Not entirely sure. Probably a careless instructor gave them back after they graded it when they weren't supposed to.
Funny thing is, there is no KEY per se because the values are set up each semester prior to the exam. The exam itself doesn't change so there's that, but the student still has to know how to do the activities they're asked to do.
It just baffles me why a student, who was doing well in the class, would do this. Just outside the lab. In full view of anyone walking by.
Anywho, no longer my problem.

They didn't have an answer key. There is no real key because the equipment values are set before the students take the test. They had a copy of the test itself. The tests are (supposed to be) kept under lock and key by each instructor. The instructor gives the exam to the student when they come into the lab, the student takes the exam, returns the exam to the instructor, the instructor grades it, shows/tells the student their score and then the instructor keeps the exam. So, a student shouldn't have a copy outside the lab unless they stole it from an instructor.
It didn't help that they were sitting right outside the door with it with the other instructors and lab techs, who know what the test paper looks like, walking by. It was a technician who saw it and told me. When confronted, the student admitted to having it.
I know students cheat. Everyone cheats. This student's mistakes were doing out in the open and getting caught.
