Free practice series
CMA Foundation Mock Test 2026
A free CMA Foundation practice series for Paper 3, Fundamentals of Business Mathematics and Statistics. The official paper is 50 questions for 100 marks in one hour; this practice runs a shorter proportional set of 30. Every CMA Foundation online test here is free.
Statistics is roughly 60% of this paper and Business Mathematics 40%, which is the opposite balance to CA Foundation's Paper 3, where the two split evenly at 40 marks each. If you are sitting both, or choosing between them, that is the difference worth knowing: strength in data representation, central tendency, correlation and probability pays more here than it does there. The official paper is also twice as fast, 50 questions in one hour against CA Foundation's 100 in two, with each question worth 2 marks rather than 1. There is no negative marking at all, so every question should carry an answer.

CMA Foundation exam pattern
Business Mathematics and Statistics
Official 2026 patternBusiness Mathematics · Statistics. Negative marking: 0 per wrong answer. Single composite 36-minute timer for both sections combined: no sectional lock.
The official ICMAI CMA Foundation Paper 3 (Fundamentals of Business Mathematics and Statistics) has 50 objective-type questions for 100 marks in 1 hour, with no negative marking, weighted roughly 40% Business Mathematics (Arithmetic, Algebra, Calculus) and 60% Statistics (data representation, central tendency and dispersion, correlation and regression, probability, index numbers and time series). This mock is a TakeMockTest-defined shorter set: 30 questions in 36 minutes across the same two sections in the same 40:60 proportion. Paper 1 (Fundamentals of Business Laws and Business Communication), Paper 2 (Fundamentals of Financial and Cost Accounting), and Paper 4 (Fundamentals of Business Economics and Management) are not covered here since they lean on legal, accounting-standard, economics, or management facts that carry higher correctness risk for self-authored content than pure calculation.
Official source · checked 15 August 2026Frequently asked questions
How many CMA Foundation mock tests are available here?
This page currently has 6 syllabus-checked tests for CMA Foundation: 2 full-length mocks, and 4 sectional tests.
Are these CMA Foundation tests based on the official pattern?
Yes. Every checked CMA Foundation test matches the official pattern's question count, marks, duration and negative marking, and the source document is linked with the date it was last read. For the paper, that is 30 questions for 30 marks in 36 minutes.
How long does a CMA Foundation mock test take?
A full-length CMA Foundation mock here runs 36 minutes, matching the official working time for the paper it reproduces. The timer starts when you begin and the test submits itself when time runs out, so it is worth starting one only when you can sit it through. The shorter tests on this page run from 14 minutes, for when you do not have a full sitting free.
Do these CMA Foundation mock tests have negative marking?
No. CMA Foundation carries no penalty for a wrong answer, so every test here scores a wrong answer and an unanswered one the same way, at zero. There is no reason to leave a question blank.
Should I start with a full-length CMA Foundation mock or a sectional test?
Start with a full-length mock if you have not sat the whole CMA Foundation paper under its official timer before: it is the only thing here that tells you whether you can finish in time. Move to the 4 sectional tests once the full mock has shown you which section is costing you marks, and use them to rebuild that one section rather than re-sitting the whole paper each time.
Are these CMA Foundation mock tests free?
Yes. All 6 CMA Foundation tests on this page are free to attempt, with no account and no paid tier holding back better questions.
