Repeating Questions From Previous Exams
Question :
Some of our teachers repeat questions from exams that other students took in the past. This leads to some students knowing what the questions will be. Is there anything wrong with this when we consider that a particular teacher is well known for doing this?"
Answer:
This practice A is not allowed; the purpose of an exam is to determine the knowledge and skill of students, their memory, and whether they are keeping up with their studies. Therefore, a teacher is not permitted to point out explicitly or implicitly what the questions of an exam will be; these questions are a trust placed on him, a trust that forbids him from letting a student know what he will ask, because that is cheating and is unlawful, so beware of that.
