One persons "research" is another persons "plagerism" !
Unlike some exams there is no requirement in the Instructors test for any of it to be your own original work, indeed it is often done straight out of the book or as shown by the guy running the course. What is required is to show that you can put the information over thoroughly and clearly, as long as you can do this effectively and have a proper knowledge of the subject to answer questions that is fine. At the end of the day the main thing is that any instructor should be able to teach effectively and if my notes or briefings will help this,then anyone is welcome to them.
