The MA exam, officially titled Management Accounting, is the CPA exam you pass to earn the Management Accounting (MA) – ACCA Applied Knowledge certification, a credential at the Associate level. Passing it confirms the skills defined in the official exam outline, and it is associated with related credentials such as ACCA Business and Technology (BT), ACCA Financial Accounting (FA), ACCA Applied Knowledge Level.

The MA exam includes Approximately 35 Objective Test Questions + 2–3 Multi-Task Questions questions and gives you 120 minutes to finish them. That is a tight pace per question, so get used to reading each stem once, flagging anything uncertain, and moving on rather than getting stuck. Running timed practice tests in the Fast2test desktop or online test engine is the most reliable way to build that rhythm before exam day.
