Follow a clear, step-by-step study plan designed to guide you from understanding the pre-seen to full exam confidence- with targeted tasks, mocks and expert support at every stage
Follow a clear, step-by-step study plan that takes you from preseen insight to exam-day confidence. Each week builds on the last so you develop a strong grasp of the case company, the E2/P2/F2 themes, and the manager-level exam techniques that maximise marks. You’ll practise translating technical knowledge into strategic responses—analysing situations, making decisions, and justifying recommendations.
In the first two weeks, you’ll lay the foundation for your MCS preparation. This stage builds a strong grasp of the exam format, your role as a manager, and the business environment of the preseen company.
By the end of Week 2, you’ll have a clear understanding of the company, its context and likely exam issues—setting the stage for deeper E2/P2/F2 analysis in the coming weeks.
This week is all about advanced management accounting (P2) and how to apply it directly to the MCS pre-seen. You’ll focus on performance management, cost analysis, and strategic decision-making — all essential for writing strong, relevant answers at this level.
You’ll complete 5 scenario-based tasks related to P2 themes, helping you turn financial insight into well-structured recommendations.
You’ll be guided to attempt Mock 1 and submit it for marking (starting from Advanced package).
This week is focused on applying E2 (Managing Performance) concepts to your MCS case study. You’ll explore how project success, team dynamics, and stakeholder relationships affect performance — and how to reflect these insights in your written responses.
You’ll work on 5 written tasks focused on E2-related challenges, helping you practise clear, people-aware recommendations.
At the end of this week, you’ll receive Mock 2, which builds on the skills you’ve developed so far. You’ll be encouraged to complete and submit it for marking (marking available from Advanced package).
This week, you’ll focus on applying F2 concepts to analyse and interpret financial statements in a management-level context. You’ll develop your ability to evaluate financial performance, identify risks, and communicate implications clearly — all key to writing insightful MCS responses.
You’ll complete 5 written tasks linked to financial analysis and reporting. These will strengthen your ability to assess the company’s position and make well-supported recommendations.
At the end of this week, you’ll receive Mock 3, focused on integrating F2 knowledge into realistic exam-style scenarios. You’ll be encouraged to complete and submit it for professional feedback (marking starts from Advanced package).
This week is all about pulling everything together. By now, you’ll have a solid understanding of the pre-seen company and how P2, F2, and E2 concepts apply. The focus shifts to identifying the most likely topics, sharpening your writing technique, and simulating real exam conditions.
You’ll be encouraged to attempt additional mocks and focus on refining your technique. Submitting for professional marking (available from Advanced package) will help you identify final areas for improvement. The goal this week is timed, focused practice — building your confidence and readiness for exam day.
If you’re on the Ultimate package, this is a great time to book your final 1:1 tutor sessions to get feedback, clarify doubts, and optimise your approach before exam day.
This final week is about fine-tuning your approach, managing your mindset, and walking into the MCS exam with clarity and confidence. By now, you’ve worked through your structured study plan, reviewed the pre-seen in depth, and completed multiple mocks. Now it’s time to consolidate everything and get ready to perform at your best.
This week is designed to help you reinforce your strengths, manage any final doubts, and enter the exam room with a clear structure and confident tone — two things the examiner will be looking for.

I started the Ultimate Package a few weeks into my MCS prep, feeling completely lost. I wasn’t sure how to approach the pre-seen or structure my answers — I just kept second-guessing myself.
After I sent my first mock, I got feedback the next day. In the 1:1 session, the tutor didn’t just say what was wrong — she explained how to think like a manager. I finally understood how to use the theory properly and what the examiner really expects.
By the time I submitted my second mock, my writing had already improved. I stopped panicking about timings and started focusing on making clear, justified points.
On exam day, I was still nervous — but I felt ready. I knew how to tackle each task. Honestly, I’ve never felt that confident walking into a CIMA exam before. Whatever happens, I know I gave it my best — and this package played a big part in that.
Everything you need to know about our packages, tutor support, and how to get started with your CIMA Management Case Study preparation.
The Ultimate Package includes personalised 1:1 tutor support, 3 online lessons, 7 full mocks with feedback, a structured study plan, preseen analysis, and more. It’s designed to give you everything you need to succeed in the CIMA MCS exam.

Yes! You can start with a lower package and upgrade anytime to unlock additional features and support.

With the Ultimate Package, you’ll have weekly check-ins with our tutor, Neesha. She’ll review your progress, provide feedback, and guide you on how to improve. Also you can schedule up to 3 1:1 personal zoom lessons (30 mins each) with her, so she can explain you anything you need to know related to the theory, your case study, submitted and marked mock, your study plan.
Absolutely! Our tutors provide detailed, actionable feedback to help you understand what examiners expect and how to maximise your score.
Mock feedback is usually provided within 2 business days, depending on the number of submissions.
Yes! All paid packages include multiple mocks: Essential comes with 3, Advanced comes with 5, Master with 6 and the Ultimate Package comes with 7 full mocks. There is also marking included.
You’ll get instant access to core study materials as soon as you purchase. However, the timing of preseen-related content depends on your exam sitting.
CIMA releases each pre-seen around 7 weeks before the exam. We only create and release our pre-seen materials after that point — so if you’re preparing for a future sitting, you’ll get access to theory revision content straight away, and your pre-seen materials will be added when CIMA makes the pre-seen available.
In the case of second sittings (when CIMA reuses the same pre-seen), we release pre-seen materials shortly after the first exam window ends — to ensure fairness for all students across sittings.
Every one of our course packages comes with a Pass Assurance, as we are confident that our proven system will set you up for success.
If you don’t pass the CIMA MCS exam, we will work with you to help you prepare for your next attempt. Our Pass Assurance ensures that you can continue using the resources and support until you succeed – provided you meet the following conditions:
We’re here to support you every step of the way, and our team is committed to helping you achieve your goals.
Once you sign up with PTA as a paid customer, your journey is completely secure and risk-free with us. Our Pass Assurance ensures that if you complete 70% of your package and sit the exam but don’t pass, we’ll continue supporting you until you succeed.
In case our package doesn’t meet your expectations, you’re protected by our 7-day money-back guarantee. Simply contact our team, and they’ll process your refund immediately. It’s that simple.
With PTA, you’re in safe hands every step of the way.
