Below is a video of a US professor sounding out his class for cheating on an exam, using a circulated test bank. He raves on for some time about how dishonest this is. That motivated me to find out what a test bank actually is. I thought it was the actual exam, but it turns out to be a pool of possible exam questions with solutions. Asians in schools get this all the time and work through solved problems, especially in mathematics and do brilliantly. There is nothing wrong with this. The West somehow views this as cheating, which is insane. Maybe the lecturers should have devoted more time to setting an original exam, rather than creating problems that a test Bank would easily replicate. Don’t blame the students! As well, at the very end of the video, the professor says that he is so upset that he has not prepared work for today’s topic. Yeah, give him a fail.
