This is not about ethics, this is about different systems. I took tests in college where we could take home the test and discuss the test with fellow students. That is how I look at our testing system as it relates to the Part 1 exam. If our state wanted the test to be a secret, then they would not give us our scores online and they would not mail the test out to everyone to take on their own time. I will be attending a meeting where the test will be talked about tomorrow. Now when I was in school, talking about any answer was cheating. So if these tests are so important, we should never discuss the tests at all until every state or organization in the country has taken them. If the scores are so vital to assignments, discussing just one answer might put someone over the top and get them a state final. In our point system it could be one or two answers that will give an official the most points, so discussing any answer would be cheating (if I use your logic).

There are many that will never agree on this issue. I am still shocked that it comes up every year and it is such a heated discussion.

Peace
I gotta agree with Jurassic insofar as those who have the test answers because they are authorized to have them for a specific purpose. They have a responsibility as conservators of copywritten material.

Those who have the answers because their dutchy conducts its test before another, if they would avoid being caught in a tangled web, would do well to just hold on to the information - if they can't guarantee, to themselves and their God, it will not be misused.
