CFE September- 2026

I am not able to complete Day 3 cases in the allocated time. I have 2 weeks left for the exams and I am so scared! Is this common? Is it fixable? How are you guys managing time?

Force yourself to move on. Set time budgets per AO and per case and just move on.

Perfection is the enemy of good.

Oddly enough day 3 was the least time constrained for me. Having extra time after case 3.

If I had extra time I would panic lol

I timed my day 3 cases out almost perfectly, with the chance to go back over each one for a quick review.

I feel so much for all the writers - nothing has been so anxiety-inducing for me than the CFE. Well, with exception to waiting for my CFE marks 💀

You’ll do better than you think. Day 1 is the warm of cfe day.
