/TIP #1 - Answer each question to the best of your knowledge. If you are not sure of the correct answer, you should guess. If there are four answer options, you have a one-in-four chance of getting that question right. If you have ruled out one or two options as wrong, your chances are even higher. But if you do not guess, you have no chance at all. If you guess five times, you might get one or two more right.
TIP #2 - Budget your time wisely. The Prep Course Study Chart is one resource for organizing, prioritizing, and succeeding in your preparation for the CFE Exam. Lack of flexibility is the major reason why schedules fail. So be sure to schedule in some extra time for unforeseen events. Below are some helpful tips on how to plan your study sessions.
Decide what days will be your designated study days. Those days should not change.
Develop and follow a plan for getting yourself through the volume of material (Prep Course questions), starting with the section you are most familiar with.
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.
TIP #3 - Take notes for your challenging questions. This allows you to go back and review those questions at any time. When you are ready to review your marked questions, please note that the program will only present those questions you have previously marked within the selected main section.
TIP #4 - Motivation. Make sure that you prepare well in advance before taking the CFE Exam so that you can focus all your energy on doing well. Follow up on the priorities you have set for yourself, and don't let others, or other interests, distract you from achieving your goal of becoming a CFE.
