Can the AM questions come from any topic?

I can read from discussions that behavioral finance is one area from where the AM questions are usually framed. Are there contents specified by CFAI as to from where the essay type questions will be pertaining to, or is it the whole syllabus per say?

Yes, except for Ethics and GIPs… to my recollection at least.

Can come from anywhere. Even gips/ethics.

Yeah both ethics and GIPS are eligible for appearance in the AM section. Been a very long time since one did though, 2006 I think?

2005 had GIPS in the morning session.

I worked under the assumption that anything from the syllabus was fair game for the AM portion.

Except for that excruciating Corporate Governance note from years back. I marvelled at how long it was and how dreadfully untestable it was!!!

Whatever, only a year off :). #GoldfishMemory

1999 had a couple of questions on Ethics in the morning session.

I had the pleasure of sitting for that one.

Ewww. Fortunately I passed and don’t ever have to worry about Level 3 AM again! :smiley:

Don’t worry, everyone would be in the same boat if Ethics is tested in the AM. It just means that you have extra time to spend on other topics.

Gips is fair game but ethics should be MC only.
