Hi amr5434, I specially registered myself to analystforum, just to share a story with you.
There was an analyst with MBB (congras kid, you got into the number one!). One day he was asked to check why one entity performed much better than other entities in the corp. The poor kid did everything he learnt at business school and made a very MBB style deck. The smart pupil thought, numbers might not be enough, I need some icing on top of the cake. So he added one more point, stating that the great cultural in the office drove the performance and all other offices should follow the same. Guess what? The poor kid was fired. Business school 101, never ever attribute anything unexplainable to cultural difference.
Well, one more story to share. This time is personal experience.
I did three CFA exams in China, both Beijing and Shanghai, and one in Singapore. I did not see any difference in terms of test security. Most of the candidates followed rules and for those who did, I did hear they were requested to stay after the exam, by the proctor.
You could never imagine it took a candidate two hours to reach the test center in Beijing, because of no public transport accessibility and the resulting terrible traffic jam. Respect your fellow peers and do not judge by a wild guess. I think this should be probably be included in code of ethics in future.
