Joan is in compliance with the correct use of the CFA designation because she states she is a candidate.
Joan is not in compliance with the correct use of the CFA designation. To be in compliance she must state she is a Level I candidate.
None of these answers.
Joan is not in compliance with the correct use of the CFA designation. Because she is not registered for the next exam, she is not a candidate.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Under Standard II (A) - Use of Professional Designation, a person must be registered to take the next scheduled CFA exam to be a "candidate" in the CFA Program. Therefore, because Joan is not scheduled to take the next exam, she is not a candidate. There is no designation for someone who has passed Level I, II, or III. However, candidates may state that they have completed Level I, II, or III, as the case may be.
