CFAI Topics Tests - ETHICS

Did anyone else find the CFAI topic tests for ethics to be unusually challenging? I don’t think we are likely to encounter anything as difficult as presented in the topic tests…

Seem to be quite vague compared to the mocks…

Yes. I was surprised by the amount of high level questions there were.

I tend to be too ethical…

I was shooting 50-60% on these which isnt normal.

didnt check topical test, i did past 3 years of mock tests which have 2 ethics question on each sections, are those the same, if yes, holy crap i generate 30% of my total error counts on those

Oh yeah…those things are painful. Incredibly ambiguous and sometimes questionable in their explanations. If exam is like that then I’m sure we’re all in for a real treat…

lol compared to the mocks? those topic tests are the mocks from as far back as 2011… they even updated the irrelevant questions to make everything relevant to the tested materials.

If you’re struggling on those topic tests better review more practice questions.

They are challenging at first, once you practice them enough it will click.
