Warning: Links or description of sites offering pirated materials; trading tests

In the past weeks, we have witnessed a growing number of posts advertising or linking to sites that offer pirated material in violation of copyright laws. One such site is using a name that intimates a connection to College Confidential as it is presented as a CC SAT private site.

Please note that College Confidential condemns the practice of violating copyright laws in the strongest terms. We have no other choice to impose a zero tolerance and prohibit ALL discussions, links, or advertising about sites offering ILLEGAL copies of past tests, books, or SAT courses.

Members who violate the prohibition to discuss such sites in any shape or form will be banned on the spot, and this regardless of their contributions or length of participation at College Confidential.

This is the sticky on the AP Tests Preparation forum:
Reminder about sharing/requesting exams.

Quote:

Dear College Confidential Members,
I would like to remind you that the sharing and/or selling of copyrighted materials is not allowed on our site; this includes the swapping of official AP test materials. Even if you paid for these materials yourself, you are in violation of copyright law when you copy and distribute these tests.[...]

This policy also covers official PSAT, SAT, and ACT tests, as well as practice tests from online courses and access to those courses.
Members who request or offer anything from the above list are violating College Confidential Terms of Service and will be penalized, up to and including permanent banishment from College Confidential.
