The December 2025 CMA Intermediate Group 2 test looms - a source of worry for some. Those doing well aren’t simply putting in more hours, but rather maximizing the time they dedicate to learning.
Hold off on learning anything fresh. Revisit familiar material - a smart way to prepare yourself. iProledge instructors devised a sure-fire plan to help you nail Group 2 on your initial try CMA Intermediate Last-Minute Revision Strategy.
Group 2 Overview
The CMA Intermediate Group 2 syllabus covers a mix of analytical, practical, and strategic papers that test your application skills. Let’s quickly recall what’s inside:
Paper 9: Operations Management & Strategic Management
Paper 10: Corporate Accounting & Auditing
Paper 11: Financial Management & Business Data Analytics
Paper 12: Management Accounting
These papers demand a balance of theory understanding and numerical mastery. Your goal during revision should be to maximize scoring potential while keeping stress levels low.
1. Create a 15-Day Smart Revision Plan
In the last few weeks, avoid random studying — follow a target-based plan. Divide your remaining days strategically:
Day Range | Focus Area | Description |
Days 1–5 | Paper 9 & Paper 10 | Cover Operations, Strategy, Corporate Accounting, and Auditing fundamentals. |
Days 6–10 | Paper 11 | Revise FM formulas, ratios, and analytics techniques with mock questions. |
Days 11–14 | Paper 12 | Focus on Decision Making, Budgeting, and Cost Control case studies. |
Day 15 | Full Mock Revision | Attempt one mock paper covering all four subjects under timed conditions. |
Stick to this timeline — even if you can’t revise every page, you’ll reinforce every concept that matters most for the exam.
2. Focus on High-Weightage Topics
Understanding marks distribution helps you prioritize better. Below are key scoring areas for each Group 2 paper (based on ICMAI’s weightage pattern):
Paper 9: Operations & Strategic Management
Production Planning & Control – 20%
Total Quality Management & Productivity – 15%
Strategic Analysis & Implementation – 25%
SWOT & Corporate Strategy – 20%
Paper 10: Corporate Accounting & Auditing
Amalgamation, Absorption, and Consolidation – 25%

Capital Budgeting & Risk Analysis – 20%
Cost of Capital & Leverage – 15%
Working Capital Management – 20%
Business Data Analytics Tools – 25%
Paper 12: Management Accounting
Budgetary Control – 20%
Standard Costing – 25%
Marginal Costing & Decision Making – 30%
Performance Measurement – 15%
Focus on these areas first — they account for 70–75% of your total marks!
3. Apply the “2-3-1” Revision Technique
This iProledge-tested method helps you balance theory and practical subjects effectively.
2 hours – Revise theory (laws, definitions, strategic models)
3 hours – Practice numerical questions (FM, Accounting, Costing)
1 hour – Quick recap or MCQ drill
Repeat this schedule twice a day — morning and evening sessions. You’ll cover all subjects daily and retain information faster.
4. Don’t Skip MCQs & Case Scenarios
Since CMA Intermediate exams now include 60% Objective and 40% Descriptive questions, MCQ mastery is essential.
Attempt at least 100–150 MCQs daily from iProledge’s practice bank.
Revise case-based questions for Strategic Management and Decision-Making.
For descriptive sections, write one full question daily — neat presentation matters!
Remember, even a 5-mark improvement in each paper can decide your group clearance!
5. Mock Tests Are Non-Negotiable
Mocks are your final dress rehearsal before the main show.
Attempt minimum 3 full-length mock tests for Group 2.
Write them at 2 PM – 5 PM (actual exam time).
Review every paper carefully to spot weak topics.
Don’t just score — analyze mistakes and reattempt wrong answers.
At iProledge, our Weekly Mock Tests simulate real exam conditions and include individual feedback sessions — helping you sharpen speed and accuracy.
6. The Night Before the Exam
Keep this checklist ready:
✔️ Revise formula sheets and one-page summaries.
✔️ Sleep at least 7 hours — a tired brain forgets fast.
✔️ Pack admit card, stationery, and ID proof in advance.
✔️ Avoid discussing the syllabus with peers — stay focused.
✔️ Practice 10 minutes of deep breathing to calm nerves.
Remember, the night before the exam isn’t for learning — it’s for confidence building.
7. Exam Day Time Strategy
Here’s a time-tested formula from our toppers:
First 10 mins: Read the entire question paper carefully.
Next 120 mins: Attempt all easy and medium questions first.
Last 30 mins: Revisit tougher ones and check for mistakes.
Always show full working notes.
Use headings and highlight key terms.
If unsure, attempt every question — no negative marking!
8. Bonus Tip: Stay Mentally Strong
Exams test your attitude as much as your aptitude. Stay calm, eat healthy, hydrate, and keep your focus on progress, not perfection. Remember — the ICMAI exam rewards consistency, not cramming.
iProledge mentors often say:
“Don’t chase the syllabus — chase understanding.”
Even if you master 80% of topics deeply, you can score well beyond 60% in every paper.
