Trusted by students around the world!

TCS were instrumental in my OCS exam. Nick was fantastic, his level of detail and knowledge were priceless, the study plan & materials were great. I scored 119 & I passed on credit to Nick.

I had 3 weeks to prepare & was planning to postpone. TCS motivated me & I scored 105, and it really is thanks to the Premium Pack. Also, I must mention that I had been on a 5-year break from CIMA so I pretty much didn't have a leg to stand on.

I sat for OCS (FLP route) & passed first time scoring 112! Thanks Nick for the mocks & the study plan. You rock!

Managed to score 117 in Nov ‘23 OCS. Thank you, guys. Your mocks and exam tips were really helpful.

Nick is a great tutor with proven teachings and processes. Nick helped me score 98 marks on my 3rd attempt at my OCS exam. I would highly recommend TCS as this is a clear and simple strategy with proven results. 10/10

I had a week plus to do the OCS mock exams and it being my 1st attempt, I was not really sure of how to go about it. The study material from TCS & the support from the team helped me streamline my focus & study plan. I passed with a score of 88.

For someone that has already gone through OTQs, TCS's webinars and mocks are a great boost to your chances of passing the case study exams. I only used the resources they provided and got 91 first time.

FAQs

We leave no question unanswered

The CIMA Operational Case Study (OCS) is the first case study exam in the CIMA/CGMA Professional Qualification. It tests operational-level thinking skills and your ability to produce practical, well-structured revaluations using the pre-seen context and unseen tasks.

Our CIMA OCS course includes pre-seen-focused guidance, 6 exam-standard mock exams, suggested answers, and answer plans. The answer plans teach the key operational-level concepts tested and show 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 OCS mock exam under timed exam conditions to practice answer structure, time management, and stress management.
Step 2: Read through the answer plans for that mock to learn the key P1/E1/F1 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 OCS exam.

Yes. Our CIMA OCS mock exams are designed to mirror real exam demands. That's why you get 6 exam-standard mocks covering 72 sub-tasks (questions) in total. These sub-tasks are structured to cover the full range of key OCS syllabus areas, irradicating the risk of knowledge gaps and helping you walk into exam day fully prepared.

Yes. CIMA OCS success depends heavily on how well you understand the pre-seen organisation, how departments operate, issues, and financial situation. Our OCS 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 Preseen document, and all 6 of our OCS mock exams are 100% pre-seen specific.

Most resit candidates improve fastest by tightening exam technique: answer the requirement directly, and strengthen your evaluation.

To improve your chances of passing, follow our 3-step approach: (1) attempt each mock under real-exam conditions, (2) read through answer plans 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 P1/E1/F1 concepts, and to practise this repeatedly through timed mock tasks. The main resources designed to teach you P1, E1, and F1 are the answer plans aligned to each mock exam, which depict 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.

For both CIMA OCS courses (Essential and Premium), access is provided for the duration of the relevant exam window. For example, if you purchase the May/Aug OCS course, you will have access until the August OCS exams are completed.

That's a fair question. With CIMA OCS, 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 72 questions (sub-tasks), structured to cover the full range of key OCS 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.

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 access to all 6 mocks, answer plans, 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.

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.
