The CIMA August pass rates saw a big jump in both the management and strategic case studies.
In May the SCS pass rate had slumped to 53%, the worst result since February 2024 when the pass rate was just 50%. For the latest sitting the pass rate shot back up to 61%.
The Management Case Study also saw a healthy jump in the pass rate this time around, to 65%.
There was more good news too for Operational Case study sitters, as the pass rate stayed at 70%.
Stephen Flatman, Vice President – Examinations, Management Accounting, told PQ magazine: “Every case study window is a new opportunity for our students to achieve their goal of becoming Chartered Global Management Accountants. This is a strong set of results, and a direct reflection of our students’ passion and commitment to their chosen career path.
“These results also reinforce the relevance of the CGMA Professional Qualification in preparing students for the future of work, equipping them with the skills they need to be high-performing business partners. Our unique problem-solving educational approach helps them provide expert advice, support decision-making, and create value for organisations – capabilities that are highly sought after by employers. I look forward to seeing the continued impact they will make as they advance in their careers.”
