Is this considered cheating?

What are the chances of me getting away with that?

What are the consequences if I get caught?

FYI, u r talking to people who are scare to enter answer keys into their calculator for PAK purpose.

There are sadder things to consider if that's what you care about. Like getting 1427 posts in 4 years

It's not how big it is; it's how well you use it!

CFA = Chick-Fil-A?

I hope you are kidding.

I think this is technically cheating, but don't see the value in it as others have pointed out. If you retake the exam, then you probably wont get the same problems again anyway.

Also, if you are doing this strategy then you are planning to fail, making it harder to pass, possibility of getting caught and banned all of which will make it more likely that you fail.

Just study the material the best you can and try not to let yourself fail to begin with. If you do, then study more the next time.
