What is the "ethics adjustment"?(CFA考试评分中的"ethics adjustment"指的是什么?)
  The Board of Governors instituted a policy to place particular emphasis on ethics. Starting with the 1996 exams, the performance on the ethics section became a factor in the pass/fail decision for candidates whose total scores bordered the minimum passing score. The ethics adjustment can have a positive or negative impact on these candidates' final results. (CFA理事会制定了一项对道德标准格外重视的政策。自1996年的CFA考试开始,对那些总分徘徊在最低通过分数(MPS)附近的考生来说,道德模块的得分成为了决定考生通过与否的重要因素。道德模块的调整得分对这些考生的最终成绩可能产生正面影响,也可能产生负面影响。)
  CFA Institute has a policy of not releasing either the minimum passing score or individual candidate scores. Consequently, CFA Institute does not release specific information about the ethics adjustment or the candidates who were affected. The adjustment has had a net positive effect on candidate scores (and thus pass rates) in most exam sessions. The published pass rates always take into account the ethics adjustment for borderline candidates.(CFA协会既不会公布MPS,也不会公布每个考生的得分。因此,CFA协会也不会公布道德调整分数的细节,受影响考生的名单也不会公开。通常来讲,此项调整对大部分考生产生的是正面影响,即提高通过率。对外公布的通过率已经包含了道德调整分对边缘考生的影响。)
