CMA foundation exam tips
Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound (SMART) Technique:
Following the SMART methodology is one way to ensure that your plan is effective. The SMART method ensures that the chosen plan or objective is a high priority among all your goals. The SMART technique requires you to make your goals based on the following characteristics –
- Specific: Goals should be precise and to-the-point
- Measurable: Your progress towards your goal should be quantifiable. For example, my goal should not be to cover some syllabus of subject X but to cover 3 of its chapters. Following this technique, I could successfully evaluate if I completed the goal at the end of my deadline.
- Achievable: “I’ll complete the entire course today!” Of course, that sounds ridiculous! So make sure that your goals are attainable.
- Realistic: Like achievable, goals should be realistic and relevant to your preparation. Just because your friend completed subject X first doesn’t mean you should too. Evaluate which areas make more sense to focus on and make them your short-term goal.
- Timely: As stated in the first point, ensure that your schedule allows appropriate time for important tasks. But while you are at it, don’t be too relaxed either. Make a timeline that would push you to achieve your goals but, at the same time, won’t overwork you. The purpose is to create urgency.
