NOTE: Stipulations of Fact and Consent to Penalty (SFC); Offers of Settlement (OS); and Letters of Acceptance Waiver, and Consent (AWC) are entered into by Respondents without admitting or denying the allegations, but consent is given to the described sanctions & to the entry of findings. Additionally, for AWCs, if FINRA has reason to believe a violation has occurred and the member or associated person does not dispute the violation, FINRA may prepare and request that the member or associated person execute a letter accepting a finding of violation, consenting to the imposition of sanctions, and agreeing to waive such member's or associated person's right to a hearing before a hearing panel, and any right of appeal to the National Adjudicatory Council, the SEC, and the courts, or to otherwise challenge the validity of the letter, if the letter is accepted. The letter shall describe the act or practice engaged in or omitted, the rule, regulation, or statutory provision violated, and the sanction or sanctions to be imposed.

Contrary to the instructions given her, Langlois left the testing center during the course of the Series 66 examination, reviewed written notes that contained material relevant to the examination, returned to the testing center and completed the examination. 
Madeline Marie Langlois: Fined $5,000; Suspended 2 years in all capacities; Required to retake and pass the Series 66 prior to resuming registered activity
Bill Singer's Comment
How I wish that Compliance Dept's. would publicize this case with the admonition that it's just better to not take the test or to take it and simply fail, then it is to cheat and risk getting caught -- along with the heavy-duty sanction of a 2-year suspension and fine.
