Q: When should I actually schedule my exam appointment?
A: It is highly recommended to register and schedule your exam at least 6 weeks before your desired test date. This ensures you receive your authorization number from IMA and can secure your preferred date and time at a Prometric testing center before availability becomes limited.
Q: How do I schedule my exam after registering?
A: After you register with the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) and pay for an exam part, you will receive an authorization number. You then use this number to book your specific date and time directly with Prometric, the testing partner. Exams can be taken at a Prometric test center or online via remote proctoring.
Q: What if I need to reschedule my exam date?
A: You can reschedule your exam within the same testing window for a fee. If you reschedule 3 to 30 days before your appointment, the fee is $50. Rescheduling or cancelling less than 3 days in advance will result in the forfeiture of your full exam fee.
Q: What happens if I don't pass an exam part?
A: If you do not pass, you must wait for the next testing window to retake that specific part of the exam.
Q: Where can I find more information on preparing for the exam?
