The May 2023 CIMA case study exam pass rates are out, and it was a mixed bag of results.

The operational case study pass rate dipped 4 percentage points to 64% (when compared to February 2023). It hasn’t been this low since May 2022, when the pass rate was 62%.

The management case study pass rate also fell to 67% in May (it was 72% in February). We went back to February 2021 pass rates and this is the lowest it has been for over 10 exam sittings!

The good news was the Strategic case study, which saw the pass rate rise to 62%. The Strategic case study has the most volatile pass rates, which have been as high as 72% (February 2022) and as low as 56% (February 2023).

Stephen Flatman, Vice President, Examinations – Management Accounting, told PQ magazine: “I am delighted to extend my warmest congratulations to the candidates for their success in the May case study exams. They have demonstrated commitment to their professional development, dedication and hard work.

The business simulation exams are designed to be challenging. They test candidates on the application of business practice and a deep knowledge of all aspects of accounting and finance. That way, employers all around the world can be confident that prospective employees who have attained the prestigious Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA) designation will be a great asset to their organisations.”

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

cima case study pass mark 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.
