Thank you.

Now I have 30 days to write a response to CFAI. Apparently there's no form or standardized text. Some 20 pages about "Rules for Procedure of Professional Conduct" where enclosed with the letter and the "explanations" by the proctor. The letter just says about the 30 days period to response. I'm not at home and my girlfriend e-mailed me just the letter from CFAI and the crap from the proctor. I will take a look at the rest when I get home this weekend to see if it says anything else.

I guess I will just copy the entire text by the proctor and comment what I can every few lines. What I have put here is basically it. There's nothing more than a map of the exam room indicating where I was sitting and where the proctor was standing.

Believe me, if I had had to write my response yesterday, when I received the letter, I could have get suspended, but certainly not for being a cheater. Now, after carefully reading it (multiple times) and letting other people read it (everybody thought it was some kind of joke) I'm more relaxed, though still wanting to set that guy in fire.

just an over zealous protocor. did the protocor warn u? i strongly believe that if a candiate is trying to cheat, the protocor gives a warning. if the protocor didnt warn u, y didnt he do so...this case is weak. good luck

Wow-I've never heard of such a thing happening before.

The truth is, none of this proves you cheated. The burden of proof is on them and this is circumstantial evidence at best. I would think if the proctor really suspected you cheated he would have confronted you in the exam, but he couldn't. What is the procedure for defending yourself? I would answer each point like you did here, in a little nicer tone.

By the way, shifting in your seat seven times is not unusual. I'm only about 5' 6" and the low seats, combined with the high table, in my test center meant that my test was not at in a comfortable position. Also the chairs are such garbage that the rocked from side to side, so shifting in ones seat was inevitable.

Good luck. You should beat this with no problem

That's exactly what I think...

why would you just get this letter kid? the exam was over 4 weeks ago?

maybe the proctor thinks by reporting everything remotely suspicious, he can add it to his resume and find a real full time job.
