I had a hard time with the afternoon section as well. I was scoring in the 80's on Stalla and Elan and EOC questions, but didn't do very hot on the CFA mock... I'm kinda worried now...

CFA mock ethics is tough in my opinion. I took CFA mock afternoon and scored 50% in ethics. In the schweser practice tests I got consistently above 70% in this section.

Why would you need to memorize the names? They provide the names...isn't it more about what each standard entails?

Elan's Ethics questions are easier, but for other topic areas they're are a good reflection of the actual test. You must read Ethics at least once from the curriculum and do the EOC questions to improve your performance. Have you already done so?

I haven't taken the Elan tests, but I found the CFAI mocks pretty close to the actual exam questions. For me, the key strategy for answering the Ethics questions was to figure out which of the 7 professional standards they addressed:

(1) Professionalism
(2) Integrity of Capital Markets
(3) Duties to Clients
(4) Duties to Employers
(5) Investment Analysis, Recommendations, and Actions
(6) Conflicts of Interest
(7) Responsibilities as a CFA Institute Member or CFA Candidate

To help remember this list, I used the mnemonic: "Professional Investors Don't Disclose Internal Confidential Relationships."

Hope this helps,
