I’ve read all of this with great interest. If you go over to the Level 1 forum, you’ll notice that everybody there appears to know something a lot of people here don’t - which is not to post on the recent test. Scenario A: Nothing happens w/probability of 95% Scenario B: CFAI rolls in and decides to do an in-depth investigation into CFA Code of Ethics violation w/probability of 5%. Outcome to scenario A: my scores stay the same. Outcome to scenario B: My score is voided and I am banned from the CFAI for life. Question: What type of discount should I apply in this situation? PS: Candidate pledge provided for reference: "After this exam, I will not disclose any portion of this exam and I will not remove any exam materials from the testing room in original or copied form. I understand that all exam materials, including my answers, are the property of CFA Institute and will not be returned to me in any form. "

for the first case: those two were stupid enough to compile an excel sheet w/ the QUESTIONS & ANSWERS… come on now… for the 2nd: some dude posted comments on his blog DURING the exam session still in progress… (now that’s asking for it). (i’m just saying; dont read into this…)
The funny thing is, even though I felt good about the test and understood more than I didn’t, there is no way I could recollect even 10% of the questions on the test let alone the answer choices. I figure that if I invest any energy or memory in trying to remember things during the test, there is the chance that some knowledge might escape my short- or medium-term memory.
I’m impressed with how some of you guys are actually remembering the 3 available answers to the questions. I couldn’t even rememember what day it was when the CFAI had finished with me. As impressed as I am however, I do think it’s a bit dumbass to do what some of you are doing here.
as long as peoople didnt remove the answer sheets, or question booklets or anything else given to them at the test site, there is no violation. it says is plain english in your pledge, you are not to remove any material from the test site. discussion things that you have in your head, is freedom of speech. Unless you have a photographic memory and are able to reproduce questions and choices word for word, you are not violating the standard VII(A)

Answer: Any activity that is directly related to taking the CFA examination, from the time the candidate registers for the CFA Program until the candidate is awarded the CFA charter is considered an exam-related matter. Some examples of exam-related matters include: violations of the exam rules such as writing past time, cheating, or using an unapproved calculator; misrepresentations made on CFA Program enrollment forms or relative to exam results; or **** disclosure of exam content after the exam ****. https://www.cfainstitute.org/ethics/Documents/Professional%20Conduct%20Program%20Documents/exam_questions_and_answers.pdf

I mean what’s the point of all this ? People were stupid enough to forget a pledge they signed and the censure that may ensue, what makes you think they’d heed your words of caution. Anyhow, it’s good if it actually stops some of this madness.

Lol…on the money cgeorgan People here are acting like little girls trying to verify answers and blurting out complete calculations. Wrong in my opinion and CFA should take action. No one here is anonymous. I would highly recommend people stop this useless verifying of answers.
i agree. the mentioning of the forum on the CFAI website is enough to scare me away. be back next year pre-June to discuss questions concerning the material glta
