They defo do, no shit. Initially I thought they didn't cuz I thought for the Practical Skills Elements you had to do a modeling test or Python coding test on exam day, alongside the regular CFA questions. That would be actually valuable - having a modelling test like what banks and PE firms give. Then I realized they're ungraded, so that quite literally cuts down on study hours.
So I can deadass just blitz thru the Practical Skills modules without looking at them one bit? Mark everything as completed without looking? What's stopping candidates from doing that? CFAI is out of their minds man
