Just a bit of food for thought, don't you think it's a bit convienent that the exact test which you were given was placed on the internet in the exact form you were given it in take home format?

Teachers know how to use the various search engines just as well as students and have become quite adept at ferreting out those who use them to cheat.

Secondly are you sure they're the correct awnsers?? I know if I were a particularly sneaky sod of a teacher and I gave a take home exam which I knew my students would use the net to help them with I'd be tempted to post a copy of the test with all the questiosn awnsered wrong, possibly even one with all of them marked right just to see how many people would find it and turn those awnsers in thinking they were gonna get a perfect grade.

If I were you i'd atleast verify them against a second source, say perhaps your text before you turned them in.

It wasn't the same exact test, it was a page that had about half the answers written down. I had to seach again when I couldn't find the question or the answer on that particular page. But then it would just bring up another page with the question and the Answer that I was looking for. In total, I had to look through about six documents, each about 3 pages long. The only way the answers were fake would be if he had ALOT of time on his hands and was quite cunning, which I really don't think he is...
