The real CFE is three separate timed exams: Fraud Schemes and Financial Crimes (120 questions, 2.5 hours), Fraud Investigations and Legal Issues (120 questions, 2.5 hours) and Fraud Prevention and Deterrence (70 questions, 1.5 hours), 310 questions in all, each passed at 75% on its own. This simulation draws one 120-question, 150-minute exam from all three sections, with each domain weighted by its official question count out of 310. The real exam mixes multiple-choice and True/False questions; we write every item as four-option multiple choice. There are no scheduled breaks, only one five-minute emergency break with the clock running.
