CMA/CFM Part 1

Rating:
Summary: Efficiently written and well-organized.
Review: A very concise, well-written book. Extremely helpful with regards to actually writing the exam - very focused on passing the test, as opposed to learning for learning's sake. Also contains lots of useful information about exam and CMA qualification procedures. One word of caution: I have a background in economics, and I imagine someone without a similar background might find this book too advanced to start with, in that it is very abrupt - no time is really spent on explaining basic but tricky concepts. I appreciated this fact, but others might find it tough. But you'll definitely want to work through this book at some point before writing the exam.

Rating:
Summary: A must for the CMA exam.
Review: Book is very well organized and makes studying by topic easy to follow and to understand. The book is organized by 10-exam topic followed by related questions, very similar to those on the actual CMA exam; some of the questions are taken from CIA exam.

I think it is one of the few books that offer comprehensive material I found in the market on CMA exam. It is a must if you are serious on passing the exam. The Gleim CMA software is a highly recommended tool. Good Luck.

Summary: Bravo and well written!
Review: If you really wanto to pass the CMA exam with the least effort. You gotta read this book. It's well organized, clear, and useful. I can guarantee you if you go through it twice, it would be no pain at all to pass the exam. I wish I would have had read it twice so that I could pass it with a higher score.
