Best CMA Review Courses & Study Materials For 2022

The Good

• Gleim Instruct Video Lectures - Over 40 Hours of video lectures to help you learn the CMA concepts you need to know for the CMA exam.

• Personal Counselor - There comes a time in every CMA candidates life that he/she won't understand a concept. This is why you need a personal counselor to bounce questions off of. Having a personal counselor assigned to you is an invaluable resource not offered by many other CMA review courses.

• Final Exam Review - The final days leading up to your exam are crucial to your success. Gleim CMA Review more than prepares you with their Exam Rehearsal mode which simulates the real Certified Managment Accountant exam.

• Access Until You Pass - Gleim stands behind it's product and will give you access to it's software until you pass the CMA exam.

The Bad

• Access - Internet is required to access your course

• No Flashcards - At this time Gleim CMA Review does not offer any flashcards to assist you in studying for the CMA Exam.

The Good

• Bite-Sized Lectures - Wiley CMAexcel (just like it's Wiley CPAexcel counterpart) utilizes bite-sized video lectures to help you quickly learn the material and most importantly keep you focused on studying instead of day dreaming.

• Instructor Mentoring - You will get access to online support from subject matter experts so that any questions you have about the content will be answered in a timely manner.

• Practice Exams - You will get access to 2,000+ CMA exam questions and essays and the Wiley CMAexcel practice exams so that you can be fully prepared for exam day.

• Flashcards - Wiley CMAexcel is one of the few CMA review course companies to offer CMA exam flashcards. I personally used flashcards to pass the CPA exam so I know they are very effective in helping you learn key concepts.

The Bad

• Pricing - Expect to spend as much as $1,795 (less discounts) for the complete Wiley CMAexcel course which is a bit more than Gleim CMA Review. The brightside is the Wiley CMAexcel gives you everything you need to pass the CMA exam and gives you access until you pass which gives you peace of mind.

Just be aware the textbook is more of a dictionary/reference resource and not a full textbook with explanations for concepts.
