A brilliant and very useful service for TOPCIMA students. Helping to add the extra marks needed to get through!

Overall, the exam study star products are good, no nonsense and user friendly.
ESS Solberri Survey 2, Name Supplied, 20/07/2008 16:05


Fantastic! I attribute my high mark to the StudyStar method of approaching the exam. Having attempted the case 3 times previously and failed each time I finally passed with flying colours on my first attempt with StudyStar! Thank You!!

Excellent Packs. Very pleased that I purchased them.
ESS Solberri Survey 2, Name Supplied, 27/01/2009 19:29:36


Wouldn't have passed the exam without it. Did very little study, but used StudyStar as main learning tool.
ESS Solberri Survey 2, Name Supplied, 27/01/2009 11:32:21

I passed TOPCIMA at the first attempt, partly thanks to your exam technique pack. It was worth every penny and lots more.

Left it too late!!!! If only I knew earlier of these packs.
ESS Survey 1, Name Supplied, Fri, 23/11/07 10:50 AM


Packs were brilliant and I'm recommending you to everyone.
ESS Survey 2, Name Supplied, Mon, 4/02/08 5:55 PM


What a fantastic resource & fairly priced in my opinion. Well done dl for going ahead and doing this - I wish you all the luck.
Disneypuppy, CaseStudyForum, Sat Nov 03, 2007 12:07 pm


All received safe and sound and it is brilliant, worth every penny.
ruthie2502, CaseStudyForum, Tue Nov 06, 2007 6:15 pm


I've ordered the packs and I have to say it's well worth it. Bargain when you consider a revision course is £500.


This pack and some marked mock exams should put you on the road to qualification and finally kissing cima exams goodbye!
Duncwood, CaseStudyForum, Wed Nov 07, 2007 10:56 am


Fantastic study aid. Great value for money and worth every penny.
matthew.ford, CaseStudyForum, Wed Nov 07, 2007 5:01 pm


Just want to say how great your product is. I have recommended to all my friends on the CIMA course

Exam Timer




Our Exam Timer was trialled at the November ‘07 Topcima exam, and since then it has been sold to a number of satisfied Cima students. Here is an example email from a customer:

Firstly, a big thanks to the StudyStar team for sending out the timer at such short notice as I only found out about the timer the week before the exam.

The StudyStar Silent Timer was really useful in the exam as I set it to count down mode which gave me a constant view of how much time I had left. This enabled me to actually complete the exam in the set time.

When I was revising I used the timer to practice setting out my report format template which I was able to do very quickly in the end and managed to shave 5 mins off my set up time which gave me more time for the body of the report.

The subtle silent red flashing light also gave me a pre-warning/alert that my time was almost up which was really useful.

The little stand made it easy to set up on the titchy CIMA desk in the exam hall without taking up precious space needed for all the papers

Great Reports. Instead of trawling the internet for a few hours trying to grab examples they were all there to pull out as and when I needed, a lot of which came out on exam day. Great.
ESS Survey 1, Name Supplied, Fri, 23/11/07 12:56 PM


Great examples - only issue was applying them to the exam which was a nightmare - if I'd had more time or less issues I could have used more!

the 50 real life examples were great. I did not have time to my research and these came in handy and gave me confidence for the exam as I knew that I had real life examples to score the 'Diversity' marks

Very useful concise examples
ESS Survey 2, Name Supplied, Tue, 5/2/08 9:04 AM


Money well spent, rather than spending hours on research this allowed me to concentrate on the other areas of the marking scheme where I struggled during the mocks.

ESS Survey 2, Name Supplied, Tue, 5/2/08 9:05 AM

Essential Planning & Report Writing Pack



As far as I am concerned without your report writing pack I would have failed as it gave me the structure I needed
ESS Dizz Survey, Name Supplied, 29/07/2009

Very good system, glad I spent the money as it provided a focused piece of research.
ESS Solberri Survey 2, Name Supplied, 27/01/2009 18:35:24


Really really helpful, especially report layout
ESS Solberri Survey 2, Name Supplied, 27/01/2009 09:19:27


Report Template pack excellent value for money made a massive difference to time management in exam
ESS Solberri Survey 2, Name Supplied, 20/07/2008 16:58


rather than the taught course, the techniques pack was the reason i passed-forced me to plan in exam and to tick all the boxes in assessment matrix
ESS Solberri Survey 2, Name Supplied, 20/07/2008 19:34


report formatting was very helpful
ESS Solberri Survey 2, Name Supplied, 20/07/2008 21:33


Hi, I would just like to say thanks for coming up with a brilliant Topcima strategy.

I bought your guide about a week before the exam when in panic mode and
found it immediately simplified the exam requirement and gave me a process
and structure to complete a half decent report in the ridiculous timescale.

It was my third attempt and thanks to you, my last.

Richard Wooster, Email to ESS, 17 January 2008


Very well prepared and saved me a lot of time and pointed me to right direction
ESS Survey 2, Name Supplied, Mon, 4/2/08 9:51 PM


Very helpful, recommended
ESS Survey 2, Name Supplied, Mon, 4/2/08 10:56 PM


I have read the whole pack yesterday and I am going to use your approach as it looks really good! Well done! I have started practicing it already.
Edyta, CaseStudyForum, Thu Nov 08, 2007 4:46 pm


I have practiced this new system twice on the mock exams and it really works for me on condition that I use exactly as much time as it is planned for each part.
Also having the pages numbered gives me a definite limit on how much I can write on each part. this is important to me as I usually have too much to say!

I recommend to get a copy of the StudyStar to everyone struggling with time management and the layout of the report.

Edyta, CaseStudyForum, Tue Nov 13, 2007 5:12 pm


So simple a method yet so effective! Thanks guys!!!
Namboertjie, CaseStudyForum, Wed Nov 14, 2007 6:57 am


I purchased these reports also. Lays out the plan in a nice easy to remember format. This is second sitting so hope it works

Even More General Feedback




Dear Exam Study Star,

A belated thankyou for your very very helpful resources for my preparation for my Topcima exam which I took on 2nd September (2008). I was at first a bit hesitant in purchasing the resources, but took my chances (I bought all three resources), it was extremely helpful for the PC exam as I reviewed the MS Word layout template about 10 times to ensure it would be successful in the exam room. I think this tool alone was worth the £47 I paid for all three tools.

I Used the industry real world examples and actually used about 5 in the exam (i had about 3 of mine own), they were very useful and easy to remember, so in total I used 8 real world examples in my exam.

The business models was also helpful as I partically found the Mendelows approach very easy to follow and apply which I used in the exam too.

I think exam study star definently helped me pass because I felt it gave me the edge in passing as the tools which I purchased (a week before the exam) was easy to follow and apply and I used them in the exam. I find it quite rare in getting value for money, but I think the value received from your resources was value in abudance, I would pay £100 for your resources and still would say it was great value for money.

Thankyou very much, this message comes from a passed finalist, and it a true account of my experiences. It's important to focus during your exams but sometimes you need a but of luck and hints/help to get you over the magic 50 to pass, I truly believe Exam Study Star enabled me to do that.

Thankyou Exam Study Star, please feel free to post my comments on your website.
