[COLOR="Navy"]OK folks -
The bottom line is this.......
If any member should post flagrant word for word questions coming directly an exam the post may end up being removed to prevent cheating and/or preserve the integrity of the forums - period!
But how is this going to be fully, accurately, and correctly determined?
This may end up being quite an impossible task.
How about those recycled questions that currently appear in the official CLEP guide that have (I've seen them) appear in a current exam? Is it cheating to use the answer that was so thoughtfully, or is that accidentally or was it perhaps intentionally published?
NO it is not cheating but a rather fortuitous situation - period.
Even REA gets really close to quoting some exact word for word questions - this is not cheating - period.
Advising others what they should know and lookout for is not cheating - period. Hell I've been in classes (and so have many of you) when a teacher conducts a lesson lecture or exam review they may often remark, "you may see this again." Is this cheating? NO - just positive re-enforcement - period.
The bottom line is that no one should look to or promote cheating - period.[/COLOR]
