Cheating for me is when you get the exact Q for the test in advance, and I do not think that happenned.
They did get not only "the exact Q" ahead of the test but also the answers! For a very simple reason: over more than ten years, the questions remained exactly the same! Same-same-same...

They were only changed once in course of the past decade, according to former SLS-Boss and now Swiss-COO Manfred Brennwald. I'm sorry, this are the kind of things no one could ever imagine as possible but that really took place in Switzerland.

As to licences obtained under those conditions to be cancelled, don't worry: Switzerland remains Switzerland, the old good habits, clubs, associations and "friendships" are still strong, and nobody will disturb anyone, as long as everybody gets paid.

For the quality and fairness of the exams, Brussel took care of it: Since Switzerland adopted the JAR in 2000, the Q are computer generated and renewed for each examination!
