Dear CFA candidate,

As mentioned in our previous e-mail message, AIMR will implement precautionary
measures at CFA test centers in SARS-affected areas. Specific requirements that
candidates must follow at AIMR's Taipei test center are listed below:

?SPAN style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'"> NEW:
You must complete the Clearance Form and bring it with you to the test
center. The form will be reviewed and collected prior to the start of the
morning session. You are encouraged to arrive at the test center as early
as 7:00 a.m. for check-in. This early check-in time is optional; however,
you must arrive at the test center no later than 8:00 a.m. Be prepared to
wait in line as Clearance Forms are collected and reviewed.


?SPAN style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'">
You must bring and wear a surgical mask to reduce the risk of infection.
(Note that AIMR will not provide masks or gloves.) You must wear your mask
at all times in the test center after successfully passing the screening.
Testing personnel have the right to ask you to remove your mask for identity
checks. If you wish to request an exemption you must provide a medical
certificate proving that you cannot wear a mask due to medical reasons and
submit this certificate to the Proctor before the examination commences.


?SPAN style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'">
You are encouraged to take your temperature at home before departing for
the test center. If you are ill and unable to sit for the examination on
exam day, you will be eligible for a deferral if within 30 days you submit
a doctor's note stating that symptoms of SARS are evident. You may fax the
doctor's note to AIMR at 1-434-951-5609.


?SPAN style="FONT: 7pt 'Times New Roman'">
Medical personnel will be posted at all test center entrances to screen
candidates for symptoms of SARS prior to the start of the morning session.
They will review Clearance Forms and will be looking for candidates who are
coughing or who otherwise appear ill. These candidates will be given a body
temperature check. Proctors and medical personnel are authorized to refuse
admittance to anyone who appears to be ill. Anyone with a temperature higher
than 38 degrees Celsius will be refused admittance and asked to leave the
test center at once. Candidates who are refused admittance will receive
enrollment deferrals to the next available examination date. Candidates who
successfully pass the screening will receive a stamp on their hands which
will later provide access to the afternoon session, provided no symptoms
are detected.


We hope you recognize these precautionary measures as necessary steps
designed for your own protection. Thank you again for your patience and
cooperation.


Best regards,


Bob Johnson, CFA, PhD
Senior Vice President, Curriculum & Examinations
