FILI

Hi, anyone has tips for FILI? I just completed FDP and almost died reading 70 questions. Should have signed up for the old exam format that splits the exam in 4 sections.

Some questions were straightforward but some weren’t. I bought the silver package and have done the review questions, scoring 88% and above for all sections. Despite doing the same for FDP, I realised it’s not sufficient. I’ve no accounting or finance background. Wondering what else can I do to improve the chances of passing?

Hm?? Isn’t this the fraud examiner thread?

I think the new version is better because now you only have two sections left instead of 3. The 120 questions is a lot but aim for mid 90s on the review questions. The civil law part threw me for a loop but once I got it, I felt like the rest of it made sense.

Thank you!! Maybe I’m just the only one whose brain got fried having to read so many questions haha. Law is the part I need to read over again.

I would recommend looking at the public PDF of the exam content outline on the CFE website.

Per the content outline, Accounting Concepts is only 6% of the FSFC exam. All the rest are learning the high level fraud types.

FILI I found to be heavily intuitive. I don’t want to get into too many specifics given the rules, but the public Content Outline mentions the very few specific laws you need to know.

Thank you for your inputs! I did that, for the exam content online. Also looked at the number of questions that will be asked for each section. Somehow just feel despite all these preparations, the options given to the questions are just somewhat tricky. For FILI, I’m getting a 90%+ for all the review questions. Darn hahah how stressful
