[quote=Anonymous]PP here. I have one fundamental question for which I would like to get an answer. There are two forms of using the old test papers:

1. Teacher gives a test, kids who took the test get out of it and then shares with friends on hallway. This is clearly cheating.
2. Student goes to a training center to learn XYZ subject. Training center gives out tests using questions created from old TJ tests. Makes assessment on student readiness on subject.

Is #2 cheating? sounds like it is. But, this is a murky subject. Is obtaining old TJ test questions not allowed? if so, how did they obtain it? that need to stop. Also, TJ needs to make it very clear training centers should not try to obtain old test papers and give it to their students, and if they do so it is illegal and there will be consequences to the owners.

If it is not illegal to obtain old TJ test papers, then how is it not cheating? especially since the student did not actively pursue it, as all they are doing is attend a training center to enrich their knowledge. For instance, some of the popular TJ teachers are teaching summer courses at some training centers. Should TJ bar teachers from doing that? What are the chance that this teacher when making assessments will give out similar question as they do in TJ? In this instance, the teacher do no need old papers as they just give it from their memory, and they are the ones creating questions for the real test as well. This gets very murky as you can see.
