Solution

1. Incorrect. Comment 3 (“I hate accounting; it must have been 25% of the exam.”) is a violation of Standard VII: Responsibilities as a CFA Candidate. Specifically, Standard VII(A): Conduct as Participants in CFA Institute Programs states that members and candidates must not engage in any conduct that compromises the reputation or integrity of CFA Institute or the CFA designation or the integrity, validity, or security of CFA Institute programs. All aspects of the exam, including broad topical areas, such as accounting, and its relative importance on the exam are considered confidential until such time as CFA Institute elects to release it publicly. Statement 1 (“Boy, the ethics questions were amazingly tough.”) and Statement 2 (“Those Learning Outcome Statements were helpful.”) are not violations of Standard VII(A): Conduct as Participants in CFA Institute Programs. Both statements reflect a candidate’s opinion either about a topic they found tough or about the preparation objectives provided by the CFA Program.
