The CFE-Fraud-Schemes-and-Financial-Crimes exam, officially titled Certified Fraud Examiner -Fraud Schemes and Financial Crimes, is the ACFE exam you pass to earn the Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) certification, a credential at the Professional level. Passing it confirms the skills defined in the official exam outline, and it is associated with related credentials such as CFE - Fraud Investigations and Legal Issues, CFE - Fraud Prevention and Deterrence.

The CFE-Fraud-Schemes-and-Financial-Crimes exam includes 120 questions and gives you 150 minutes to finish them. That is a tight pace per question, so get used to reading each stem once, flagging anything uncertain, and moving on rather than getting stuck. Running timed practice tests in the TestKingIT desktop or online test engine is the most reliable way to build that rhythm before exam day.
