If you read the CFAI text on Ethics, the answers are pretty obvious and straight forward, at least to me.
Recommended for soft dollars when evaulating brokers for best execution, 4 things (I didn’t put these in any particular order):
1. Range of services offered
2. Commission rates
3. Financial Stability
4. Responsiveness
Unforunately it’s best to just memorize these sections and do your best to not let the CFA trick u into debating yourself into the putting down the wrong answer.
