TIP #1 - Discover your weak areas. The Pre-Assessment could be used as a tool to discover your weak areas. It is designed to identify your topical strengths and weaknesses, which will allow you to structure your work with the CFE Exam Prep Course effectively and efficiently. The Pre-Assessment is optional and can only be taken once.

TIP #2 - Budget in time to study. Studying well in advance will pay off in the end. Study every day or as frequently as your schedule allows. Study each section of the CFE Exam Prep Course with a time budget in mind. See the additional study tips below:

1. Decide which days will be your designated study days.
2. Develop and follow a plan for getting yourself through the volume of material in the Prep Course, starting with the section you are most familiar with.
3. Strive to answer a certain number of questions correctly during each study session. Focus on the quality of your studying rather than the length of time it takes you to get through the sessions.

TIP #3 - Organize your study notes. Take organized notes to accompany any questions you mark for review in the Prep Course. Doing so will allow you to go back and review any challenging questions or material at any time. When you review your marked questions, please note that the program will only present questions you have previously marked for review in the bottom-right corner of each question.

TIP #4 - Maintain your confidence! Your confidence will positively affect your performance on the CFE Exam. Once you are obtaining passing results in your studies, picture yourself passing the CFE Exam and becoming a CFE!
