What This Topic Is Testing

Common Traps

• choosing a client-service answer when the exam is testing branch evidence and control quality
• accepting representative notes without confirming whether required disclosure, KYC, or suitability evidence exists
• treating an exception as isolated when the facts suggest a supervision or training weakness
• skipping escalation when the issue involves complaints, leverage, vulnerable clients, prohibited conduct, or repeated deficiencies
