No I just mean that people should take their exam without having to cover their answers, it should be the burden of proctors and organisers to make sure that it is not too easy to copy the answers.
I never had to cover my answers in my life before, it felt very strange to have to do it, but it is not too important I guess.
I disagree, I don’t see why the potential to pass should make any difference.
However, I do believe that everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt.
Seriously? What kind of university or let alone high school did you go to? I figured this was basic test writing.
So you’re one of those folks who hunches over his paper like Gollum with his Precious?
^ Pretty much.
^ That looks so uncomfortable, but to each his own.
i was reminded to cover my answers during the exam by a proctor, so i suppose i never thought about anyone copying my answer.
i was too busy focusing on my answers and if people choose to copy me, i take it as a compliment!
Yes you would take it as a compliment and CFAI takes it as a violation (if my understanding of the reality is correct). Big difference…
I would be pissed if someone copied me (or in more blunt terms, stole my answers. I studied my ass off. If they didn’t, they deserve what they get.
What if they just copied the wrong answers?
They can’t (or shouldn’t) just ban people if they get copied. i mean, we can only speculate no one here works for CFAI and has any insider information.
We have come across candidates getting warning letters or exams voided but have we really heard of anyone getting perm banned other than this? (and in this case the candidate really cheated)
I definitely never had anyone tell me to cover my answers. I showed up, didn’t look around, looked at the ceiling if I needed to and was fine.
I guess the Institute doesn’t believe in innocent until proven guilty.
^ Neither does the IRS.

Hi Michelle,
I received a letter from CFA institute saying that they are starting an investigation on me because there is an unusual number of the same answeres given by someone else in the same centre. Only I did not cheat and I’m sure proctors have nothing on me as I’ve done nothing wrong during the whole exam.
I’m freaking out as I dont know what is going to happen to me if I’m found guilty just becasue some stupid odds are against me. Can you exaplain a little more about how this works and what you did in order for the Institute to punish you like this? I dont know if I should worry about my career in finance.
I’d appreciate if you could reply to this message.
Thanks
I’m not busting my butt for this credential so that I can share the title with cheaters.
What should one do if the candidate gets a permanent ban from PCP? ANY SUGGESTIONS??
move on. and take it as a lesson not to cheat next time.
I thought for sure you would tell him/her to sign up for plumbing classes.
