Easy or difficult exam? Be prepared for any possibility!

One interesting aspect of the CIMA Case Study exam is that for every sitting their are five variants of the exam.

Students will see some variants as easy and others as relatively difficult.

You need to be aware that if you get an exam that you perceive to be 'easy', then you will probably have to provide a very high quality answer in order to stand out from the crowd.

The average mark for the variant is likely to be initially high, but this will be lowered in the moderation process to ensure that all students are treated equally regardless of the variant they received.

On the other hand, don't panic if you get a 'difficult' exam! As long as you have put in the hours of revision you will be in a great position to give a good answer.

The benchmark for this variant is likely to be relatively lower which will be reflected in how the exam is marked and the moderation process.

Either way practise is key!

The best way to prepare yourself for any variant is practise practise practise....

With this in mind, why not try our mock exams?!

These are designed with varying levels of difficulty to reflect the sorts of variants you will get in the real exam.

Don't miss out on this great offer!
