    Hiya, What areas or sections are you least comfortable with?

    Have used any of CIMA aptitude exam test practice?

    The content is quite broad and lots of reading, What helped me was picturing a large organisation and then imaging each department and function, and then listing what each department entails and duties are.

    You also have variety of company types and size along with complexity, try building the diffrent structures with dimensions, but also remembering what each section (HR, Finance, IT) entails.

    This helps bring it back

    You need to be thorough in your knowledge and understanding of each chapter I failed twice for passing when I was revising for the third sitting I made sure my notes were detailed and had full understanding by creating scenarios.

    Buy the Kaplan Question book that also helped!

    Good Luck!

    Hi sorry to hear that.

    My advice is to break down each topic and attempt all questions to fully understand. Once you are comfortable with all areas in E1.

    Perhaps you should purchase the CIMA Aptitude 1 &2, this really helped me helped me pass my exam.

    Once you start getting 70% on mock exams, you ideally will be ready to sit the exam and pass.

    Best of luck.

    Hi Rashida,
    may I ask you to help with understanding what is the CIMA Aptitude 1 &2??
    I use Kaplan to prepare for E1 but not sure I heard about the CIMA Aptitude 1 &2…
    Please, could you clarify where would I get it?

    Also perhaps move to Kaplan study text which is less wordy then bloated BPP texts
