Testing Policies

 

We must set and enforce policies and procedures to protect the integrity of the CFA Program and to ensure that the administration of the exams is fair for all candidates. It is your responsibility to read, understand, and comply with all testing policies set forth by the CFA Program. Failure to comply with the testing policies may result in your suspension or termination from the CFA Program.

 

Testing personnel will circulate throughout the testing room to ensure that candidates are adhering to the testing policies and will perform a second check of calculators and identification during the timed portion of the exam.
