TIP #1 - Thoroughly understand each section of the CFE Exam. The CFE Exam includes four sections: Financial Transactions and Fraud Schemes, Law, Investigation, and Fraud Prevention and Deterrence. Focus your time studying for each section and give yourself ample time to do so.

TIP #2 - Study each major topic within a section separately. This will allow you to focus on a topic for a particular period of time, which will improve retention. Studying many topics at once is not beneficial.

TIP #3 - Use the Fraud Examiners Manual as needed. Included with the CFE Exam Prep Course, the Fraud Examiners Manual gives you a more detailed explanation of the answer to each study question. It is an excellent resource for both your profession and helping you pass the CFE Exam.

TIP #4 - Stay on track. Study every day or as frequently as your schedule allows. You should study each section of the Prep Course with a time budget in mind. As you reach milestones on your timeline, you will see yourself moving one step closer to realizing the overall goal—succeeding on the CFE Exam.
