If you're a CPA, you can pass in a weekend. It took me 3 study days to pass the whole thing. It's pretty easy.

The paid membership?? They have silver, gold, platinum. Did you get that?

1.5 month one try for each section, if you've done CPA, this whole thing is like just taking one part of the CPA exam. 1 to 10 I'll give it a 4.

I'm saying the whole thing takes a month and half

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam.

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!
