With one month left to Sep 2022 CFE, I asked on Instagram what questions you have about the 3-day exam. Here are my answers to the most common ones. If you are already freaking out and/or feeling unprepared, know that it is absolutely normal to feel that way. Remember, you still have all the evenings…
If you failed CFE, this is for you. At the time of writing this post, I am four days away from results release. I debated working on this post before that because I was not sure I can handle the research on what to do when you failed CFE. I have been getting anxious and…
In Part 1, I walked you through how you can plan for CFE prep step-by-step. In Part 2, I would like to walk you through the CFE resources I would recommend for CFE prep. There are both free (as in, already included in your CPA fees) and paid. It is important to know that your…
A little over a month ago, I wrote the Sep CFE over 3 days in my own hotel room in Vancouver. If you followed my CFE prep journey, you probably know that I started a lot earlier than most. I did it so that I can experiment what strategy worked and what did not. I…

If you saw my story today, you would already know what I thought about September 2021 CFE Day 2. It was the day I was dreading the most and my experience was like being on a roller coaster of emotions. It also went by seemingly as quickly as an actual roller coaster. FYI – my…
I just spent about an hour reviewing my own Day 2 notes. I did not learn anything new (too late for that) but I only did it to solidify what I already knew. I have always found it helpful to review notes the night before an exam as it would help me retrieve my knowledge…
Does it surprise you that I have another update? I am sure if you have been following my CPA journey for a while, it does not. My plan is always changing depending on how I feel and it has always been therapeutic to share it with you. If you are reading this before you write…
As tiring as CFE prep is, I think I will miss improving on a skill systematically (case-writing skill) when it is over. At the time of writing this post, I am one week + one day away from writing the Sept 2021 CFE. Those of you who have been on this journey with me for…
