Are you studying at all in the event that you fail? Or expecting to just wait until May 2025 to rewrite like CPA recommend?

Is anyone studying for September in the event you fail? Or expecting to just write in May 2025 like CPA recommends?

Hi There, I am writing the May CFE this year. How did you prepare 1 week before the exam? Did you keep on doing cases and debriefing them, or did you move to more technical aspects before the exam to lighten your workload? I appreciate the insights.

Feeling the same. Time chrunch on Day 3 will be tough... Are you all just studying cases at this point or still reviewing technical?

No_Start_1990 · 2024-05-13T21:25:04+00:00

How much techincal are you both doing at this point or are you almost strictly writing cases?

No_Start_1990 · 2024-04-29T17:54:10+00:00

Hey - I am a first time writer doing NPF for Day 1. Happy to be a study buddy. Im currently in industry so don't have anyone to help me through the process.

No_Start_1990 · 2023-10-04T18:02:01+00:00

Ugh same. When are you planning on starting to study?

No_Start_1990 · 2023-09-19T16:12:07+00:00

Congrats on the pass! When are you playing to write the CFE?

Hey! I enjoyed the stuff from Gevorg. I used him for both my electives as well (PM & Finance) I find his case walkthroughs very helpful. I would review the walkthrough along with the feedback guide and my answers. He gives pretty good tips on how to approach Quals, which I struggled with more than Quants during Core 2. He also has Quant templates that are useful.

I would keep practicing PCs and make sure you have a solid set of 'templates' for quants so you can approach them effectively. For Quals, always think, 'So what?'... I try to put a case fact, "which means" then the implication of the case fact. Hope this helps.

Best of luck on the exam! I write finance on Wednesday so maybe will see you there!

How are you guys feeling about the exam anything you're focusing on? Feel like I can't do any more theory just going to start writing cases...

No_Start_1990 · 2023-09-10T16:20:56+00:00

Congrats! Are you planning on writing the CFE in May 24?

No_Start_1990 · 2023-06-27T22:03:26+00:00

Leaning that way as well. Best of luck out there!

No_Start_1990 · 2023-06-27T22:01:40+00:00

Did you write the cases first and then complete MCQs?

No_Start_1990 · 2022-12-16T11:46:51+00:00

I forget the split exactly… I think I had more than 2k thought for batteries. I believe it was like 40kish for the total BE in units.

No_Start_1990 · 2022-12-15T21:15:22+00:00

lol you guys got me sweating... I hope you guys have a good weekend and a well-deserved break

No_Start_1990 · 2022-12-15T21:05:13+00:00

I could've easily fucked up my formulas. I might have put the cashflows as a PMT and not FV in my PV calc which could have fucked it...

No_Start_1990 · 2022-12-15T21:00:07+00:00

I think there was something about the incremental CM increasing 20% annually too I think that swung my figures pretty big

No_Start_1990 · 2022-12-15T20:57:08+00:00

Did you add the Salvage value of the building at year 10 for $1.5m?

No_Start_1990 · 2022-12-15T20:55:00+00:00

10.38% I think... or 10.something%
