Adult Exam Study Integrity Worksheet
Use with Studying for an Exam with AI Without Crossing into Cheating.
Step 1: Check the policy first
- Exam or certification name: __________
- Where the AI-use policy is stated (link or document): __________
- Does the policy explicitly address AI tools? (Y/N) If N, who did you ask directly? __________
Step 2: Practice session log
| Date | Topic | Source material used | Questions attempted unaided | Score against source | Weakest area found |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Step 3: The line, restated
Legitimate: practice questions generated from your own source material, graded against that source, before the exam.
Not legitimate: any AI tool open during the live assessment; asking AI to answer a take-home exam you are currently completing; reproducing or requesting real exam content from a live question bank.
Step 4: Final-week check
- Have I verified every AI-generated practice explanation against my official study material or the certifying body’s content outline?
- Do I know exactly what is and is not permitted during the actual exam (calculator, notes, browser access)?
- Have I confirmed there is no AI tool running, open in a background tab, or accessible on a device in the exam room or proctoring session?
