I figure if a professor is dumb enough to not change the tests, then this is the obvious result. When I was in school you could buy the last 4 years of chemistry tests at the campus book store. The tests were, I believe, on a 5 year rotation. In lieu of doing anything silly like going to class or learning the material, I figured out if I memorized the "practice tests" I would get exactly median, which I figured was good enough for chemistry.

But seeing test formats, the kinds of questions that will be asked, etc. can be extremely helpful. I wish I had used them in my early days instead of being completely surprised by the tests. I really bombed a few at the beginning of my freshman year, and just seeing a test and some example correct answers would have done me a world of good. By the time I knew enough, I wasn't really taking tests anymore - thank you Journalism and English departments!
