Although there are no formal requirements for a CMT exam, we recommend candidates with a university degree and experience in the financial markets to use technical analysis before taking the exam. The exam questions (CMT) are derived from the official curriculum for each calendar year. Sources: 7, 9

I hope to take the exam on October 2, 2014, but it depends on my schedule and my studies. My reading list is somewhat extensive, so I plan to spend a large number of hours studying for exam 2. To see results, you must devote hours of study after a review of the curriculum. Sources: 1, 2
If you want to pass the CMA exam straight away, it means you have to learn hard. IM strongly recommends that you learn at least 150 hours each part of the exam (there are two parts to learning). For example, CMA Exams Academy comes with a 16-week CMA Exam Academy Review Course which guides you through all the essential material and puts you in charge of a realistic schedule. Sources: 2, 5
It is generally recommended that CPA candidates learn a total of 300-400 hours for the CPA exam to ensure that they pass. This corresponds to 80-100 hours of CPA learning per exam section. Apart from that, the IMA recommends that a CPA candidate study between 100 and 120 hours of each of the far and distant CPA exam sections. Sources: 0

The CMT is an association that gives you a platform to measure yourself, and the audit has become more financial. If someone asks me how long I should study for the CMA exam, I recommend at least 16 weeks. This is based on my own experience in preparing for the exam and those of countless people I have mentored at the CMA Exams Academy to success. Sources: 6, 12
Today, it is a lifelong dream to become a Chartered Market Technician by passing the three-step exam. In order to pass the exam, a number of requirements must be met, and one of these is the CMT exam. Sources: 12
Beginning April, I just started studying for Exams 1 and 3 of the Chartered Market Technician Certification of the Market Technicians Association (MTA) and took the exam on 1 May. Sources: 1
I attended an information webinar hosted by the MTA CMT Certification Host where the audience said it is possible to pass the exam with a minimum of 40 hours of study using technical analysis. I will say that this is technically correct, but only if you study with the technical analysis techniques dealt with in Exam 1. For example, I did cycle analyses, and a good part of test 1 is dedicated to cycle analysis. Sources: 1
In fact, I felt much better prepared than I did the first time, and despite the fear of texts and lack of self-confidence I had after the failure of the first round, I did not feel like I had 20 points less, and my score even improved compared to the first round this time. I passed with very little learning effort Level I (I found this level the easiest) and took Level II for the first time and made a similar effort to prepare for the exam, but failed for the first time in my life. Although I am anything but obsessive, it was an emotional anomaly for me. It disrupted my ability to concentrate and organise for my second attempt at the exam and, above all, for the first time in my career, I experienced exam anxiety and the fact that my confidence was completely destroyed.
