CMA Review Book – Not Your Average Textbook

It’s no secret that studying for the Certified Management Accountant exam can be gruelling, which means having the right tools is crucial.

Whether you choose an in-person or online study course, a CMA review book will be a critical part of your learning experience.

The truth is, not all CMA review books are designed the same, and while they may cover the same core topics, how the information is presented may not be suitable for learning. For non-native English speakers, the challenge is even greater.

Which brings me to the CMA Exam Academy review textbooks…

What is a CMA Review Book?

A review book is essentially a textbook containing all the Content Specification Outline (CSO) material that you are required to know and understand to pass the CMA exam.

These textbooks can be paperback or electronic and they break down the core topics into digestible chapters for easy consumption and comprehension.

What Makes CMA Exam Academy’s CMA Review Book Stand Out

As I mentioned above, not all textbooks are designed the same. What makes ours so unique is its in depth content that caters to both native and non-native English speaking CMA candidates.

You see, the IMA is made up of over 100,000 active members across 140 countries. Many of which are non-native English speaking countries. As the rate of CMA candidates climbs year after year, the CMA review material should reflect the growing need for tools and resources that cater to this ever-growing population.

Quick note – if you are reading and understanding this article, then your English is likely at a satisfactory level to commence your studies for the CMA exam. It mainly requires you to be able to read and comprehend written English as well as write in essay format.

If you are struggling a bit, that’s where my textbook comes in.

The CMA review book is designed to introduce candidates to advanced topics in plain English; i.e., easy to understand layman’s terms.

Here’s what students who are not native English speakers say about it:

Candidates prefer my study books to the competition’s because they are easy to understand. It’s that simple.
