True, and this does make sense to me. I read through the C&S earlier on in my study process as well as the Schweser notes. I noticed that many of the Schweser examples in the study notes as well as the Self Test questions were taken straight out of the C&S, verbatim.

The Schweser mocks' ethics formatting was probably a little off when compared to the CFAI mock. I just hope the Schweser mocks' ethics' difficulty level is at least somewhat comparable to the actual exam.
