<p>My AP US History teacher admitted that he uses a program to generate test questions. Which makes sense because I don't think he would have the time, or be willing to make up a 60 questions test every single week. When I google a test question my teacher used, there usually is a quizlet that has the question and answer.</p>
<p>Anyone know what this program is? Is it really cheating or using resources wisely? </p>
<p>Its a grey area. In many colleges, finding the test bank and studying it would be considered a violation of the honor code and can get you expelled. However, if you are studying and find practice questions online, you can use them- so long as you aren’t specifically going to one place that you know the questions are coming from. You can google the UCF cheating scandal of 2010- 200 / 600 students got prior access to the test bank online and got caught.</p>
<p>Yeah Im studying and using practice questions online. However, I’m finding that the practice questions online are identical to those on my test. Is it cheating then? I’m in high school, I don’t think they really care. </p>
<p>I personally wouldn’t use a test bank. It doesn’t show what you know if you just memorize all the answers to the test before the test. For APUSH, my teacher actually made all his questions, and I practiced using our online book practice tests. For AP Physics C, my teacher uses past AP Exam FRQ and MC questions, I don’t have the time nor the inclination to go searching for those, so I just find practice questions online that other AP teachers have posted. </p>
<p>Long story short, don’t use tests banks.
@guineagirl96 my AP Stats teacher just showed us that video last week. </p>
<p>Well I’m not necessarily going to be using a test bank strictly to just memorize the answers. I plan on using it as a way of practicing for the test (60 question tests every week is brutal since I don’t get any practice questions from the teacher). Its not my fault that the teacher was lazy and just got all his questions online.</p>
<p>all of my ap teachers used tests and stuff online, really throws off the curve cause the whole class would get 100’s </p>
<p>It is cheating if you know what has a high probability of being on the test and just memorizing the answers to those specific questions. It’s a grey area only if you go to like a book supplement website and use their practice questions and some of those happen to be on the test, but if you have access to a document that shows all of the possible questions for a test and you can recognize more than 75% of the questions then you are cheating.</p>
<p>Cheating is using any resource that your teacher does not explicitly say you can use for assignments and for preparation for exams.</p>
<p>So would a website like this be cheating then?

<p>Not all the questions I see on that website were on the test, but I would say about 60% of the questions I found online, were identical to the one my APUSH teacher gives me. Maybe he is just lazy.</p>
