Hello Ahmed – Some exams (e.g., CCP, CEP) allow you to pick from a select group of memo topics to write your response. Other exams (EVP, PSP) present one memo you’ll need to respond to.

The time allocation varies per candidate. Candidates must manage their exam time to suit their needs. You can save the memo to write after you respond to the multiple-choice questions, or you can write the memo first if you prefer.

If you have any other questions, please contact me at vsmith@aacei.org.

Warm regards,
Valerie
