integration of technical analysis. In other words, all past requirements and background
knowledge will be tested in an application format. All candidates must pass and achieve
at least a 70% score on ethics.

domains; however, the Committee members did discuss the potential test focus in terms
of a loose ranking of the knowledge domains from “major focus” to “minor focus”. At the

scoring of the CMT Level 3 Examination.
