How to Achieve the 70% CFM Exam Pass Rate

IFMA CFM Exam Pass rate is 70%. It seems low and easy to achieve, but that's not the case with the CFM Exam. Certified Facility Manager Exam is not easy to pass without proper preparation. 

Here are some of the ways to pass the CFM exam or at least achieve a 70% passing score.
​

1. Read The Book And Understand The Concept.

This is a long method. Why long? It's a long method because, you need to read the book not once but twice. You need to read it twice because if you only read it once, you'll only retain around 10% of what you read. If you read it twice, you can remember around 20% to 30% and to make it to 70% you need to...

2. Highlight and Memorize All the Important Points

While reading the book, highlight all the meaning of the important terms. Example, you read in the book, ​
​

Business continuity is defined as a maintenance and or recovery of business operations during and after conditions of a disaster

You need to highlight it so when you read the book again, you won't miss any important words while reviewing.
​

​3. Translate It In Your Own Words

You don't need to memorize it word by word, just understand the meaning and translate it in your own words.

It's also easier to memorize it if you can reflect your experience onto what you read in the CFM book.

Example KPIs or Key Performance Indicator, if you are familiar with that, you know that it is the most relevant metrics in determining whether the outcomes of an activity contribute to the goals of the entire organization and the aims of the activity.
