It is your responsibility to complete the essay book correctly to ensure all information is accurately recorded during grading and your results are correctly reported back to you. When completing your essay book:

• Use blue or black ink. You must bring your own pen on exam day. Testing personnel will not provide writing instruments to candidates.
• Write your CFA INSTITUTE ID and SEAT NUMBER on the front cover of your exam book
• Sign the candidate pledge inside the front cover. Do not remove the candidate pledge card
• Essay answers must be written in English
• Each essay question consists of one or more parts (A, B, C, etc.). Some parts direct you to write your answer in a template. Instructions in bold print immediately following the question direct you to the page number of each template. Answer all other questions on the lined page(s) following the question. For these questions, label each part of your answer clearly (A, B, C, or i, ii, iii, etc.)
• Answers on question pages will not be graded. You may make marks and notes on the question pages.
