    What if I use the money to speculate on the price of oil and then use the profits to pay for a much needed operation?

      Listen, the way to do well in any exam is to work out what the correct answers are. There are a number of different ways of going about this, some more longwinded, and some might say, ethical, than others. But undeniably the rewards are much the same.
      Think of it this way, the exam is like a maze. You just happen to be able, by virtue of your cunning, to see over the top of the hedges. Do not feel guilty about this. Pass it and move on and don't listen to the handwringing moral moaning minnies. You only get one life and God helps those who help themselves.

      Here endeth the lesson!

        In the 70's master conman Frank Abagnale (the basis of the movie Catch Me If You Can) was able to legitimately qualify as a lawyer with a few weeks of study and a few resits of the bar exam - helped greatly by the fact that the exam contained the same multiple choice questions each time

          It would be ok if you use these dirty spekulative profits to pay for a much needed operation - honesty transplant that you so clearly need

                      Isn't the onus on the exam body to remove the chances of this happening?
