FAQs

We leave no question unanswered
The CIMA Management Case Study (MCS) is the second case study exam in the CIMA/CGMA Professional Qualification. It tests management-level decision-making and your ability to produce commercially focused recommendations using the preseen context and unseen tasks.
MCS requires more management-level judgement and commercial application than OCS. Strong MCS answers focus on analysing the situation, prioritising issues, evaluating options, and making clear recommendations with justification—while writing directly to the requirement and applying the pre-seen context throughout.
Our CIMA MCS course includes preseen-focused guidance, 6 exam-standard mock exams, suggested answers, and answer plans. Each mock also comes with 4 dedicated MCS masterclasses that explains the logic behind the solution, teaches the key management-level concepts tested, and shows how to apply them to the case in a requirement-led, exam-ready format.
Yes. If you scroll up, you will find a structured weekly study plan that shows the correct order to use each resource. It follows our 3-step mock mastery approach:
  • Step 1: Attempt each CIMA MCS mock exam under timed exam conditions to practice answer structure, time management, and stress management.
  • Step 2: Watch the MCS masterclass for that mock to learn the key P2/E2/F2 concepts tested and how to apply them when developing answers.
  • Step 3: Revise by redeveloping the answer plan yourself to cement your understanding of each concept and how it should be applied in the CIMA MCS exam.
Yes. Our CIMA MCS mock exams are designed to mirror real exam demands. That's why you get 6 exam-standard mocks covering 55 sub-tasks (questions) in total. These sub-tasks are structured to cover the full range of key MCS syllabus areas, irradicating the risk of knowledge gaps and helping you walk into exam day fully prepared.
Yes. CIMA MCS success depends heavily on how well you understand the pre-seen organisation, objectives, constraints, and management issues. Our MCS resources help you turn the pre-seen into exam-ready points you can reuse across multiple tasks. You'll have access to Pre-seen Analysis videos and an Annotated Pre-seen document, and all 6 of our MCS mock exams are 100% pre-seen specific.
Yes, for the Premium Course. If you score 70–79 marks in the CIMA MCS exam, you will receive free enrolment for the next sitting.
Most resit candidates improve fastest by tightening exam technique: answer the requirement directly, strengthen your evaluation, and make clear, well-justified recommendations.

To improve your chances of passing, follow our 3-step approach: (1) attempt each mock under real-exam conditions, (2) watch the masterclasses to learn the theory and how to apply it, and (3) redevelop the answer plans yourself to refine your structure, judgement, and exam-ready writing style.
Yes, but your focus should be on applied understanding rather than reading or learning theory in isolation. Your goal is to make judgements and provide leadership using the case facts, supported by the correct P2/E2/F2 concepts, and to practise this repeatedly through timed mock tasks. The main resources designed to teach you P2, E2, and F2 are the masterclasses and the answer plans aligned to each mock exam, which explain the logic, theory, and exam-style application.
Yes. We provide suggested answers and answer plans for every mock exam. Suggested answers show a full, exam-standard response. Answer plans are the condensed version of each suggested answer, making it easy to see the structure, key points, and logic behind the response. They also make revision easier by helping you quickly rebuild high-scoring, requirement-led answers in the correct exam format.

In addition, the masterclasses explain the logic behind the suggested answer, teach the key theoretical concepts tested in that mock, and show you how to apply those concepts to the case scenario in an exam-ready, requirement-led way.
For both CIMA MCS courses (Essential and Premium), access is provided for the duration of the relevant exam window. For example, if you purchase the May/Aug MCS course, you will have access until the August MCS exams are completed.

However, if you purchase the Premium course for the August sitting and score 70–79 marks (i.e., a fail), you can claim the pass guarantee and receive free enrolment, including access to the updated resources for the next sitting (November).
That's a fair question. With CIMA MCS, cheaper isn't always better value because your pass depends on exam technique, application, and full syllabus coverage.

With us, you get:
  • 6 exam-standard mocks covering 55 questions (sub-tasks), structured to cover the full range of key MCS syllabus areas and reduce knowledge gaps. Some providers advertise "15–20 mocks", but often that's only 15–20 questions (sub-tasks) in total.
  • Suggested Answers + Answer Plans for every mock, so you can see the structure, logic, and revise faster.
  • Mock-aligned Masterclasses that teach both theory and application (P2/E2/F2), recorded fresh each case study window.

So yes, cheaper options exist—but if they're incomplete, recycled, or not application-focused, they can cost you more in time, stress, and a resit.

Our Essential Course suits those who has championed CIMA OTQ exams and are confident in self-learning. The Premium Course offers personalized feedback, mentorship, masterclasses and access to our Online Mock Exam Platform, perfect for those on exemption routes or seeking improvement.
You can download various study materials but, to safeguard our assets, video lectures, mock exam questions, and suggested answers are viewable via TCS' Student Dashboard.
Absolutely! Personalized feedback is available for mocks 3 and 5, marked by TCS' Lead Tutor, Jared. Track your scores, tutor feedback, and progress via the student dashboard. You can also opt for feedback on the other mocks for an additional fee of £50 per mock exam.
Yes! Our study resources, personalized study plans, and pass guarantee ensure you can comfortably pass in your first sitting. Need more info? Drop us an email at info@studyattcs.com or message us via the website's chat.
