TIP #1 - Take advantage of features in the Prep Course. The Fraud Examiners Manual is a great feature to utilize if needed. The manual provides you with a more detailed explanation of the answer to each study question. You can easily access the manual while you are in a Review Session by clicking on “See pages” in the bottom left-hand corner of the explanation of a question.

TIP #2 - Read and answer each question carefully. While answering questions in the CFE Exam Prep Course, you must select not only a correct answer, but the best answer. It is therefore important that you read all of the options and not stop when you come upon one that seems likely. If you are not certain of an answer, then you should guess, but do so methodically. Eliminate the choices you know are incorrect, and then narrow down the choice to one or two alternatives. Once you have done so, compare them and identify how they differ. Finally, make an informed choice.

TIP #3 - Make note of troublesome questions. As you are working through sections, mark those questions you are having trouble with, and make a note of them. When you are studying, you can review those sections of the Fraud Examiners Manual for more information.

TIP #4 - Stay motivated. Follow up on the priorities you have set for yourself, and don't let other people, or other interests, distract you from achieving your goal of becoming a CFE.
