Leave a paper blank if you did not write it. Carrying an exemption from an earlier exam? This calculator doesn't cover that: see the rules. Your marks stay on your phone; we don't save them.

How the CMA Final result works

You clear a group with at least 40 marks in each of its four papers and 200 out of 400 in the group. Writing Group III and Group IV together, 40 or more in all eight papers and 400 out of 800 clears both.

If you fail a group after writing all its papers, any paper with 60 or more is exempt for the next three terms (the exams are held in June and December). Next time you write the group's other papers: 40 or more in each and 50% of their own total. When every other paper of that group was 40 or more too, the 60+ marks are carried forward (actual marks); if they count in the total you may need less, so check with ICMAI. Writing an exempt paper again cancels the benefit.

There is no pass with distinction. Clearing both groups at one sitting, with no exemption, makes you eligible for a Certificate of Merit.

Example: Group IV at 70, 38, 55 and 48. Paper 18 is under 40, so the group is not cleared. Paper 17 is exempt with 70 (not carried forward, as Paper 18 is under 40); next time Papers 18, 19 and 20 need 40 or more each and 150 together.
