In order to facilitate and speed up the communication, we've compiled this most commonly asked question list.
Go ahead and explore and if you still have any other question, drop us an email.
Registration to our FREE questions can be found here:
If you don't see any sign-up form there, that means you are already registered. Just press the "Go to My Products" pink button and then click on "My Free Packages"
If you see the sign-up form, but for some reason, the system doesn't allow you to go through, most reasons are:
- You have previously created an account using the same email address. Just follow the link, that has appeared above the sign-up form, in order to login to your account. In case, I paste the login link here.
- You didn't fill in all the fields. Remember to select the paper for which you'd like to get your free package.
Our practice tests are interactive and accessible online via your personal account. You would need to be logged in our platform in order to be able to practise questions or watch our course videos.
Free or paid packages are accessible directly form within this page, where you should be redirected after you login:
That is very uncommon as our hosting provider guarantees more than 99% uptime. But still, if that situation happens, please wait a minute and reload the site. If that continues, that may be caused by your browser's stored cookies. We suggest trying to open our website on another device (e.g. phone) or using another browser.
There could be few reasons:
- if you press the login button and nothing happens, there is most likely something unusual with your browser's stored cookies. You could clean up your browser's cache (if you don't know how to do it, just google that phrase with the name of your browser and operating system). Our experience shows that the best results are on Chrome. The biggest number of issues were observed on Edge.
- you could have also deactivated your account by inputting too many times the wrong login credentials. If this situation happens, just drop us an email on contact@practicetestsacademy.com We'll help you unblock your account.
We'd just want to make sure you are looking in the right place. After you login to PTA's website, you should be automatically redirected here: https://www.practicetestsacademy.com/my-subscribed-plans
In order to access:
- free packages - on the above-mentioned page, please find a tab/button saying "My free packages".
- paid packages - on the above-mentioned page, scroll a bit and you will find the pink button(s) with the name of the package(s) you have bought. If you have previously bought any packages from us, and they are not there, they might have expired. In order to check that, please click this link: https://www.practicetestsacademy.com/membership-profile and click on the subscription history tab. You will find the expiry date there. We send reminders before our packages expire.
Also, one thing to mention is that you'd need to have a stable Internet connection. Our tests are online based.
We recommend using a Chrome browser, although the tool should be compatible with the major browsers. However experience shows, that sometimes when the main browsers or operating systems release major updates, there might be some incompatibility issues. We promise to do what we can when that happens, but please notify us and give us a bit of time. Those issues are the hardest to find and the most time-consuming... Thank you in advance.
It's very easy. Go to our website and register. Then you will have instant access.

With our tool you will easily understand where your weak sides are so you can better prepare for the exam.
I would advise you to create a free account and stay up to date with all our promotions and useful info about CIMA.
Also, have a look at our blog. It describes actual experiences that Justyna went through when she faield her F3 exam and how she overpassed that hurdle.
You will have to be online, our tests or courses are not downloadable.
The idea is that you get used to how the real exams are conducted.
Also we can protest our intellectual property and prevent others from committing copyright crimes .
I understand your concern. I can assure you that our tool is worth the price, it is developed by the best CIMA tutors and experts and is with very high quality. We offer mock exams at a lower price.
However, we regularly have discounts. To learn when will be the next one, please subscribe to our newsletter (we are planning one soon).
Also please check our PTA Best Deals section here. Each month we give great offers for a different topic.
Our tests are definitively NOT the same. PTA has hired plenty of great tutors and business professionals, who spent more than a year to come up with a database of 10,000 unique, high-quality questions.
We only used the paper's structure form kaplan study books, meaning our chapters have the same chapter as the CIMA official publisher's books. But quesitons, corses and study notes were written by our tutors.
As the feedback is not mandatory for our students we cannot provide you with exact numbers, but based on the emails we receive, we believe that the majority of students pass their exam on the first attempt.
It is our main mission - to help all CIMA students pass their exam, and to achieve that we offer money-back guarantee. Please let us know if there is anything else you are interested in knowing, we will be happy to answer.
Unfortunately we do not have the newest version of MCS materials’ analysis. We’ve made a strategic decision to pull out of Case Studies for now as we want to focus more on CIMA OT packages - to improve and expand them.
But we have started a cooperation with another quality case study provider, so if you are interested in getting the newest materials from them, please visit our website for more information:
Yes, there is! They can help you out with doubts you may have about the questions or about the theory (if you get stuck and need more help understanding the concept).
There are 3 ways how you can reach out to our tutors.

As a matter of fact, we do have video lectures for half of the professional level. We have video lectures for:
- CIMA P1 Management Accounting
- CIMA P2 Advanced Management Accounting
- CIMA P3 Risk Management
- CIMA E3 Strategic Management
- CIMA F3 Financial Strategy
For each complete video course, we add study notes (our own summaries of Kaplan's chapters), end of chapter questions, access to our best selling practice kits with 500 questions and access to our tutors.

Shortly describe your situation. Justyna will come back to you with a solution that would work well for both parties.
We're setting up a dedicated platform for other tuition providers. We will be the only online platform, that has a build in "tutor" function, which will allow the tutor to view the students' dashboard.
What it means is that you could give your students homework (for example practice questions form chapter 5) and then check how did they do.
