If you're trying to find the best CIMA prep options to support you as you pursue CIMA certification, Varsity Tutors can help. CIMA tutoring is an excellent way to support your efforts even if you are already enrolled in a CIMA course. Private tutoring offers many benefits not available to students in a traditional classroom environment.
CIMA certification offers recipients a reliable way to enhance their professional image and advance their careers. One of the reasons the certification is so powerful on a resume is precisely because of its difficulty. Successful CIMA certification candidates reported spending about 150 hours on their CIMA prep endeavors. Many candidates reported that their CIMA test prep included CIMA classes, personalized tutoring, and independent study. If you are serious about giving your CIMA test preparation efforts your best, it is important to consider all of your options.
When you enroll in a CIMA class, you will cover all of the topics on the exam in a predetermined order and at a regimented pace. While this is great in theory, it doesn't always work out well in practice. You see, each person has their own unique learning style and pace and it's impossible for a standard classroom experience to take this into account when teaching many students at once. One of the advantages of including tutoring as part of your CIMA prep is the individualized instruction you are able to receive.
CIMA tutors are able to work directly with you on the exact areas you need to review. This means you can go at your own pace and slow down when something isn't quite clicking the way you need it to. They can also help guide you on your independent study time. It's easier to know what to study when you have extra time if you have someone with experience outlining your study plan. Whether you need a little extra help on risk measurements or applied finance and economics, a qualified tutor can help.
Thorough CIMA test prep includes all of the topics covered on the CIMA exam. For more information on some of the topics you can explore with your tutor, please see the information below:
CIMA Topics (Non-Comprehensive)
- Risk and Return
- Risk Measurements
- Performance Measurement and Attribution
- Investment Policy
- Portfolio Construction
- Manager Search and Selection
- Portfolio Review and Revisions
- Fundamentals
- Stats and methods
- Applied Finance and Economics
- Fixed Income Investments
- Portfolio Theories and Models
- Behavioral Finance Theory
Of course you want your CIMA prep endeavors to cover the basics of the exam, but many students find their CIMA test prep doesn't quite prepare them for the testing experience itself. A standardized exam that takes up to 5 hours to complete is challenging for many students. By working with a tutor as part of your CIMA test prep you can also work on testing strategies that are applicable to all of the topics covered on the exam. Personalized tutoring is much more flexible than the instruction you will find in CIMA courses.
If you know you are ready to send your CIMA preparation to the next level, you should consider personal tutoring. Varsity Tutors can help you find the perfect tutor for your situation who can work with you individually to prepare for the exam. Contact Varsity Tutors now to connect with an experienced CIMA tutor.
