<p>if a teacher copies a test from the internet and uses that as THE test for the students to take and somebody happened to stumble upon it BEFORE the test… is that considered cheating </p>
<p>No, if he or she really did just stumble upon it.</p>
<p>No. But it’s unlikely you would know that it would be the test, and, therefore, I don’t think you would study it that thoroughly…</p>
<p>No, although it would seem rather random to happen to stumble across that particular test.</p>
<p>This reminds me of an episode of Danny phantom. The one where there was an alternate reality where Danny had the test answers and it ended up somehow killing his family and friends and made him completely psychotic. I wouldn’t do it even if it’s not cheating.</p>
