FAQs

We leave no question unanswered
The CIMA Strategic Case Study (SCS) is the final case study exam in the CIMA/CGMA Professional Qualification. It tests strategic decision-making and your ability to produce board-level recommendations using the pre-seen context and unseen tasks.
SCS requires more strategic depth and application than MCS. Strong SCS answers focus on long-term implications, risk and uncertainty, stakeholder impact, governance, financing logic, and implementation realism—while still writing directly to the requirement.
Our CIMA SCS course includes preseen-focused guidance, 7 exam-standard mock exams, suggested answers, and answer plans. Each mock also comes with 3 dedicated SCS masterclasses that explains the logic behind the solution, teaches the key strategic-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 SCS mock exam under timed exam conditions to practice answer structure, time management, and stress management.
  • Step 2: Watch the SCS masterclass for that mock to learn the key P3/E3/F3 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 SCS exam.
Yes. Our CIMA SCS mock exams are designed to mirror real exam demands. That's why you get 7 exam-standard mocks covering 63 sub-tasks in total. These sub-tasks are structured to cover the full range of key SCS syllabus areas, irradicating the risk of knowledge gaps and helping you walk into exam day fully prepared.
Yes. CIMA SCS success depends heavily on how well you understand the pre-seen organisation, objectives, constraints, and strategic issues. Our SCS 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 7 of our SCS mock exams are 100% pre-seen specific.
Yes, for the Premium Course. If you score 70–79 marks in the CIMA SCS 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 strategic judgements using the case facts, supported by the correct P3/E3/F3 concepts, and to practise this repeatedly through timed mock tasks. The main resources designed to teach you P3, E3, and F3 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 SCS courses (Essential and Premium), access is provided for the duration of the relevant exam window. For example, if you purchase the May/Aug SCS course, you will have access until the August SCS 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 SCS, cheaper isn't always better value because your pass depends on exam technique, application, and full syllabus coverage.

With us, you get:
  • 7 exam-standard mocks covering 63 questions (sub-tasks), structured to cover the full range of key SCS 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 (P3/E3/F3), 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.

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.
