Good evening,
I just got home from passing the module 1 exam and would like to provide my input.
1. I do not think Quizlet is a good resource. Most decks significantly outdated.
2. Reviewing the EDFMTC study guide alone is not sufficient preparation
Here is how I prepared for each topic (and there were still several questions I wasn't ready for). For background, I have 2.5 years of FM experience.
Government Resource Management Environment:
1. Only used the EDFMTC study guide (briefly looked at a few sections OMB Circular A-11, but it's too long and everything I read was already covered in the study guide)
Manpower Management
1. Reviewed EDFMTC study guide
2. Read the section in OMB circular A-11 about FTE
3. FM Online - Ethics 201 - Ethics for Supervisors
Enterprise Risk Management and Internal Controls
1. Reviewed EDFMTC study guide
2. FM Online - Managers Internal Control Program a Basic Awareness
3. FM Online - Internal Control in Financial Management (or similar title, very useful course highly recommend)
4. Read the entire GAO Green Book (not that long and I like the way it's written, again highly recommend)
5. A few pages of OMB circular A-123 (couldn't get through it)
6. Read FMFIA and FFMIA
Fiscal Law
1. Reviewed EDFMTC study guide
2. FM Online - DoD Fiscal Law 101
3. FM Online - DoD Fiscal Law 201
4. FM Online - DoD Fiscal Law 301
5. JAGU - Comptroller Accreditation and Fiscal Law Course

Subject: Taking the Exam tomorrow
Hi everyone,
I'm taking my first exam tomorrow. I've reviewed the textbook and have been taking the Quizlet practice tests. I've scored 83% or higher on 5 exams...do you think this is sufficient to pass the 1st part?
Thanks in advance,
Shaun
