- The pre-seen is released about 7 weeks before the exam window. It describes the company, its industry, its people and its recent results.
- In the exam, new information (the unseen) arrives in sections. Each section gives you a trigger and one or more tasks, usually as an email or report you write in your role.
- Tasks draw on all three subjects at your level and on the pre-seen. Results are scaled to a score out of 150; 80 is a pass.
Always confirm the exam format and dates with CIMA.
