CIMA Operational Case Study
Pre-seen analysis pack
The pre-seen is at the core of every case study. To pass you MUST fully understand the company and its industry .
Why? Because the examiner expects you to apply EVERYTHING to the pre-seen scenario. It’s not about knowing the theory anymore (you’ve proved you can do that in the OT exams) it’s about showing how that theory relates to the pre-seen company.
And yet…
Almost every post-exam report the examiner notes that people are doing poorly because they are not applying answers to the pre-seen.
So how can we help? Our case study experts are here to support you with a range of pre-seen materials designed to make this part of your revision as easy as possible!
The pre-seen materials:
- Let you see the pre-seen through the eyes of our OCS expert , picking out all of the key information
- Apply key theory and models to the pre-seen
- Investigate the top 10 most likely issues to appear in your exam
- Give a detailed analysis of the pre-seen industry , helping you to build more rounded answers in your exam
- Test how well you have understood the pre-seen with a set of knowledge-based questions
“I have used Astranti for OCS pre-seen (their notes are a great guide and the analysis helps you familiarize with pre-seen in depth) and then went on to buy full package for both MCS and SCS and managed to get first time passes on both exams. Their material is great and the marked Mocks especially help you get ready for exam writing (for which theory knowledge is not enough). Would highly recommend it to everyone!”
CIMA Qualified , January 2023
CIMA has released the MCS pre-seen material for the May and August 2024 sittings. To get your copy of the pre-seen, check out my Home page . The pre-seen company is Flatthall, a quoted company that operates several residential buildings rented out as purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) in a fictitious country called Towland.
NOW is an excellent time to kickstart your CIMA case study preparation. If you need a refresher on the theories covered on the management level, we’ve got the theory series here for you.
My podcast episode featured a few tidbits from the MCS pre-seen material for May and August 2024 sittings. Subscribe and listen to the episode from the links below:
Various analyses will aid you in understanding and decoding pre-seen jargons:
- Pre-seen analysis – An in-depth analysis of the pre-seen material. We look at our pre-seen company in detail. We learn about the company background, structure and financial standing.
- Strategic analysis – Hot on the heels of a pre-seen analysis is to do a strategic analysis to help us with perspective. We need to know where the company has been, where it is now and where it is headed.
- Most likely issues – Based on what has been mentioned (and sometimes, not mentioned) on the pre-seen material, we can gather clues to risks, issues, and events that may affect our fictitious company.
- Industry analysis – This puts our pre-seen company in the context of the real world. We look at some real-life examples of companies in the same industry. We highlight problems and circumstances that have made the news, and find out how these companies have dealt with them.
The above analyses are delivered in both written and video formats. If you are unsure about the resources available, check out the Astranti MCS course page .
Good luck, student!

Look at the post exam kits on CIMA at the examiners reports. There are also the past questions and answers so you can see the type of information they are expecting from an answer. The HTFT revision kit is on point , covers a lot of exam style problems. Would suggest you to do it once your concepts are crystal clear.
