2023 CFRE Exam Compass Study Guide Now Available

As part of a regular review cycle, we made several updates to the CFRE exam’s Test Content Outline.

To ensure our study materials align with the current exam’s content, we’ve updated the CFRE Exam Compass Study Guide for 2023. It ladders up to the exam form test-takers will encounter beginning January 15, 2023.

Get the Latest Edition

Available for purchase now as an ebook or hard copy, the 2023 guide includes the latest versions of the Test Content Outline and CFRE Exam Study Plan Template.

Already Have a Prior Copy?

If you own a prior version of the CFRE Exam Compass Study Guide, it is not recommended to buy the 2023 version as updates to the Test Content Outline were not substantiative.

Your current version will remain a valuable tool and content is applicable with the exception of the Test Content Outline, Resource Reading List, and CFRE Exam Study Plan Template. Please access these from the links in this paragraph or the Study Aids section.

While we added several new questions for 2023, questions in prior versions of the CFRE Exam Compass Study Guide will remain relevant.
