Here are some tips that may help you as examination day approaches:


1. The key to success on the CFA examinations is to focus your study
on the Learning Outcome Statements.

2. Get a good night's sleep so that you arrive at the test center well
rested. Don't attempt to do too much last-minute studying on the night
before. Success or failure on the examination is determined by what you
have done over the past few months, not what you do on the night before
the examination.

3. Arrive at the test center early so that you don't add to your stress
level by wondering if you will make it to the test center on time.

4. Where applicable, begin the examination with the topic area that you
feel most confident in your knowledge. Such a strategy helps you to build
confidence. Confidence is an important factor on any examination.

5. Carefully manage your time. Don't spend too much time on any one
question or topic area.

6. Don't discuss specifics of the morning section of the examination
with other candidates over the lunch break. Too often, a candidate's
confidence is shattered after discussing the examination with other
candidates. This leads to poor performance on the afternoon section of
the examination.

7. Realize that no individual has ever received a perfect score on any
Level of the CFA examination. There will be some questions on the
examination that you will not be able to answer either correctly or
completely.


SPECIAL NOTICE TO CANDIDATES IN GENEVA

Please remember that you may experience travel delays on examination day
due to the arrival of delegates to the G8 Summit which will be held in
Evian, France. Refer to our earlier e-mail message.


SPECIAL NOTICE TO CANDIDATES IN HONG KONG, SINGAPORE, and TAIPEI

Please remember to complete the Clearance Form (available on the AIMR Web
site) and bring it with you to the test center. Arrive at the test center
early and expect some delays due to health screenings. Refer to our earlier

ID POLICY

Check your identification now to be sure that it meets AIMR's requirements,
and replace it immediately if any requirement is not met. Your
identification must be a single document issued by a government agency,
which is current and valid and contains your photograph. AIMR's preferred
form of candidate identification is a valid passport. You can review the
complete policy in the April 2003 edition of Candidate Bulletin at
http://www.aimr.org/pdf/canservices/april03_canbull.pdf.
