Is this considered cheating?
In one of my AP classes, my teacher incorporates AP exam questions into our tests. By closely watching which questions he selects, I’ve managed to create a shorter list of potential questions that I can focus on while studying.

It’s a gray area. On one hand, you’re leveraging your understanding of the test format and content to prepare effectively, which is a legitimate study strategy. However, if you’re using your knowledge of specific questions that you know will be on the test in a way that’s not intended by the teacher, it could be considered unethical.

It might be a good idea to consider the spirit of academic integrity and whether this approach aligns with your values. A more constructive route could involve discussing the situation with your teacher to ensure that you’re preparing in a way that meets their expectations while still maximizing your chances for success.
