Just adding some thoughts. I think the best way to prepare to pass the CDFM exam modules is to participate in an Enhanced Defense Financial Management Training Course (EDFMTC), if you have the opportunity (subject to your organization's support of it) to participate in either one of the "Centrally Funded" or "Overflow" EDFMTC sessions.
Also, I think we have a few chapters that conduct CDFM Prep Brown Bag sessions over lunch, which can be very helpful in preparing candidates to pass the exam modules. This can be done with participants who recently participated in an EDFMTC session or those who did so previously, but never took the exams or attempted them, but did not pass all modules. It can also include individuals who have not had the opportunity to take an EDFMT Course, but want to review the textbook and work with others to study.
Typically, what occurs within a CDFM Prep Brown Bag Group is that participants agree to take responsibility for reviewing a competency area (within the module of focus) and presenting a brief summary of the material, including the most important or salient points which he or she feels may be included on the exam. Additionally. I suspect some groups might also use the time to take the Knowledge Checks together, discuss questions they didn't get right, etc.
I'd really like to see any leaders of CDFM Brown Bag Prep Groups chime in here to discuss how they do it and the results they are seeing in terms of success of the group members in passing the exam modules.
I should add that although participating in an EDFMT Course certainly helps someone pass the exam modules, it does not guarantee success in doing so!

Subject: Prep for MOD 2 and 3 for CDFM
Good Morning,
I want to see what others think about prepping for the CDFM. Back in November, I attend the EDFMT Course and passed my MOD 1 test. Due to life and work events I have not taken the MOD 2 or 3 test. Other than reviewing the EDFMTC book, what resources dod you use to prepare for the other MOD tests for the CDFM? What courses on FM Online? anything specific from DAU? Certain books?
Thanks in advance for your help.
