I am sitting for my CPMA exam in a couple months and I am reading some conflicting info on what is allowed to be written in my code books. Per the FAQs: Handwritten notes are acceptable in the coding books only if they pertain to daily coding activities. Questions from the Study Guides, Practice Exams or the Exam itself are prohibited. Tabs may be inserted, taped, pasted, glued, or stapled in the manuals so long as the obvious intent of the tab is to earmark a page with words or numbers, not supplement information in the book.

No materials (other than tab dividers) may be inserted, taped, pasted, glued, or stapled in the manuals.

So – I want to write specifics on the laws, like the Stark Law and Anti-Kickback Law, such as their differences, fines, ect. Also writing stuff specific to auditing (which I am sure if fine as that is specifically related to daily activities of an auditor). So what do my fellows think about writing notes on the laws/penalties/fines/compliance plans and all that jazz. There’s so much info and I want to be prepared!

Thanks!
