CFA Online Exam Mac Setup
The CFA exams (Levels I, II, III) are delivered by Prometric at testing centers. Online proctoring at home is not standard for CFA exams as of 2026; check the latest CFA Institute announcement for your level.
CFA Institute contracts with Prometric. The standard delivery is in-person at testing centers; some pilots and limited deployments have included home proctoring via ProProctor. If you happen to be in one of those, the technical surface is identical to GRE At-Home: ProProctor on Mac uses ScreenCaptureKit + AVFoundation, both honor window privacy, overlay is invisible. CFA Institute treats AI use as serious misconduct; consequences include exam invalidation and bans from future exams.
No, as of 2026 - in-person only. Levels I and II have had occasional online windows.
No - phones are stored in a locker. The overlay only works on your Mac at home, not at the testing center.
Yes - heavily. AI assistance for mock review (post-attempt) is a strong prep use.
Need reference access during your exam?
Fracture runs a native floating overlay that sets the macOS window privacy flag. It is 100% excluded from screen capture feeds, window lists, and proctor recordings.
