The E1 exam, officially titled Managing Finance in a Digital World, is the CIMA exam you pass to earn the CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting (Cert BA) certification, a credential at the Entry / Certificate level. Passing it confirms the skills defined in the official exam outline, and it is associated with related credentials such as CIMA Certificate in Business Accounting, CGMA Certificate in Business Accounting.

The E1 exam includes 60 questions and gives you 90 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.

The passing score for the E1 exam is 50%, and the official registration fee is Varies (~£100 GBP approx, region-dependent). Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying Varies (~£100 GBP approx, region-dependent) again in full to retake it, so book your slot only when your scores on Fast2test practice tests sit consistently above the passing line.
