Right. there are plenty of exams in tech that require plain old practice and on-the-spot ingenuity. However, for medical and other fields, memorization and recall is key, so it's rife for this kind of cheating.
But honestly, if someone were to tattoo the same information onto their arm, there's an argument to be made it was permanently accessible just as much as memory.
- asdff 5y agoI mean it is kind of stupid even for medical. You are never in the middle of the desert having the memorize the mechanical properties of the inner ear. Every doctor there is has reference books in reality. Why not let people just bring those books to their exams if that's how the job actually works in reality? Learning how to consult a reference for information is just another mental offshoring tool like a calculator, so its a little silly when exams force you to work without it.
