Hi,
I’m self studying for the E3 after passing the Management Gateway exam. Can someone guide me as to how E3 is examined? How many MCQs are there in total and what are the total marks? What is the pass mark ?August 7, 2016 at 10:46 pm #33188590 minutes, 60 OT questions, 70% pass mark.
After all three OT exams have been passed at a level, there is an integrated case study for that level.
August 16, 2016 at 8:54 am #333462Thank you so much for replying. Just one more question. What are the total marks? Out of how mnay do we need to score 70%? Is every MCQ worth around 2 marks?
August 16, 2016 at 4:09 pm #333624You need to score 70/100 or 42 right out of 60 questions or 84 marks out of 120 available if there are 2 marks per question.
The marks per question are irrelevant.

Please advise some exams techniques for quickly pick up the question, as what actual examiner is asking.
November 30, 2016 at 1:26 pm #352575Are you asking about the objective test questions of the case study?

December 13, 2016 at 7:25 pm #363617By far the best is to look at the CIMA past case studies.
Two pieces of advice:
1 When you get the pre-seen material, do not attempt to guess what might come up. The unseen material will usually ask you something quite unexpected. Concentrate on becoming familiar with what is in the pre-seen as your answers will have to refer to that.
2 Always tie back you answers to the organisation that is features. You pay the part of an employee so will always e answering with reference to you organisation – even for questions that seem to be very theoretical.
