CRAM Session
Important Dates
In light of the Coronavirus social distancing recommendations, MSAE is offering CAE candidates a Virtual CRAM. The virtual event will be held over a four-day period, April 13-16, 2021. A portion of the CRAM session will occur each day from Tuesday, April 13-16. Live, virtual sessions will be held from 3-5 pm each day. The MSAE Simulated CAE Final Exam is scheduled for April 19 - the exam is taken in the morning and a group debrief occurs in the afternoon.
CRAM Features & Format
Candidates who participate in this program will have access to the following:
- 38 hrs of live and video learning with 32 videos in mini-session format, covering key content from the 31 sub-domains of the CAE Content Outline. This format will allow you the flexibility of listening to those topics that you may be struggling with.
- Four Test-Taking Tip Videos, three foundational videos, and one How to Think Through a CAE Question.
- 80 Questions with 10 questions focused on each domain. These questions are not included in any other MSAE CAE products.
- Live video calls, during which we will review the questions and the logic behind each answer option.
- The review will offer some enhancements, pulling content from the mini-session videos to demonstrate key concepts. All video calls will be recorded and available to access within 4 hours of the live call events.
- Access to the simulated final exam of 200 multiple choice questions in electronic format. The paper exam will also be available, but the electronic version will give you the experience of four hours intently focused on a computer screen.
