Answer-first summary for fast verification
Answer: By disclosing that the CAPM was not tested on the exam.
According to **Standard VII (A): Conduct as Participants in CFA Institute Programs**, candidates are prohibited from disclosing confidential material gained during the exam process. This includes information about topics or formulas tested or not tested on the exam. Macmara violated this standard by stating, "Thankfully, the CAPM was not tested." However, expressing an opinion about the difficulty of the exams, as in "CFA exams are outrageously difficult," does not violate the standard, as it does not disclose confidential exam content. Therefore, the correct answer is **A**.
