Integrity!

Happy Integrity Story of the Day!:
(Cue dramatic background music)

Once upon a time, there was a college freshman girl named Jessica. She worked really hard in her chemistry class, and she had the top scores in her section, but since the material was new to her, tests were still very scary events. There was a big test coming up, and Jessica was scared (as usual), so (as usual) she studied her heart out. Before she took the test, though, she heard through the grapevine that a TA had put up a test from last year as a practice test that had free response questions (and answers) identical to the test Jessica's class was taking. Jessica was very tempted to look. I mean, a TA had put it online, so it technically wouldn't be her fault for looking at it, right? However, Jessica decided that she wouldn't be able to live with herself if she essentially cheated on this test. Though the answers were a click away, Jessica never looked. Instead, she studied harder. When she went in to take the test, the free response questions were new to her, and she had to work out the answers very methodically, but she was pretty sure she had studied enough to do them correctly. The multiple choice questions were new to everyone and really quite tricky, but because she knew the material, she came out with a perfect ScanTron score. Jessica was thrilled that she did so well on the multiple choice section and is now excited to find out her grade on the free response questions. She felt she could be truly happy because she did not cheat. (Music slips into a contented piano riff, slowly fading out.)

The End.

EDIT: The free response also went well. Perfectly, in fact. My first flawless chemistry exam. How sweet it is. ♥
