Is anyone currently studying for the CMA exam? Or passed the CMA exam? Im slowly losing motivation to study due to extreme burn out. I took the part 1 exam and failed by 20 points. This is part of why I’m losing motivation. Kinda feel like a failure. Have any tips for studying for certification exams when losing focus?

I am a CA,CPA. I had to take myself to a library that had quiet study rooms. I locked myself in those rooms from 9 am -6 pm. Only way I was able to get it done. FYI keep going. Nobody will care that you failed one exam once you have the designation. Keep your eye on the prize. You got this.

I am a CMA. You can do this!! Slow and steady wins the race... Focus on your weakest topics and practice MCQs and take it again. Good luck!!

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.
