FRM Part I · FRM Exam Part I · GARP Code of Conduct

An FRM Candidate taking the exam notices that a fellow candidate appears to be using unauthorized notes during the test. According to the GARP Code of Conduct, what is the Candidate's responsibility?

He should report the observed violation to the proper authority. The GARP Code requires members and candidates to protect the integrity of the exam process and not condone misconduct, so ignoring it, disrupting the room, or copying the notes is inconsistent with the Code.

  1. AIgnore it because it does not affect his own result
  2. BConfront the candidate loudly in the test room
  3. CReport the observed violation to the appropriate authority, as the Code expects members to uphold exam integrityCorrect
  4. DCopy the notes to ensure fairness

Explanation

The Code includes a duty to preserve the integrity of the exam process and to not engage in or condone violations. Reporting through proper channels fulfils this, while ignoring, disrupting the room or copying violates it.
