Official-source-aligned AACE CFCC scope map with domains, topic order, and study priorities.
Use this page as a practical syllabus map for AACE CFCC. It is based on AACE’s public certification pages, FAQ wording, and study-material guidance rather than a local tokenizer curriculum file.
5 hours maximum; 100 multiple-choice questions; 4 essay writing assignments; open book using two bound resources of the candidate’s choice; calculator permitted; 70% overall average across the multiple-choice section and all four essays to pass.
Read each scope area as an applied decision skill. For AACE exams, knowing a term is rarely enough. You also need to know when the concept applies, what evidence supports it, what calculation or analysis is appropriate, and how to communicate the recommendation.
AACE publishes official candidate resources, study guides, candidate handbooks, recommended practices, and exam-day policies. Use those official materials as the final authority for application requirements, exam rules, allowed references, fees, and scheduling.
