers.
Avoid the trap of simply reading and thinking you’ve understood. Real retention only happens when you engage your brain through writing.
Step 5: Create a “Day-Before-Exam” Question List
One of the smartest things you can do is prepare a shortlist of questions that:
You made mistakes in
You feel are important for revision
Include tricky theory
Step 6: Feel the Exam Pressure with Mock Tests
You’ll only get 3 hours in the real exam, and if you haven’t trained your mind for it, you’ll panic. That’s why mock tests are non-negotiable.
SJC’s Mock Test Sangram is designed in a real exam setting :
Full Mocks for all subjects.
Checked answer sheets and with faculty remarks.
3-hour exam-like setting, camera on, no help allowed.
You get to know exactly where you stand and what to fix.
If you’re serious about passing this attempt, mock tests should become your weekly ritual.
Step 7: Learn from Your Mistakes Before the Result
The most successful students are not the ones who never make mistakes, but those who correct their mistakes during preparation, not after seeing the result.
This 30-day phase is all about:
Active writing
Repeated practice
Timed mock tests
Self-assessment
Prepare Smart, Not Just Hard
The final 30 days can either be spent worrying and finishing classes, or they can be the most powerful turning point in your exam journey. If you keep in mind this practice-based 30-day strategy, your chances of clearing the exam in one confident attempt go up significantly.
Remember:
Stop watching more.
Start solving more.
- Let your performance speak in the exam hall — not panic.
