- Improving Your Speed: The NCMA exam has an overall time limit of 3 hours. Although most students who take the exam feel that there is sufficient time, taking the practice tests with self-imposed timers helps you budget your time effectively.

Many students waste a lot of valuable study time by reviewing material that they are good at. The most effective way to study is to concentrate on the areas that you need help on.
