Welcome to the CIMA ExamReady™ Demo.

In this walkthrough, you’ll see how CIMA ExamReady™ helps students prepare with purpose — using exam-aligned practice questions, personalized dashboards, and full-length mock exams. You’ll also get a look at the instructor tools that provide real-time insights into student performance, making it easier to guide reteaching and improve outcomes. Get started below.

1

Students start with a "Readiness Check."

Many students struggle with knowing where to begin when preparing for their licensing exam. That’s why CIMA ExamReady™ starts with a diagnostic assessment designed to mirror the actual exam experience. As soon as the assessment is completed, it’s instantly graded—giving each student a personalized snapshot of their strengths and areas for improvement. This isn’t just a practice test — it’s the engine that powers everything else.
 
 
2

Students receive their own personalized Mastery Dashboard.

After completing the Readiness Check, students unlock the most powerful part of CIMA ExamReady™: the topic-level performance breakdown. This detailed report maps directly to the exam’s CIB topics and competencies, showing students exactly where they’re strong and where they need more focus. From day one, they get a personalized study path that helps them use their time efficiently. As they continue practicing, the Mastery Dashboard updates automatically—giving more weight to recent scores to reflect their current readiness.

Quizzes and mock exams help students practice smarter.

Students will get the most benefit by taking targeted quizzes focused on the topics, with repeated practice where they need the most support. When they’re ready, they can challenge themselves with another mock exam to measure their progress. With access to over 600 exam-style questions and timed mock exams, CIMA ExamReady™ helps students build confidence and master pacing—so they’re fully prepared to complete the full exam on test day and succeed. It’s practice that's designed to replicate the real exam experience.

Instructors get clear insights to identify learning gaps by topic.

Instructors get their own “Mastery View,” which shows where each student stands across topics and competencies. This insight helps identify classroom-wide trends—positive or negative—so instructors can adjust their teaching strategies to better support student success.
