try to revise as much information back as you can.
R – Review. Go back to your book and review the points 
you highlighted and notes to remember it all at home.
4. Decide How Long to 
Study for the CMA Exam
So how long can you study for the CMA 
exam?
On an average, you want to decide about 16 weeks of 
studying for each part of the exam to maximize your chances 
of cracking the exam. This is the total amount of time for my 
own CMA study course, and it’s worked really well and is good 
for my students over all the years. When I was preparing for 
my CMA exam, I dedicated all three months of my time to CMA 
preparation. Now the CMA exam format has lit a bit, I highly 
recommend you for at least four months of CMA exam 
preparation. Every day after my job , I went to Starbucks with 
my iPad and book and studied for approx 3-4 hours. Every 
hour I took a 10-minute break to stretch my arms and legs. 
During weekends, I went to another cafe and studied for 10 
hours in total, like 3 hours in the morning, 4 hours in the 
afternoon, and 3 hours in the evening. Again, I took a 10-
minute break for every hour to make me feel better.
5. Create a 
Conducive Study 
Atmosphere
An underrated, but useful tool for cracking 
the CMA exam, is to create an atmosphere 
that is good for your studying needs.
Clear away all the distractions and block the 
noises so that you can focus 100% on 
studying for the exam.
It means shutting off your phone, and 
signing out from all the social media 
platforms will help you so much better.
