Any advice on what to do to cope with stress the days leading up to your CFE results? (Canadian CPA exams). Feeling extremely anxious and any little thing seems to push me over into anxiety

Thanks!!

Not sure if it’d help, but I usually just try to think that what’s done is done, and there’s nothing else I can do to change the results anymore, so there really is no good reason to stress out about it

Same boat as you. Couldn’t get proper sleep over the weekend. Most likely will drink my anxiety away the night before... and to help with my sleep. Good luck! 💪

One of my teachers told me once as we were cramming (for AP chem which had a much different outcome for me than the CPA exam but I still think it’s good advice) “anything you’ve ever learned is locked in your subconscious. You just need to relax and let it out”. You got this!

Looking for advice on certifications, which is better to take 1st, CFE or CFCS or CAMS?

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
