Can I sit a timed CIMA mock exam?
Yes. Every paper has an Exam Sim mode — a timed mock exam matching the real objective test's question count and time limit, with feedback at the end. There is also a Custom mode where you set your own question count and timer, and a Practice mode with instant feedback after each question.
Are there CIMA formula sheets?
Not yet, but they're on the way. Our free formula sheets currently cover the calculation-heavy ACCA papers — CIMA revision sheets are in development and will appear on the Resources page once ready.
