Would this be considered cheating in exams ? More details inside?

That’s photographic memory, I’ve done that in college – - Physics. Used a practice exam book, took the exam in 25 minutes; exam was two hours. GOT A 95 % The professor had worked as a grad student at the University that the author of the practice exam taught at using the same exams.

Cheating is whatever the school considers cheating, which can change.
Some decades ago, using a calculator during a maths exam would have been cheating, but when I was taking the final exams, a programmable calculator was mandatory, and the exams were pretty much tailored for calculator use. We were even allowed, if not encouraged, to have custom programs installed to make things easier.
Or Chemistry/Physics exams. An expected thing to use during exams was a book containing all the common formulas.

The calculator that we were required to have was this one
You could even program games on it, like a simple car racing game.
Unfortunately mine was destroyed by a battery leagage.

Someday we might be born with the info already loaded into our brains along with numerous remotes to control stuff like the TV.

In engineering you were not only allowed to bring a calculator it was department policy to allow a single sheet of paper with anything you wanted on it provided it was hand written. This would have been “cheating” decades ago. The exams were still very hard but you had to put serious thought into what went on that page. You can photocopy the book, but you won’t understand it. That’s something you either already understand or have to put work into studying it.

Back in the Bronze Age when I was in college, I use to cheat with my slide rule. I wrote important information and formulas on the back in a very light pencil. I could quickly smear most of it away with my greasy hands if I got caught. There was zero tolerance for cheating.

2 decades later I was taking a National License exam for Clinical Lab Scientist. They let us use your calculators but each calculator was examined closely before the 3 hour exam for stored memory. I didn’t cheat on that one. HA!

If it were possible to transfer information directly into the brain so that the student understands it as well as if they had read it, then you might as well do away with schools and have everyone learn by way of data transfers.

When you have a government that doesn’t want you to understand what you are reading, it could be a distinct possibility & not be considered cheating. It might be a form of mind control!!!

If they did that to my brain they might not find anything to reload.
