Know what to practise for your OCS
We analysed five years of CIMA Operational Case Study exams, every sub-task across every variant, so your limited revision time goes where the marks actually are.

How VIVA turns this into exam readiness
This data is not an end in itself. It is the demand layer underneath how the VIVA OCS course is built and tested.
We use six years of past-exam frequency to identify the topics that deserve the most practice, then build our August 2026 mock exams and mini mocks around them.
We weight against the current CIMA blueprint, so we lean into rising areas like working capital rather than overfitting to old papers.
We drill the high-demand topics, KPIs, budgeting and short-term decision-making, more heavily across tuition and mocks.
We flag low-history and brand-new syllabus areas so you cover them deliberately instead of ignoring them.
We test whether you can actually perform in these areas through marked mock exams across all core activities.
Your marked mock results show where you can already perform and where to focus next, turning exam demand into a clear, personal plan.

Despite very difficult personal circumstances, with VIVA's help I managed to not only pass the SCS but to achieve my highest case study score from the 3 levels. Please keep doing what you do as it's so good!
I have had access to multiple other well known providers of ACCA courses, and I find the VIVA videos are so much better presented, the course material is more clearly explained and the tutors are real tutors, unlike some other providers using a computer generated voice. Absolutely, after 6 months of comparing providers, VIVA is the best.
I passed my OCS with a scaled score of 137 and got a letter from CIMA saying that I obtained the joint third position for the February 2019 case study and I believe that VIVA's materials really helped to make this possible.
VIVA were absolutely key in my CIMA Case Study exam - where I received first position in the world! I felt extremely supported with VIVA throughout the course, and would recommend them to anybody. I just wish I had found them much earlier in my studies!
I would highly recommend VIVA Financial Tuition to any CIMA student looking to achieve a high grade in their exams. Their courses offer remarkable value for money when compared to some of the traditional tuition providers. (World Prizewinner 2017)
I want to thank VIVA for bringing to a successful end my study journey. I only wish I knew about VIVA earlier! Since using VIVA, I have passed my final exams.
I have used VIVA for all three Case Studies, passing first time on all three. I could not have done it without VIVA's help! Hands down, the best resource out there for CIMA Case Studies.
Before I signed up with VIVA's Elite course I was already enrolled with another tuition provider, and the way VIVA runs this course is 100x better! I will highly recommend you to my coworkers who are early in their CIMA journey.
