Does the jurisprudential ruling on using compilations of القدرات (standardized aptitude test) differ, and is their use permissible, especially since most students use them, high scores require their use, and the question setters do not exert effort to prevent them, but rather contribute to their spread?
It is forbidden to view or publish exam questions if the exam is solely derived from them, or if the organizing body prohibits it, because doing so negates the meaning of the exam and prevents distinguishing between student levels, which is clear injustice. However, if the questions are free from these two issues, there is no harm in publishing and benefiting from them. This matter must be presented to the responsible authorities to rectify the situation and correct the error, because the loss of the meaning of exams leads to widespread corruption and entrusting matters to those who are not qualified, which is a betrayal of trust.
