I can think of several reasons for her to stay on the high road...
1) To keep her Integrity (if she has any to being with)
2) To keep her self respect (if she has any to being with)
3) To earn the respect of her peers (not scoring points there for even just
hinting at the idea of cheating)
4) The satisfaction of a job well done and being a member of an elite club
5) The knowledge and experienced gained form undertaking the challenge
6) The humility and respect you get for the test and for those who have
passed it (especially when you fail on the first attempt)
7) The other skills you learn like the personnel discipline, attention to
detail, and perseverance needed to pass
I'm sure others can add to the list...
