Standard VII – Responsibilities as a CFA Institute Member or CFA Candidate
Standard VII outlines the responsibilities of CFA members or Candidates regarding their profession and the CFA Institute.
Standard VII(A) – Guidance
Standard VII(A) – Guidance designates that members and candidates must not risk the integrity of the CFA Institute.
Compliance
Standard VII(A) – Guidance designates that members and candidates must not risk the integrity of the CFA Institute or the CFA designation through unethical action associated with exams.
All members and candidates must behave congruently with attaining a level of achievement based on merit. This includes refraining from cheating on exams, providing confidential program information to the public, improperly using affiliation with CFA Institute as a means of self-promotion, misrepresenting information on the Professional Conduct Statement.
Related to confidential program information, this includes specific questions used in a CFA exam or formulas used in exam questions. This information is not to be made public for use by other members or candidates.
Sample CFA Testing Policies – Candidate Pledge
- As a candidate in the CFA Institute, I am obliged to follow Standard VII(A) of the CFA Code of Standards, which states that members and candidates must not engage in any conduct that compromises the reputation or integrity of CFA Institute; the CFA designation; or the integrity, security, and validity of the CFA exam.
- Before this exam, I have not been given or received information regarding the content of this exam. During the exam, I will not give or receive any information regarding the content of this exam.
- 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.
- I will follow all rules of the CFA Program as stated on the CFA Institute website and the back cover of the exam book. My violation of any rule of the CFA Program will result in the CFA institute voiding my exam results. It may lead to suspension or termination of my candidacy in the CFA Program.

Violation
CFA program rules and policies clearly indicate actions permitted by exam takers. These include but aren’t limited to calculator use, personal possessions, and adherence to the Candidate Pledge. Behaving in a manner that runs counter to said rules violates Standard VII – Responsibilities as a CFA Institute Member or CFA Candidate.
Expressing personal opinions about CFA Institute is not considered a violation, so long as the expression does not include divulging confidential content-specific information.

Excelente para el FRM 2
Escribo esta revisión en español para los hispanohablantes, soy de Bolivia, y utilicé
AnalystPrep para dudas y consultas sobre mi preparación para el FRM nivel 2 (lo tomé una sola vez y aprobé muy bien), siempre tuve un soporte claro, directo y rápido, el material sale rápido cuando hay cambios en el temario de GARP, y los ejercicios y exámenes son muy útiles para practicar.

So helpful. I have been using the videos to prepare for the CFA Level II exam. The videos signpost the reading contents, explain the concepts and provide additional context for specific concepts.
The fun light-hearted analogies are also a welcome break to some very dry content.
I usually watch the videos before going into more in-depth reading and they are a good way to avoid being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of content when you look at the readings.

A great curriculum provider. James sir explains the concept so well that rather than memorising it, you tend to intuitively understand and absorb them.
Thank you ! Grateful I saw this at the right time for my CFA prep.

I have finished my FRM1 thanks to AnalystPrep. And now using AnalystPrep for my FRM2 preparation. Professor Forjan is brilliant. He gives such good explanations and analogies. And more than anything makes learning fun. A big thank you to Analystprep and Professor Forjan. 5 stars all the way!

Professor James' videos are excellent for understanding the underlying theories behind financial engineering / financial analysis. The AnalystPrep videos were better than any of the others that I searched through on YouTube for providing a clear explanation of some concepts, such as Portfolio theory, CAPM, and Arbitrage Pricing theory. Watching these cleared up many of the unclarities I had in my head. Highly recommended.
