Farnsworth exams?  I don't believe I've ever heard of any candidate for 
an amateur radio license taking such an exam. 
 
Farnsworth spacing is one way of sending Morse Code. It's been around for 
decades and has been recognized by FCC and the ITU as meeting all the 
requirements for the Morse Code test. 
 
IOW, Farnsworth spacing is a subset of the set of ways to send Morse Code. So, 
by definition, all Farnsworth-spaced Morse Code *is* Morse code, even though 
all Morse Code is not Farnsworth-spaced.
