CMA Foundation Maths & Stats: How to Score 80+ Marks

Why Math & Stats is a SCORING Paper

Unlike theory subjects, Math & Stats:

• Has objective MCQs

• Gives full marks for correct answers

• Does not depend on presentation or language

• Rewards speed and accuracy

👉 With the right approach, 80+ marks is achievable even for average students.

🔍 ABC ANALYSIS: CHAPTER-WISE PRIORITIZATION

🟢 Category A – High Weightage + Easy (Must-Do Chapters)

(Quick marks with practice)

1. Ratio & Proportion

2. Time Value of Money (TVM)

3. Linear Equations

4. Measures of Central Tendency

5. Probability (Basics)

📌 These 5 chapters alone can contribute 40–50+ marks if prepared well.

🟡 Category B – Medium Difficulty + Moderate Weightage

6. Permutation & Combination

7. Correlation & Regression

8. Index Numbers

📌 Do these after Category A. Focus on formulas + MCQs.

🔴 Category C – Lengthy or Conceptually Tough

9. Set Theory

10. Matrices & Determinants

📌 Attempt selectively. Do not over-invest time unless basics are strong.🧮 CALCULATOR TRICKS EVERY CMA STUDENT MUST KNOW

🔢 Time Value of Money (TVM)

• Use calculator power functions instead of long calculations

• Practice compound interest calculations directly

• Memorize standard interest factors for quick estimation

📌 Tip: Avoid writing rough work—accuracy matters more than steps.

🔢 Linear Equations

• Use direct substitution instead of lengthy solving

• Cross-multiply smartly

• Practice solving within 30–40 seconds per question

🔢 Statistics Calculations

• Calculate mean using assumed mean method

• Avoid recalculating sums repeatedly

• Use memory functions wisely

👉 Speed with accuracy = extra time for revision.

❓ WHY STUDENTS STRUGGLE: LACK OF MCQ PRACTICE

One of the biggest challenges students face is:

“I understand concepts, but I don’t get enough MCQs to practice.”

📌 Solution:

• Practice topic-wise MCQs

• Solve previous year questions

• Attempt mock tests regularly

• Time yourself strictly

⚠️ Math & Stats is NOT about theory reading—it’s about repeated problem solving.

📚 HOW MANY MCQs SHOULD YOU PRACTICE?

• Minimum 30–40 MCQs per chapter

• 3–4 full-length mock tests

• Reattempt wrong questions after 1 week

👉 Repetition builds confidence and speed.

🧠 SMART PREPARATION TIPS

✔ Practice daily (even 30 minutes helps)
✔ Maintain a formula sheet
✔ Revise formulas every week
✔ Focus on accuracy over speed initially

🚀 FINAL ADVICE FOR 80+ MARKS

• Don’t try to do everything—do the right chapters well

• Master calculator usage

• Practice MCQs consistently

• Avoid panic—Math & Stats rewards calm thinking
