yes. it is unfair to you and to other students in the class who have done the work themselves.

It depends on when you are letting them copy. If you are letting them do this in class during a testing period, then yes, this is wrong. By doing this you skew the entire set of test results data for the class, and if you are a good student, you lower your own standing in the class by raising the entire class average, that is assuming your friends are smart enough to know how to copy correctly. It also is unfair to the other students in the class, who probably have diligently studied the material on the test. The object of a test is to find out how much an individual student knows, not how much his fellow student does. I suggest you let your friends know that you have reconsidered and won't allow them to copy from your tests anymore. In the end you will be doing them a favor, because it will hopefully force them to study and learn something, which, after all, is the object of going to school in the first place.

It is wrong but the really bad part is that it is not really helping the person that is copying. Test are not a contest or a hurdle but it is to see what the person has learned. If the copier doesn't do their own test they are cheating themselves out of knowing what they need to work on.

If it doesn't bother you, then why are you asking us? I think it really does bother you, and it should. Letting your friends copy your tests is cheating. It is completely unfair to you, to them, and to everyone else in the class. If they didn't study, it's their own fault. You are just enabling them to continue a standard of laziness and mediocrity.

Teachers do notice consistency in the answers. They notice if your test looks like this:
ADBACAADCABDDBA
and if your friend's says the exact same thing. And they will give both of you a 0 for that.

You are participating in cheating. You are doing them no favor in the long run and could be putting yourself in jeopardy. Help them study if you want to help them.

yesssss. if you get caught you could get in serious problems, and once they get into high school and college, they will totally fail without you. plus, how do you know if you're giving them the right answers?

that is very wrong. apart from thefact that they are cheating on other classmates, you are not helping them acquire knowledge
