With a lot of people doing the MCS this week(Good luck!), I thought this would be a good time to ask:

Is Management level really that insane compared to operational?

Let me explain. I started operational level in April and just finished it with grades all above 125/150. It was hard work but still doable. I remember people saying P1 was one of the hardest exams of CIMA.

Now I am planning for management level and I was shocked to see people saying that Operational level is child’s play and that F2 and P2 are a LOT more complicated.

Questions/summary:

if I found operational level easy ish, will I be fine with management level?
I gave myself one month per exam, will I need more now?
I like to finish with E exams, so should I start with F2 or P2?

Thank you!!

EDIT: thanks everyone!! I think I will start with F2 in October, P2 start of December and then E2 last to enjoy the christmas break :)

Hello,

I recently passed E1 and will have a few weeks now to prepare for OCS

I have passed P1, F1 and E1 in the last 2 months studying at home with Kaplan study texts and exam kits.

My question is: should I just buy the kaplan OCS book? My doubts are because I see there are no past papers in it. I am self-funding so I don’t want to just waste money
