We’ve decided to shed some light on the new 2017 CIMA Cert BA syllabus, that has become the current one for the certification level (as of 11 of January 2017).

Here's another interesting article about how do you study. We will describe here the VARK model, as people like to learn in different ways. Do you know your own style? Have a read, I do believe you will find it interesting!

The New Year is almost here. So what do you plan to achieve in 2017? Have you had the time to think about it yet? Experts recommend that you do the planning well ahead of time. This gives you and your mind time to get used to an ambitious agenda for the next year if that is what you want to do.

When you think about passing professional exams like CIMA, one of the biggest challenges is about finding time to study. It is also about finding ways to optimise the use of that precious time. Knowing about the basics of learning and memory is a good place to begin because unless we do appreciate our own limitations, we cannot really overcome them.

If you are single and studying full time for professional exams such as CIMA, you are one of the lucky ones. Most CIMA students are studying while they work. And quite a few have family obligations to deal with, including kids.

But passing your exams is also a priority, especially if you have already started. Putting off studies is never a good idea. You tend to lose momentum and also your motivation if you keep putting things off. 

What to do when you fail the same exam over and over again? It's especially hard for your mental sake, as you tend to feel like a failure (which you’re NOT, remember that!). You've spent so much time learning and developing your knowledge, and when you sit in front of the computer, you take this exam and you fail yet again… You feel like you're never going to pass this exam, EVER!
