Yes it is, but why does it matter? If there aren't any repercussions (and there won't be because it's the teacher's fault) then it's not bad. I suggest you get off your high horse and join the unscrupulous plebeian masses.
Cause the point of taking a class is to learn, not to get the best marks. If he knows the material well enough that it's not going to bite him in the ass later, he doesn't have to cheat. If he does have to cheat, it'll bite him in the ass when he has to use that knowledge to learn other things with less... exploitable... teachers.manic_depressive13 said:Yes it is, but why does it matter?

I'm not telling him to cheat in lieu of learning the course material. It's clear from the original post that he has been studying. If he looks at the questions now and works through them himself, albeit ahead of time, what exactly does he lose in terms of acquiring skills? Do you think that doing something under pressure in an environment where you can't ask questions is particularly beneficial to learning? Taking the moral highground and not peeking despite practically every other student having done so is about as foolish as not studying at all and hedging your hopes on it being the same test again this year. There is a perfectly logical way of going about this which maximises both learning opportunities as well as chances of success.DracoSuave said:Cause the point of taking a class is to learn, not to get the best marks.

It's not a good idea.
