It's a fairly ridiculous assertion. AFAIK, the QuantQ is an online test. [b]How would anyone provide it to Curie? The students don't bring home anything. [/b]That must be some fairly elaborate scheme. Some student decides to memorize the whole test instead of trying to solve the questions in the limited time available, and they commit the test to memory even while taking the other sections of the test (ACT Aspire). Then when they get home the decide to go to Curie and tell them all the questions that they memorize. And then lo and behold somehow the same test is repeated the following year? But if you or anyone has evidence of this elaborate scheme please come forward and report it to the authorities.[/quote]

Hypothetically speaking, for tests like this, they wouldn't ask any kid to memorize the whole thing.  Instead, they would encourage each kid to memorize one problem, or after the test, they would ask the kids if they can remember any of the problems.  If enough kids can give you even one problem, you end up with a decent question bank of what ought to be protected material.

I agree, though, with the PPs who said that the real problem is lazy professors or lazy test companies that re-use problems.

Or possibly a bit of blame rests with unethical students that share the test information despite SIGNING on the test day that they will not discuss the test?  [/quote]
