CIMA World Ranking.....!!!
අකිල ගුණරත්න කියන්නේ හැමතිස්සෙම FB එකේ වගේ ඉඳගෙන වෙලාව නාස්ති කරන එවුන්ට හොඳ ආදර්ශයක්.

It gives me pleasure to share my experience with you all. I
started CIMA few years back, because my friends inspired me.
Gradually I realised the value of the qualification. I found CIMA a
challenging set of exams and this enhanced my interest.
As an engineering student at University of Moratuwa, I did not have plenty of time to spend on
CIMA to achieve my best at the exams. I strongly believe that my story would give you a set of
valuable thoughts.
I started my managerial level with the anticipation of a prize, because I knew how prestigious it
was to be a CIMA prize winner. I worked hard, but the result was not enough for a prize. But I
never gave up and I kept on trying, always following what my lecturers asked us to do. I was
lucky enough to grab the CIMA Sri Lanka prize for Management Accounting Decision
Management at November 2007 exams.
I still remember the pleasure and the pride I had when I was awarded the prize and I consider it
as a turning point in my life. I was recognised by many elite people. There is one thing to learn
from this, in our life we should try our best. Then one day we will not have to regret that we could
have done better. And remember, that we should not get discouraged if we cannot achieve our
expectation. We should keep on trying because enthusiasm is a key success factor which lies at
the bottom of the fountain of courage.
I had to postpone my CIMA studies by one and half years due to university exams. I started my
strategic level simultaneously with university industrial training so time was a constraint for me.
But I continued to work hard because I always loved studying. Personal satisfaction drove me to
work extremely hard. I did not have any holidays, my entire week was busy either with CIMA or
office work. I found a nice study plan which you also can apply.
Every day I got up between 3.30-4.00 am and studied up to 7.30 am. Then I went to office, came
home and studied again in the night. I used to study even when I was travelling to the office,
during office cleaning time, during the lunch time etc. I know it is difficult but I had no option other
than trying my best.
Economic recession hit my father's business, so I had to conduct tuition classes and earn money.
I managed my expenses without being a burden to my family. I saved my earning and I am proud
to say that I used this money to pay CIMA subscription as well. During training, I received an
allowance, I never spent it. But my savings were not enough for my strategic level examination
fee. I was thinking alternative options. I asked different people and a true friend helped by lending
me money to pay for my exams.
I realised the value of passing the exam for the first time, otherwise it would be a waste. I went
through CIMA official learning systems, BPP revision kits, standard examiner answers, post
examiner guides and other necessary resources.
As a CIMA prize winner I did not have to bear the tuition fees and I was given all study systems
and revision kits for free, I am grateful to my tuition provider for this.
I obtained academic leave for two weeks and I worked extremely hard. I had only 5 hours of
sleep, I worked from 3.00 am to 10.00 pm continuously. My effort made me to score more than
70 for all three papers at strategic level. I personally consider it as a great achievement even
though I did not win any prize.
Due to the cumulative knowledge gathered at strategic level, I found T4 part B case study easy
and enjoyable. Simultaneously I was offered a part time job to work with the lecturer. He had
noted that I was a hard working guy by observing me at the strategic level class. This made me
to earn few bucks, so I could continue to spend on my exams. I studied UK TV production
industry, T4 case study assessment criteria, report format etc. I scrutinized examiner answers
and post examiner guides, completed 8 mock exams under real exam conditions, read answers
for another 10 -12 mock exams.
The outcome was being ranked as 4th highest in the world for T4 part B case study. This is the
greatest achievement in my life and I consider practice as the key to my success as well as
never getting discouraged.
We should always try our best, utilize the valuable time and never get disheartened. How many
of you have done a SWOT analysis of yourself? I have done it and it worked. Life is not a bed of
roses, it consists of thorns. It is our duty to work hard and achieve success. I wish you all the
best for all your future endeavors!
