CIMA Strategic Case Study – Pre-seen Materials – November 2020/February 2021 – Coming Soon
Why is the pre-seen so important?
The pre-seen is at the core of every case study. To pass you MUST fully understand the company and its industry.
Why? Because the examiner expects you to apply EVERYTHING to the pre-seen scenario. It’s not about knowing the theory anymore (you’ve proved you can do that in the OT exams) it’s about showing how that theory relates to the pre-seen company.
And yet…
Almost every post-exam report the examiner notes that people are doing poorly because they are not applying answers to the pre-seen .
So how can we help? Our case study experts are here to support you with a range of pre-seen materials designed to make this part of your revision as easy as possible!

“I finished my objective exams almost at the end of July, leaving me with only 4 weeks to study for the SCS exam. I decided to try astranti and bought the full SCS course (half the price of usual providers) and I was blown away by how much useful material they add on to their course. I managed to learn a lot in a very short period of time and I honestly recommend astranti to every accounting student now. The ten most likely questions tutorial was spot on… Good value for money and highly recommended.”
“The pre-seen video materials were the real reason I passed the OCS, MCS & SCS exams! Not only does Astranti provide great value for money content, it is succinct and makes balancing work/study/life manageable.”
