Is it cheating to find out the questions being asked before a competency based interview

If you're rubbish at interviews, but very very good at your job. If the opportunity presented itself that you could find out all the questions that were being asked before the competency based interview. Is it really really wrong to accept the information without the panel knowing?

You would still have to formulate your own answers to the questions. But would know what was being asked so there would be no surprises and you could repeat your pre done answers.

If I was interviewing candidates and found out one candidate had the questions first but the others didn't, I'd consider it cheating. I'd also discount all your responses because who knows if they're factually correct? You had time to make any adaptations you felt you needed and clearly lack integrity by taking an unfair advantage, so you're immediately untrustworthy.

Your friend should face disciplinary, too.
