CMA PART 2 MOCK EXAM UPDATED 2026 (LIKE REAL)

CMA Part 1 vs. Part 2Assessing and comparing the difficulty of part 1 and part 2 of the CMA exam isn’t going to yield consistent results. This is because the difficulty will depend — as with any test — on your personal mastery of the subject matter. As a general rule of thumb, if you’re an accounting major, start with Part 1, but if you’re a finance major, start with Part 2.From an objective standpoint, the pass rates on each part are the same: part 1 has a 50% pass rate and part 2 has a 50% pass rate. This means some may find part 1 or 2 easier. With an equal pass rate, it is likely that the parts are similar in difficulty.Both parts have 100 multiple-choice questions and an essay portion. Each section also must be completed in the same amount of time.If your experience falls under the realm of accounting, you may find part 1 easier. If your specialty is in finance, you may prefer part 2.There is no definitive answer for which section will be easier.
