# Adult Exam Study Integrity Worksheet

Use with [Studying for an Exam with AI Without Crossing into Cheating](/articles/exam-study-with-ai-without-cheating-adults).

## 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?
