Hello,
CFA have following benefits:

The CMA, for more than 40 years, the CMA (Certified Management Accountant) certification has been the global benchmark for management accountants and financial professionals. Why? Because CMAs can explain the "why" behind numbers, not just the "what." And that can give you greater credibility, higher earning potential, and ultimately a seat at the leadership table.
In comparison, they are actually qualifications for very different career paths. CMA, which stands for Certified Management Accountants, are designed for accountants working outside of CPA firms. This essentially means 3/4 of all accountants working in various industry and corporate functions. The CMA is most applicable for those who deal with cost and inventory accounting.
CFA, which stands for Chartered Financial Analyst, is a designation for finance and investment professionals those working in equity research, asset management, hedge funds and other types of investment management.
As you can see, these careers don't have much overlap. If you are working (or aspire to work) in either profession, you should be clear which qualification you should be aiming for.

Reasoning section, the candidates can practice similar tests to be precise and accurate. Since for this section, there is no precise formula, the candidates can solve as many mock tests as possible. Simple preparation for this section can be done by solving puzzles and riddles.

Thus, students are better prepared for the examination.

To qualify for the exam, accountants must possess a Bachelor's degree and have been working for a minimum of two years in management accounting. Most universities with accounting degree programs offer CMA exam preparation courses.
The CMA exam is a 2-part exam. The first part covers financial accounting; planning, budgeting, and forecasting; performance management, cost management; and internal controls. The second part covers financial statement analysis, corporate finance, decision analysis and risk management, investment decisions and professional ethics. Its hard to quantify the difficulty of professional exams, but what we can do is to better prepare ourselves and aim to pass on our first try.
In general, you should commit to 90 or more hours of studying per exam. Depending on how long you can study per day, this can take anywhere from seven weeks to three months. But these are just general estimates. Some people might need to study for longer over a several-month period.

Average students can manage to complete ACCA by following the correct approach.
The primary reason I: Say this is based on the method of studying for this exam. Your effort will be in applying what you learn to the questions. Whereas, many students judge themselves as being average or above average in terms of how well they can remember the concepts in the textbook and pour it into the answer paper during their school and college exams.
Eligibility: For ACCA, you must have 10+2 certificates with at least 5 subjects and the main subjects which include English and Mathematics/Accounts, 65% in at least 2 subjects and over 50% in the others. Once you have these documents, you need to apply for ACCA registration. Even after class 12th with a Bachelor's degree in commerce/finance from a recognized university or an equivalent degree with a minimum of 50% in graduation you can apply for ACCA.
The minimum age limit is 21 years.
There is some exemption possible in ACCA. So, those students who have already studied some paper and have relevant qualifications can apply for exemptions. A student can get the exemption from nine papers of the fundamental level (it includes ACCA Knowledge level and ACCA skill level) considering earlier qualification. You cannot exempt from ACCA Professional level papers.
Once you know the ACCA eligibility and exemptions you can go for the ACCA registration.

How to crack ATMA- Tips and Tricks
Set your plan right. Work on your plan and identify your weakness and strength. Set your plan agile and keep buffer time for revision and solving mock test papers.
Be focused and calm. For the last month keep all the formulas and tricks handy and revise on a daily basis.

Management Aptitude Test is the all India level entrance examination for admission to the MBA programme. This exam will be conducted in both offline and online mode. Build your schedule/time table in such a way that every subject will get equal attention. It is compulsory to focus all the subjects as the marks weightage allotted to every section is equal. Self-study is very important during the arriving days of the examination. Try to reserve most of your precious time for self-study. It helps you to score good marks. It is suggested to the candidates to practice mock papers or solve previous exam papers as many as possible in a short duration of time. This will increase your speed as well as improve your skills. Due to lengthy syllabus, students will not get the time for revision resulting in forgetting and omitting of important topics. Revision is very necessary so try to complete your syllabus before 2 or 3 days of the examination.
All the best.

I am assuming that the candidate has cleared both the groups of IPCC and if so, then I want to let you know something.
If you start class from the very first day after clearance of IPCC then you should take a properly written programme for your all classes and ensure that at a time you are doing only one subject's class. People have different opinions so don't be confused.
Now, second is that most of us do not allow to take classes from 1st year from our office forces, therefore, it is advised to start classes in the second year even though you have cleared both groups, so in such a phase you should develop a strategy in such a manner that you will be able to complete your all subjects before five to six months of your attempt.
Well wishes!

Hi,
This is how percentile is calculated:
The kth percentile is a value in a data set that splits the data into two pieces: The lower piece contains k percent of the data, and the upper piece contains the rest of the data (which amounts to [100 k] percent, because the total amount of data is 100%). Note: k is any number between 0 and 100.
To calculate the kth percentile (where k is any number between zero and one hundred), do the following steps:
A- Order all the values in the data set from smallest to largest.
B- Multiply k percent by the total number of values, n.
This number is called the index.
C- If the index obtained in Step 2 is not a whole number, round it up to the nearest whole number and go to Step 4a. If the index obtained in Step 2 is a whole number, go to Step 4b.
D- Count the values in your data set from left to right (from the smallest to the largest value) until you reach the number indicated by Step 3.
The corresponding value in your data set is the kth percentile.
E- Count the values in your data set from left to right until you reach the number indicated by Step 2.
The kth percentile is the average of that corresponding value in your data set and the value that directly follows it.
