"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream" - Anonymous
This quote inspired me so much to take up a journey of CMA that finally ended with an early morning official email from IMA congratulating me for having cleared Part 2. My life dream of becoming and having a crown of a global Management Accounting Certification thus realised. What a feeling and sense of fulfilment and thus I must say I am reborn to take up second innings of my career into corporate world again! Surely this CMA title will put an official stamp for my last 2 decades of financial management experience as non-certified manager.
Key advise here for any aspiring future CMA candidate: "Enjoy learning concepts with no distractions or negativity in mind..practice hard, test yourself, revisit, re learn". CMA apart from testing academic concepts, also is a test of your mental agility, grasping powers and recollection abilities at much crucial time of test, your confidence levels.
Overall, without any interest, if you push time and claim that even after hard studies, could not get thru.. this is not for such candidates. Self interest, enjoying what you study and learn are great ingredients for success to pass rigorous CMA test.
