New test-sharing Web site

A new site, postyourtest.com, out of San Diego, is urging university students to upload paper exams to a free online database of college tests.

So far, the tests available appear limited to sunny Southern California, but the site's interface suggests national, even global, ambitions.

Thanks to insidehighered.com for alerting us to this exciting new development in student cheating -- er, studying -- technology. Check out their story for details and a lively discussion.

Aim this at professors instead of students, and it's a winner of an idea.

Actually, the schools themselves should have a policy to require professors who release the tests to students to make them available to everyone. This stuff has been going on for years and the playing field needs to be fair.

One of the best reasons to join a Greek organization is the exam bank. It is in the attic of every greek house and is a huge advantage.
