TIP #1 - Focus on the question at hand. When studying with the Prep Course, understand what you’re being asked before you select an answer. Evaluate each answer choice in a multiple-choice question and eliminate options you know to be incorrect. Treat each option as a true-false question, and choose the option that is most true or false to you, depending on the question being asked.

TIP #2 - Read the explanation thoroughly. Do not reread when you are confused about a word or sentence; read on because the next sentence will often clarify the meaning. If you are still confused at the end of a section or paragraph, then stop at that point to reread the reference materials indicated.

TIP #3 - Understand each of the concepts. If it’s multiple choice, you’ll need to know definitions and concepts. Focus on understanding all of the concepts presented to you.

TIP #4 - Be confident! Your confidence will positively affect your performance. Once you have obtained passing results in the Prep Course, take the exam and picture yourself passing it and becoming a CFE!
