Chino - I genuinely don't care if you cheat. If you can't be bothered to do the test, that's your prerogative. It's not what I'd do myself, but they make you jump through some pretty stupid hoops and it sounds like you've spent enough time jumping that using a get out of jail free card on this one test isn't a slippery slope, isn't a big deal, and probably won't doom you to a life of crime.
You know more than us, and you can weigh up the risks yourself. I've always felt the risk of getting caught doesn't justify the gain of cheating, personally, so I used to just half-ass things when I couldn't be bothered. Which was fairly often, with erratic results, but then again GPAs don't make a spot of difference like they do over there. Which is good. I'd hate the American system.
Still! High risk, high reward. I've got no responsibility to you, and I don't think it's my place to talk you out of it. I know that if I were one of your classmates and I'd been studying for weeks (as if!) I'd want to crucify you. But it isn't a holy template of things to come lest ye not repent. It's just a test. And, by the sounds of things, one that you wouldn't remember taking five years down the line if you didn't receive that email. Go nuts.
If it's anything like my language tests in secondary school, knowing the questions in advance can only help so much anyway. You still need to be able to write fluent prose. You can plan the essay in your head, learn a few salient words ahead of time, sure - but if you're shit at Spanish, you're shit at Spanish. And, by the looks of things, you're probably not.
But yeah, who am I to tell you not to live by the sword? You know you've got a chance of getting caught, and have a fair idea of the odds going in - it's your own mistake to make. Or battle to win, as the case may be. Tell us how it goes!
I would either tell her or just not look at the test at all (and not tell her). The second way is less honest with her and if she does discover it you can still get caught but at least you are being honest with yourself by not giving yourself an advantage and it makes it a lot easier on the teacher.
Also I've never cheated on a test... once in highschool a mate stole a physics test in the morning before we had the test and I saw a couple of answers but we got in massive trouble for it (I was fine cause I didn't really intend to see the test).
Didn't realise the jobs market was so bad in America. In my field I'm pretty much guarenteed a pretty high paying job straight out of uni no matter on marks. I still get all HD's and stuff just so I can feel good about myself 
I was pretty much guaranteed a decent job straight out of uni when I joined uni. By the time I graduated, not so much.
