Do I take RBC Sophomore IB SA's Final Exam?

So an incoming RBC sophomore SA is begging me to take his introductory stat final for him. He claims that I should help him because: 

1) he has a "horrible professor"

2) his GPA will drop too low for him to land GS as a junior if I don't

3) stat isn't needed for IB

Is it unreasonable to expect an analyst to understand basic statistics (mean, variance, CI, etc)? He genuinely believes that it's fair for me to take this exam for him so I figured I'd let fellow bankers decide what happens

Hmm it sounds like he's either very desperate or kind of entitled since he's trying to convince you to do something which will benefit him but only have potential downsides to you. It's one thing to be a fellow student helping out, but helping him out as an associate is a bad look. Maybe he can use one of these on demand tutoring services for someone to basically give him a crash course on the concepts?
