I am very new to this but applying human intuition this still feels like cheating. Knowing all the question that will be on the exam and working on understanding them even if you are never given answers will obviously give you and edge.
what you describe would be cheating. My approach is the opposite. What I did was "You are born during the exam, given access to a training set and the questions then learn from scratch during the exam"
