CIMA Exam Dates
Here we present the CIMA exam dates for 2022/2023 in an easy-to-understand way. Accelerate your CIMA journey with award-winning courses from VIVA.
%20(3).png)
It's always a good idea to plan ahead as early as possible, and especially so when studying for a challenging professional qualification like CIMA. However, the official CIMA exam dates can be a little tricky to find and navigate.
So we have created a simple guide for you here, where you can browse all the important CIMA exam dates and details over the coming 12 months.
A few provisional points before we get to the exam dates themselves:
- Note that there are only set exam dates for the CIMA Case Study exams. The Objective Test exams can be taken at any point throughout the year, contingent on opening dates and hours for official exam centres
- Since 2019, CIMA has changed slightly the structure of the Case Study exams. Previously there was a new pre-seen released for each exam window (i.e. one for February, one for May, one for August etc). Now, one pre-seen covers two exam windows. So the pre-seen released ahead of the November exam also covers the following February's exam. And the pre-seen released for the May exam also applies to the following August's exam.
- Don't forget to register for your CIMA Case Study exam! Be very aware of the deadlines for registering for each CIMA exam window (see below). Students often forget this one.
1. CIMA Exam Dates 2022/2023
Below you can find a simple table with the exam dates for each window over the next 12 months or so. These are the dates when you can actually sit the exams. If you need to locate an official CIMA exam centre, you can find more information here.
Note that these date ranges are inclusive. So for example, it says "10-12 November", that means you can sit the exam on the 10th, on the 11th, or on the 12th.
Typically the dates fall on a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. But be sure to double-check, taking into account your local time-zone and how this might affect you.
2. Pre-seen Release Dates
Several weeks before each Case Study exam takes place, CIMA releases the pre-seen document to students. The pre-seen is the document that introduces you to the company and industry that is the focus of the case study. It includes lots of important information that you will be expected to use on the day of your exam to help write your answers.
Usually, you can find the pre-seen document available for download on CIMA's website on the official pre-seen release date (listed below). You can find the most recent pre-seen available for download here.
3. Exam Entry Closing Dates
As mentioned above, this is one that students often forget, or forget to check ahead of time! Be sure to register as early as you can.
Of course, it's important to bear in mind that you cannot register for your Case Study exam until you have officially passed all of the corresponding Objective Test exams at that level (this doesn't necessarily apply to all students, as some students may have been granted exemptions from certain Objective Test exams, e.g. Gateway students for the MCS).
If you are sitting all of the Objective Test exams for that level, you need to factor this into your planning. "Can I realistically have all my Objective Test exams passed by the closing date for the Case Study exam?". An important question to consider!
4. Dates when Exam Results are Released
Important to know the exam results dates, if only to ensure that you time set aside to distract yourself from the nerves/excitement/anticipation in the preceding hours!
Students often ask "but at what time does CIMA release the exam results!?" I'm afraid to say that this one is a bit unpredictable! Sometimes it's literally within seconds of the clock striking midnight (UK time) on the date in question. Other times, students need to wait until later in the morning or even early afternoon to get their results.
That's ultimately at CIMA's discretion, and unfortunately VIVA has no inside knowledge on that particular aspect of CIMA! (... although we're certain we have plenty of insight on others!).
You will typically find your CIMA exam results on your CIMA account, on the CIMA website. So make sure you have your log in credentials ready to go, and your finger hovering over the refresh button...
5. Exam booked? Where to start studying
Now this is going to sound biased, but... VIVA is the place to start! But we say it with good reason. VIVA is an award-winning tuition provider , a certified CIMA learning partner, and a pioneer in terms of delivering premium online learning at a fraction of the cost of traditional institutions.
But don't worry, we're not trying to just sell, sell, sell! You can start learning for your Case Study exam entirely for free , immediately.
We have 2 hours of free pre-seen analysis for every case study exam/window. You can find these free lectures on our YouTube channel here.
We also have tonnes of useful free exam guides and articles in our Knowledge Centre . For example, this extensive guide on how to write a Case Study exam answer here.
If you're impressed by this and want to really nail your exam, then you can explore our award-winning online courses here.
We hope you found this guide useful. If you have any questions, feel free to drop us a message in our chatbox to the bottom right of your screen (or email us at [email protected]).
A huge good luck from the entire VIVA team!

CIMA Case Study: May 2023
For those students whose first taste of a case study will be in May 2023, what can you expect and how should you prepare?
The pre-seen materials release date is an obvious starting point for preparations, but from personal experience I found that using the weeks BEFORE the pre-seen materials are released as the perfect time to develop a exam strategy and look at the bigger picture on what CIMA expects of a student looking to pass the case study exams first time.
Here are three pieces advice I would give students sitting a May case study exam
Understand your Role
Each CIMA case study exam requires a different approach and mindset, it’s important to understand what role you are playing and how to react to the questions.
Bear this in mind when your answering questions on exam day.
For example, in the SCS exam don’t get drawn into answering a question from the point of view of a Finance Clerk or Manager, you role is Finance Director so you will be required to answer in that mindset – developing strategy and thinking long-term!
Exam Day: Have a Plan
Time management on exam day is crucial and having a plan when answering a question will give you a enough time to produce a full and well balanced answer.
You should have a plan on exam day on how you will answer your question.
Assuming you have 45 minutes for each question in the OCS and MCS (4 questions at 45 mins = 3 hours), I used the below as guideline for answer planning and time management.
- 10-15 mins: read the question, identify requirements and plan your answer with 3 to 5 bullet points.
- 25 minutes: add the detail and develop your answer (think about pre-seen materials, industry analysis and ethics)
- 5-10 minutes: review your answer and adjust where needed.
It’s a natural tendency to rush straight in and start writing out your answering as you see the question, but this can lead to rambling, not answering the requirement and forgetting to add relevant points from the industry analysis or pre-seen materials.
Answer the Requirement
The most common trap students fall into is not understanding the requirement of the question asked, but instead trotting out a pre-rehearsed answer based on the subject.
While it’s important to understand the theory you have studied in the CIMA objective tests, practicing rehearsed statements is not a good idea.
Don’t fall into this trap!
If you identify the requirements of the question and plan your answer around the requirements, you will avoid this trap and maximise your chances of passing the CIMA case study first time.
May 2023 CIMA Case Study Resources
Astranti was the training provider I used to pass my CIMA case studies first time and they’ve recently put together an informative guide on how to crack the case studies !
It’s well worth a read before the pre-seen materials are released later this month.
In terms of the resources, the Astranti course for the May CIMA Case Studies is packed full of resources and tutor support and they have an early sale on their full courses.
- Pre seen materials pack (analysis, top 10 issues, industry examples & 30 questions)
- 5 x mock exams with feedback
- Syllabus theory revision series
- Exam technique series
- Ethics and questions packs
- Tutor feedback
- Pass guarantee & money back guarantee

CIMA exams list 2023: your comprehensive guide
Stay updated with the comprehensive list of CIMA exams for 2023. Explore now to plan your CIMA qualification journey.
This article provides the CIMA exams list for the main CIMA qualification. You will need to complete all the exams on the list if you want to become a CIMA qualified accountant. However, you may be eligible for exemptions based on your academic or professional qualifications.
Find out if you're eligible for CIMA exemptions.
This guide to the CIMA exams is updated regularly.
CIMA exams structure
The CIMA professional qualification consists of three levels.
Operational level
Management level, strategic level.
The Operational level covers the delivery of strategy and its performance for the short term. You'll then progress onto the Management level which involves a medium-term focus on articulating strategy, monitoring performance and taking corrective action when necessary. Finally, the Strategic level concentrates on long-term strategic decisions and the contexts in which those decisions are applied.
Within each level, you'll need to complete 3 Objective Test exams, followed by a Case Study exam. You can only attempt the Case Study exam once you've completed all three Objective Tests for that level.
The three pillars of CIMA
Each of the Objective Tests fall into one of three pillars across each level. These are the Enterprise pillar, Performance pillar, and Financial pillar.
The Enterprise pillar covers the preparation of a strategy and its effective implementation.
The Performance pillar explores techniques of management accounting and develops risk management skills to ensure that any strategy in place is realistic, while monitoring its delivery.
The Financial pillar looks at financial accounting and reporting obligations. The fundamentals of business tax and financial strategy are also covered.
How many CIMA exams are there?
There are 12 CIMA exams in total, consisting of nine Objective Tests and three Case Study exams.
The Objective Tests are available on-demand and last for 90 minutes each, while the Case Study exams last for three hours and can be taken during four exam windows throughout the year.
These windows take place in February, May, August, and November .
Objective Tests and Case Study assessments are computer-based exams which you can complete at one of 5,000 test centres worldwide.
What is the CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting?
The CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting is an entry route to qualifying through CIMA if you have no accounting experience.
The CIMA Certificate levels are:
BA1 Fundamentals of Business Economics
BA2 Fundamentals of Management Accounting
BA3 Fundamentals of Financial Accounting
BA4 Fundamentals of Ethics, Corporate Governance
The CIMA Certificate takes roughly 12 to 18 months to complete, after which you can move onto the Operational level of the CIMA professional qualification.

How about the case study exams?
Bearing in mind the pre-seen material is released around 7 weeks before the exams, we’d recommend:
- Between 6 to 8 weeks for your preparations
- 10+ hours per week
As with any exam preparation, more time is better . So don’t limit yourself to these times if you have more available!
So… what’s the big lesson here?
Rushing exam prep is one of the biggest reasons for exam failures , and as a result, taking longer to get CIMA qualified!
Therefore, it’s vital that you think about giving yourself enough time for your exam prep when selecting your CIMA exam dates. If you do that, then you should be set on your way to getting that pass!
Okay, I’m ready to go! How do I book my exam?
Now that you’re all clued up on the CIMA exam dates, when’s best to book your exam, what type of exam to book and how long to allow for your studies, you’re ready to get it booked in !
Luckily, the team at CIMA have made the booking process super easy, so you shouldn’t have any problems there.
Simply head over to the CIMA booking website and follow the steps to schedule your exam.
You must complete both practice exams and one of the mock exams and send them to your allocated marker by the deadlines set out in the course schedule.
You must not copy the mock exam solutions. If you do so this will invalidate your pass guarantee.
You must achieve an average mark of at least 30% in your submitted practice and mock exams. This is to ensure you are putting in enough effort.
You must attend or watch the recorded versions of the masterclasses and make notes on the pass guarantee form.
Use the pass guarantee form to document your key learning points throughout your studies, submit within 1 week of the final exam.
You must confirm that you have read and understood the pass guarantee terms.
