Ethical caution

[jadechow]

Gary,
While I agree that integrity seems to be something that everyone could use a little more exposure to, I would like to add that as a newer member of the "testing out" community that I don't think I could have survived without the test-specific feedback forum.

Do I think that the exact questions should be provided there for me? No. But, does having a really, really good idea what to expect on the test give me the confidence to take it (and hopefully do well)? You betcha. However, I have to disagree that it violates any "test disclosure" policy.

Obviously the information contained in the test-specific forum is helpful but if it crossed any lines content-wise wouldn't we all be getting 80s? Maybe I am way out of line here but I recall someone on this forum last week who was a little discouraged by just barely passing a test and that was with the benefit of the forum info.

I am concerned that we now run the risk of people feeling that they should not share information for fear of condemnation. Maybe all of this is coming out simply because I am on the beginning of this journey and see a long road ahead of me. I don't know. So, please understand that none of this is directed personally at any one. I do not know what I would do without the kindness and support of the people here. I guess, it's a slippery slope and maintaining a balance is the key.
