CIMA has released the November case study pass rates, and they show sitters coped well with what the examiner threw at them.
Those sitting the Management case achieved the highest pass rate, at 73%. That’s the best pass rate for this level for the whole of 2021.
Some 67% of Strategic sitters passed the final case this time around, which is slightly down on the August rate of 69%.
The Operational pass rate seems stuck, with just over half of sitters passing this time around – 52%
Stephen Flatman, Vice President, Examinations – Management Accounting, told PQ magazine:“I’m very happy to see that our students’ performance in case study exams remains strong. The efforts they are putting into their CIMA studies are clearly paying off.
“Over the past two years, our students have shown great dedication to taking their careers to the next level despite the ongoing uncertainty and disruption caused across the world by the coronavirus pandemic. After witnessing their efforts and accomplishments of the last two years, I firmly believe they have the traits employers seek, which enable CGMA designation holders to build successful careers in accounting, business and finance.
“We look forward to seeing what our students will achieve in 2022 and will continue to support them every step of their CIMA journey.”
