    My university would keep past exam papers in the library. This was apparently a little known fact, but somehow we discovered it, went and got them and use them as the basis for revision.

    Turns out our professors were lazy and used the same exam every year. Does that count as cheating?

      If the school provided the material, you didn’t bring anything to the test that you weren’t allowed to, and nobody told you not to utilize the files in the library, then you didn’t cheat
