I think I fully understand what you did. You went into the test reviewed it knowing your “medical” condition would prevent you from completing it, memorized or recorded key words and questions with the intention of using that “peek” at the questions to aid you on the retake. You didn’t know for sure if the questions were to be recycled but you suspect they would be.
In other words you cheated by gaining an unfair advantage over anyone who just sat for the exam. An honor code deliberately can’t spell out all acts of dishonesty. As the old expression goes cheating is like pornograhy… I can’t define it but I know it when I see it. You cheated.
There are likely dozens of ways you can cheat that don’t fall within the narrow standards and codes of any school.
Don’t act this way it will always bite you. Coming to this venue for sympathy or support suggest a complete lack of contrition. You were wrong move on.
