Countdown to CFE Exam Review Course: 10 Things Every Candidate Must Know

Are you preparing for the Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) exam? Congratulations, you’re on the path to joining a globally respected network of anti-fraud professionals. But as exam day draws closer, preparation becomes more than just flipping through study materials. It’s about focus, strategy, and mindset.

To help you get the most out of this journey, we’ve put together the 10 essential things every CFE candidate must know as the countdown to our CFE Exam Review Course begins.

1. This Course is Your GPS

Feeling overwhelmed by the CFE manual? You’re not alone. That’s exactly why we created this review course to break down dense content, clarify tricky concepts, and provide structure to your preparation. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

2. Your “Why” is Your Fuel

This isn’t just about passing an exam, it’s about leveling up your career. Whether your goal is to move into a compliance role, work in forensics, or become a trusted anti-fraud expert, keep your why in front of you. It’ll carry you through the tough spots.

3. Know the Four Exam Sections

The CFE exam is divided into four parts:

  • Fraud Prevention and Deterrence
  • Financial Transactions and Fraud Schemes
  • Investigation Techniques
  • Law Related to Fraud (Yes, you’ll need to brush up on some legal concepts!)

We’ll walk you through each one and equip you with tips to tackle them strategically.

4. You’re Not Alone

At RabloWoods, we’ve trained candidates from banks, private firms, public service, and many more sectors. When you join the course, you’re joining a supportive community of people on the same journey. You’ll be motivated, not isolated.

5. Pace Yourself

Life is busy, we get it. That’s why our hybrid format is designed for working professionals and busy students. The key is consistency. Use the structured timetable we provide and don’t try to cram everything at once.

6. Practice Questions Are Gold

The ACFE doesn’t just test what you know, it tests how you apply what you know. That’s why practicing with official questions is crucial. During the course, we’ll help you decode how the exam thinks and build your exam-day instincts.

7. You Already Know More Than You Think

If you’ve ever questioned a suspicious transaction or spotted a scam online, guess what? You’re already thinking like a fraud examiner. This course connects your real-life experiences to the concepts in the exam.

8. Yes, It’s Online – But Take It Seriously

While the CFE exam is remote, it’s still strict. You’ll be proctored, and the setup must meet certain technical and environmental standards. Don’t worry, we’ll walk you through all the requirements ahead of time.

9. RabloWoods Has Your Back – Even After the Class

Our relationship doesn’t end when the course does. You’ll have access to revision sessions, group chats, and direct support from facilitators. We’re with you until you pass and we celebrate with you when you do.

10. Confidence Beats Perfection

You don’t have to know it all on Day 1. The course is designed to help you grow, gradually and steadily. Come in with a willingness to learn, and by the time exam day arrives, you’ll be ready.

Final Thoughts

The CFE exam isn’t just another test, it’s a career move, a credibility boost, and a door-opener. And the journey starts with the right kind of preparation.

At RabloWoods Counter-Fraud Learning Center, we’ve helped dozens of professionals take this step and succeed.

Now it’s your turn.
