They seem to spend a lot of time away from classes going over material similar to that in tests, so that by the time a test comes they are very familiar with it.

They also seem to spend that time together, urging and encouraging each other along, which motivates them to spend even more time with material similar to that in tests.

It makes it that much harder for some people who regard the test as just another learning exercise, and who may not have ever seen the material before. If they spent as much time cheating as the Asians they could do almost as well themselves!

Think about it - there should be credit for folks who are having to figure it out as the test proceeds!
