Why so many blank pages given in exam ?

CFA Level III
#1

I remember one question had about A, B, C, D to be written. I think 4 blank pages were given but I only used 1 page and I know I got perfect on it for sure. Who uses all the pages? I dont understand, and they actually give extra space at the end of the exam.

Um. I think its hard for the CFAI to know how many pages are needed in advance. The worst thing that they can have happen is there are too FEW page as it would create chaos in the testing room. So I think they are operating under the “better safe than sorry” method.

Chaos is the right word here… could you imagine? We had +700 in our testing center

but in reality who uses all the pages or even half of them !!! ive noticed as my “fail band” level has been getting bette, i.e 4 on first one, 7 on 2nd one i’ve been writing less. It seems I write more when I dont know what i am talking about. I hope CFAI likes point form

So people like me will forget to do the last question!

Who cares? Having more pages only costs a few cents. Having too few pages could cause a ton of problems.
