Useful information

The exam preparation manuals sold by the AMF and related addenda can be brought into the exam room.

 

Inserting materials such as sticky notes or loose papers into AMF manuals is prohibited unless they are used solely as dividers.

 

Handwritten notes in the manuals are permitted but must be related to the subject matter of the pages on which they are written. Such notes must be in English or French. Transcribing exercises is not allowed.

 

To ensure compliance with copyright, anyone who brings photocopies of AMF manuals or altered AMF manuals into an exam session will be asked to leave (for example, cutting a manual’s original binding and putting the pages in a ring binder or binding comb is considered an alteration and consequently prohibited).
