Before you tell me that cheating in Islam is strictly haram, you should read the following to understand the context of the question. There is an exam paper for A-levels which around 20,000 UK students sit. The exam is conducted whenever the school chooses to do it so some schools may do it on the 21st of December, others may do it in 14th February. Unlike most exams, the teacher has access to the exam paper, but the rules they are not allowed to reveal any of the content of the exam, but many teachers do reveal the content in order to allow their students to get higher grades. As you can imagine, this leads to wide scale cheating, with students and teachers telling students who haven't done the exam what questions are in the exam paper. It has got to the point where because of mass cheating, grade boundaries for this exam have inflated to 93% for a grade A, compared the usual around 80%/ and candidates who usually get an D grade in normal exams, get As in this exam by cheating. It means student who don't cheat are at a fairly big disadvantage compared to ones who do cheat. I have heard of someone whose teacher actually physically gave out the exam paper before they were going to sit, they took it home. Someone has offered me to tell me the questions that came up in this exam paper (I haven't sat it yet, are neither have they-but they have been given the actual exam paper to take home. Should I accept?
