Entrance Exam

Exam Prep Courses

CMA British Columbia offers an in-class Prep Course Series through Langara College to supplement individual exam preparation. Enrollment for the Prep Course Series can be completed upon registration for the Entrance Exam. A distance version of the Prep Course Series is also available. The in-class Prep Course Series consists of two distinct components:

Entrance Exam Review Series Prep Course

The in-class Review Series Prep Course is run through Langara College to provide an intense 5-day review of the material tested on the Entrance Examination.

Please note that the Entrance Exam Review Series offers a review of the main topics tested on the Entrance Exam: Financial Accounting, Management Accounting, Corporate Finance and Taxation. The course is structured to help writers focus their Entrance Exam studies and will not offer lectures on each topic.

The Review Series schedule for the June 2010 Entrance Exam is as follows:

  • Saturday April 17 – 9:00 am to 4:00 pm
  • Saturday April 24 – 9:00 am to 4:00 pm
  • Saturday May 1 – 9:00 am to 4:00 pm
  • Saturday May 8 – 9:00 am to 4:00 pm
  • Saturday May 15 – 9:00 am to 4:00 pm

The Review Series schedule for the October 2010 Entrance Exam is as follows:

  • Saturday Aug 14 – 9:00 am to 4:00 pm
  • Saturday Aug 21 – 9:00 am to 4:00 pm
  • Saturday Aug 28 – 9:00 am to 4:00 pm
  • Saturday Sept 4 – No Class
  • Saturday Sept 11 – 9:00 am to 4:00 pm
  • Saturday Sept 18 – 9:00 am to 4:00 pm

All first-time writers qualifying through the course-by-course option are automatically enrolled in the Review Series Prep Course.

Entrance Exam Simulation Series Prep Course

The in-class Simulation Series is also run through Langara College, and will imitate the exam-writing experience through two practice examinations. After each practice exam, there will be an instructor-led review of the exams. This course will show you what to expect on exam day and will better prepare you for the pressures that occur during the Entrance Exam.

The Simulation Series schedule is as follows for the June 2010 Exam:

  • Saturday May 29 – 9:00 am to 5:00 pm
  • Saturday June 5 – 9:00 am to 5:00 pm

The Simulation Series schedule is as follows for the October 2010 Exam:

  • Saturday Sept 25 – 9:00 am to 5:00 pm
  • Saturday Oct 2 – 9:00 am to 5:00 pm

  • All first-time writers are automatically enrolled in the Simulation Series Prep Course.

*A distance education version of both the Review Series & the Simulation Series is available to students who live more than 90 kms from Vancouver or who are otherwise unable to attend the in-class sessions. The online distance schedule for the June and October Entrance Exams is TBA.

Exam Preparation Materials

The following materials are available to supplement individual preparation for the exam:

Practice exams are an excellent study resource to practice answering questions within the 4 hour time limit; however it is important to note that these are only sample exams and will not necessarily fully represent what may be encountered on the Entrance Exam. Also, as the exam syllabus has changed recently, old sample exams will not necessarily contain all of the same material expected to be covered for the 2010 exams.
