Constructed Response (Essay) Questions
Each essay question has two or more parts (A, B, etc.) and one or both of the following types of designated answer pages:
  • One type of answer page is an unlined page, clearly labeled for that question part. You are free to write your response as needed on that page.
  • The other type of answer page has a structured set of boxes. The boxes are clearly labeled for that question part and provide a visual structure to guide you in writing your responses.
Your Essay Exam Book
Read and follow the instructions on the front cover and throughout the exam book.
  • Page one of the exam book lists all of the questions on the exam as well as the topic and the minutes allocated for each question.
  • The heading where a question begins states the number of parts in that question and the total number of minutes allocated. For example: “Question 2 has two parts (A, B) for a total of 18 minutes”
  • Instructions in bold print immediately following the question direct you to the designated answer page for each question part. For example: ”Answer 2A on page 17”

there is no change in this at all. FYI.
 
No, the format did change. The 2014/2015 AM sessions I had downloaded a few months ago were different than the ones that are available now. It was mostly cosmetic from a quick comparison I did (I hadn’t taken them yet and didn’t want to uh… spoil the “fun”).
 
Hmm.. The only real difference seems to be that they have now provided seperate boxes to answer each sub-part… i.e 1 a b c have seperate boxes for themselves. Also no longer ruled.. NOT going to help my handwriting..
 
  • One type of answer page is an unlined page, clearly labeled for that question part. You are free to write your response as needed on that page.
^this part is completely different from last year’s exam… the answer sheet on last year’s exam was lined paper, nor did the page indicate that it was for a specific subpart of the question (i.e. 4.c). Rather, you had to indicate which subpart you were answering where you wrote your answer.
 
I liked that you could write in the which part you were responding to. If you screwed up and labeled a subpart wrong, you could just change it though I suppose there’s no difference in crossing out the one CFAI pre-marks if that happens. Also, lined paper was helpful - boo.
 
the only difference between the papers posted online pre - 2013 and post was that the earlier paper had
Pg 1, 2 Question 1 and its parts.
You answered q1 and its subparts on pg 3,4,5 - which was not shown on the posted paper.
Pg 6,7 Question 2 and its parts/
say Pg 8,9, 10 answer sheets for Q2 and its parts (not provided).
From the 2013 paper onwards they started to show the ruled sheets on Pg 3,4,5 where you answered Q1 etc.
That was all the difference.
