The sky isn't falling, Chicken Little!
The article may give some good guidance for the topic here...
OK... so verbatim questions... VERY BAD! (of course)One Civil PE exam candidate recently learned this lesson the hard way when his results were invalidated after he posted, nearly verbatim, the contents of an item from the exam’s morning session.
And then... type of question... it would seem is OK given this was published by NCEES themselves. This may be what rar123 is talking about.The candidate went on to post the exam item, which asked candidates to calculate tensile force for a steel rod.
Anyway, I'm not trying to stir the pot. But I don't think it's exactly black and white. The agreement certainly seems written by lawyers, which to me is obvious because it's not very clear! Still, all good discussion, especially if it prompts a position from NCEES (though not likely).
