The CGFM exam, officially titled Certified Government Financial Manager (CGFM), is the AGA exam you pass to earn the Certified Government Financial Manager (CGFM) certification, a credential at the Professional level. Passing it confirms the skills defined in the official exam outline, and it is associated with related credentials such as CPA, CIA, CDFM.

The CGFM exam includes 115 questions per exam (345 total) questions and gives you 135 minutes per exam (3 exams total) to finish them. That is a tight pace per question, so get used to reading each stem once, flagging anything uncertain, and moving on rather than getting stuck. Running timed practice tests in the Fast2test desktop or online test engine is the most reliable way to build that rhythm before exam day.

The passing score for the CGFM exam is Scaled score 500/700 per exam, and the official registration fee is USD 150 per exam. Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying USD 150 per exam again in full to retake it, so book your slot only when your scores on Fast2test practice tests sit consistently above the passing line.
