Ethical caution

[keylargo_diver]

This post has almost inspired me to change my testing schedule to take the ethics exam sooner. I find it very interesting the level of conformity that a one sided agreement can instill in some members of the forum. Some have insinuated that people could use more integrity, some have inferred that posting test answers is somehow "illegal". Some have disregarded the original statement and proposed that posting some of the information is OK and not unethical but that other who post more information are unethical. Even if that's not what the "agreement" says.

Has anyone questioned whether these types of agreement are fair and ethical? Does it bother anyone they must give up all there rights to speech about the test in order to take it? Do you feel you are being unethical if you don't report the "perpetrator". I had already purchased the material and invested time studying before I ever saw the agreement I had to sign, to take the test. Doesn't seem fair to me.

Do the people who feel strongly about the College Board agreement apply the same test to all their software EULAs, music CDs, DVDs, etc?

The the college board sells "official' CLEP prep material. Would it be ethical if the material they sell doesn't represent the material on the actual test? Same goes for all the companies that sell prep material. How would they and you know if their material is relevant to the test if no one who has taken a test can talk about it? Really, think about it, a little anyway.

I was going to post some of the fears expressed here but it's time for me to go back to studying.

By the way I passed the Intro to Sociology CLEP today with a 75. I would like to thank InstantCert, and the members of the forum who contributed in guiding my independent study to make that possible. Really Thanks to all of you. I think this is a tremendous resource.
