I actually did take a couple of tests in college that was open book. Not common, but that is what happened. We were given the test questions before and could review before the actual testing time.

I think it is a silly comparison to talk about what happens in a college exam where there might be some standards for a professor to a test that might be taken across the country and each professor comes up with their own test and how they administer the test.

If you got the exam questions ahead of time in a college class and your professor found out, I highly doubt he would be okay with it.

If he is not from your state, then why would you or I care what he thinks or what the result of the test does when it has nothing to do with you and me? Testing is done so different from one place to another, getting a test early does not mean you are unethical. It just means you like reviewing the test early. And professors in my experience often had study sessions before a final and often we went over questions that were going to be asked on the test.

I think that is a bad comparison. People are owed deductions they do not report or do not give other information properly because they did not know they were supposed to. That is why you go to a professional for that help and even then things are done improperly. I do not see the IRS going after everyone that does not report certain things of their income either.
