Ruth Brett, a Level I CFA candidate, is a research analyst for a large investment firm. Due to a demanding work schedule with long hours, Brett was unable to attend any sort of exam preparation class, and has only been able to study sporadically. Feeling nervous and unprepared the night before the exam, Brett writes a few key notes on the bottom of her shoe. At the exam, Brett sees the large number of proctors present and decides not to risk getting caught and does not look at her shoe. According to the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct, Brett is:

A.Not in violation of any Standard or the Code of Ethics because she did not use the notes.

B.In violation of the Code of Ethics for bringing the notes into the examination room but is not in violation of any Standard because she did not use the notes.

C.In violation of both the Code of Ethics and the Standard governing conduct as Members and Candidates in the CFA Program for taking the notes into the examination room.
