<p>Test banks are 100% legal at my school. There was a story on the use of test banks, and because the tests were legally obtained because Prof’s voluntarily released them, students can not get in any trouble. </p>

<p>If Prof’s allow students to take a copy of the test, there isn’t anything the school can do. Our school was looking to create a university wide test bank. I don’t have any use for them because I rarely have tests, and when I do, the Prof’s collect them. The only class I was handed back anything was in Econ when they handed back graded quizes. </p>
<p>I’m sure it’s a different story if a student steals a test. </p>
<p>There’s such a bag stigma for test banks, but I think there are varying definitions. I am talking about students saving old tests Prof’s let them keep. Using that definition I don’t think there is anything wrong with a test bank.</p>
