Creating a Gleim FAME Account
Gleim FAME (Financial Accounting Made Easy) is an interactive accounting tutorial that tests a
user's understanding of accounting basics. There are 12 study units. During the assessment
process, if they miss an answer, students receive input as to why their answer is incorrect.

FREE to Davenport Students

Each study unit takes about 1-2 hours to complete.

They consist of the following parts:
o an audiovisual presentation
o true/false study questions
o a study sheet
o a knowledge transfer outline
o interactive exercises
o a multiple-choice quiz

They are sequential; you must test well enough on the first unit before you are allowed
on to the 2nd unit. If the objective has not been learned, the student is provided with
additional information and further assessment.
