Web: Online Practice Test Features – Brand New Format for Version 2.0
The Web-based portion of this course is integral to understanding and retaining the material. The components described below will help you review, synthesize, and apply the CMA content.

The format used for all questions corresponds to the format used on the CMA exam. Therefore, a multiple-choice format is used for parts 1, 2, and 3 and an essay format is used for part 4.

Pre-test. Full exam-part simulated practice tests.  Includes an exam-part test that is fully representative of the total questions in the actual exam-part (i.e. 110 questions in parts one and three), in the exact proportion by section (i.e. 25% section A, 20% section B, etc.).  Use this option as a pre or post test as often as needed.

Section quizzes. Section quizzes, found in parts 1, 2, and 3, allow you to check your understanding and retention of materials. For each question, you are provided feedback and a reference to the relevant section of text to ensure that you understand the material.

eFlashcards. Review and test your knowledge of the CMA glossary of terms.  Based on your individual preference, you can choose to either define a term or identify a term based on definition.

Essay questions. The essay questions in part 4 challenge you to synthesize the information you have learned from parts 1, 2, 3, and 4. By writing an essay on a given topic and comparing your answer to a suggested response, you will test your understanding in a format similar to that used in the actual CMA exam.

Gradebook.  Individuals and/or managers can track course progress through the grade report feature that includes scores on full exam-part tests and section quizzes by date.
