Is highlighter allowed in the exam?

I notice I am the only one with the highlighter and I used it anyway the procter didn’t say anything though. Is it a violation?? This year the procter didnt put the CFA sticker on my calculator too

I didnt have any sticker on my calculator either… well non of the people in the room had stickers on their calculators…

Not trying to freak you out, but even though the procters didn’t say anything, I still wouldn’t have used it. I’m sure that when the CFAI receives all the testing material back, they may notice your test booklet because it has highlighter in it. Just saying.

Sigh, I am doomed.

Seems like a waste of time. I think they collect them only to ensure that no one sneaks one out and releases the questions…

Thanks man! I felt the same too. I think the scanning machines arent so intelligent too lol. Thanks Mr Z for the answer too. I will be more careful next time
