Despite very difficult personal circumstances, with VIVA's help I managed to not only pass the SCS but to achieve my highest case study score from the 3 levels. Please keep doing what you do as it's so good!

I passed my OCS with a scaled score of 137 and got a letter from CIMA saying that I obtained the joint third position for the February 2019 case study and I believe that VIVA's materials really helped to make this possible.

VIVA were absolutely key in my CIMA Case Study exam - where I received first position in the world! I felt extremely supported with VIVA throughout the course, and would recommend them to anybody. I just wish I had found them much earlier in my studies!

I would highly recommend VIVA Financial Tuition to any CIMA student looking to achieve a high grade in their exams. Their courses offer remarkable value for money when compared to some of the traditional tuition providers. (World Prizewinner 2017)

I want to thank VIVA for bringing to a successful end my study journey. I only wish I knew about VIVA earlier! Since using VIVA, I have passed my final exams.

I have used VIVA for all three Case Studies, passing first time on all three. I could not have done it without VIVA's help! Hands down, the best resource out there for CIMA Case Studies.

Before I signed up with VIVA's Elite course I was already enrolled with another tuition provider, and the way VIVA runs this course is 100x better! I will highly recommend you to my coworkers who are early in their CIMA journey.

I have passed my SCS using VIVA. I had failed 3 times with other tuition providers. The difference for me was expert feedback on the mock exams.

The case study pass rate rose sharply in November’s Strategic case study to 71%, according to the latest stats. The SCS pass rate was just 58% last time around (August 2022), the lowest it had been since August 2020. The 71% pass rate was on a par with the February 2022 pass rate.

Success at the Management case study also jumped this time around, to 71%. Although that’s two percentage points above the August pass rate it is nowhere near the 83% achieved by May 2022 sitters.

The Operational pass rate also looks great compared to November 2021. Back then it was 52% and now it is holding steady at 66% – the joint top pass are for the paper in 2022.

MJ THE TUTOR

Cima exam support and preparation, cima exam pass rates – november 2023.

CIMA’s latest pass rates have just been released and are currently available on its website. 

Operational level remains in the same 60% range from August 2023 (69%) to November 2023 (68%). The rates continue to give the impression that OCS students are preparing and handling the case study exams well.

Management level surged again from 58% in August 2023 to 65% in November 2023. The pass rates for Gateway are no longer reported separately, which seems to suggest that the pass rates are now included in the MCS level.

Strategic level improved from dipping below 50% in August 2023, now standing at 59% in November 2023.

New pass rates have been released for the Objective Test (OT). The current pass rates covered the period Nov 2022 to Nov 2023.

Despite the good performance shown in the pass rates, students must not become complacent about studying. Good results do not mean that the exams are any easier. I’d like to think that it’s more about students focusing and dedicating more towards their studies, thereby earning good marks for their exams.

If you require assistance, visit the Resources page  for some helpful links to materials and preparation tips.
