Connery, a smart professional, passed his Level II CFA exam 2 years ago. He could not take the Level III exam due to professional time commitments elsewhere. He is thinking of taking Level III a couple of years from now, once things settle down on his personal front. His resume, which he has sent to a few prestigious firms, states that he is a candidate in the CFA program and has successfully completed Level II exam. He makes no exaggerated claims about his abilities on his resume. Connery has:

  1. violated Standard II (A) - Use of Professional Designation. He cannot claim to be CFA - Level II.
