I think it ridiculous. Our chapter has "test files". We use them to help each other study. Old exams and old notes go into them to help people, not to help them cheat.
One of my psychology professor's had his exams on file in the library. They were all the same questions he would ask on the exams. They were there to help you study. No answers were provided. It was up to you to look through the text book and notes to see if you had the right answer.
This is so stupid! Test files don't help you cheat. Like others have said, if the proffessor is too lazy to change the exam year after year then it's their own fault. Also, if it's a violation of their honour code, why are the professors had the exams back. At my school, most of the professors did not return the exam questions to you and you were required to turn in the question when you handed back your finished exam. They would check to make sure you did.
