2026 exam update
Prepare for the New CMA Case-Based Question Format
IMA is transitioning the English CMA exam from essays to case-based questions. May/June 2026 is the final English window offering eligible candidates a choice between essays and cases; from September/October 2026, case-based questions become standard.
How cases work
Business scenarios and applied tasks
Each case presents a business situation followed by tasks that may include calculations, selections, fill-in responses and drag-and-drop activities.
Exam progression
MCQ performance still matters
Candidates must answer at least 50% of the multiple-choice section correctly to progress to the second section containing two case-based questions.
EduDelphi preparation
Cases built into practice
Classes, question practice and mocks develop interpretation, calculation, judgement and task execution for the updated exam experience.
Exam format information verified against IMA guidance in June 2026. The tested content, exam duration, credential and official pricing do not change solely because of this format transition.
