Discussion on cheating on tests, exams etc

[l knicks fresh knick l]

do it all the time

 

[drunken cow]

Cheating should be your last resort, if it is needed.
Bout to fail a quiz, and you have to like 10 of them, dont do it.
On your final, were your borderline passing failing, only do it if your truely messed screwed.

Its Not Even Worth It..

I Mean If It Makes You Happy Then Do It, But If not I don't Advise this.

I Saw This one Dude Get Caught Cheating Earlier this Semester Now Dude has failed with an F and i think it goes on your record <-- OWNED

 

[gg0tti]

Hey! Do you.

What i dislike is when others tell the professors some students where cheating. Just mind your business as they say.

 

[spidermachine916]

i'm not gonna lie... i tried to cheat on my midterm the other day

but atthe end i just said to myself: if i don't know it, it's your fault.
plus the fact that the girl beside me (the one i tried to cheat off of) didn't have the best handwriting.

In college??? Studying was my last resort. And cheating was plan A, B, and C thru Y.

had clear pens, would write some notes and stick them inside the pen. If I needed a hint I'd just glance at the pen and roll it in my hand a bit

. I also had the formulas in the graphing calculator in my math classes.

I usually came prepared for the exam.

On a pharmacology final, the professor brought the stack of exams in WITH the answer key on top and left for a moment, my dude went up there and read the answer key out loud

, everyone in class copied it down on the nearest piece of paper. We all agreed to not get any 100s, keep it believable. The dude that was basically failing got a 98

hahahaha this dude is keepin it real.

In HS I did it all the time out of pure laziness. Its not like the material was hard, I just rather play video games than study, and cheating was easy. Ihad it down to a science. I pulled everything from the notes up the sleeve, notes written on my backpack with a sharpie, stealing tests, trading answer sheetsduring the test, the whole 9. I had an older brother 2 years ahead of me who was a bookworm, top 3 in his class kinda stuff, and he kept EVERYTHING on thefamily computer. A lot of the teachers were so lazy they would give the same assignments year in year out so I had a treasure trove on my hands. Hell, Iwould sell my brother's old homework assignments, reports, etc.. to other kids for cash money. It was extra funny in HS that I got voted "Most Likelyto Succeed" my senior year.

College though was a different story. I wasnt gonna pull stuff like stealing tests or nothing like that. Too much risk for the reward. Furthermore, thepeople at my college (state school) were idiots, and very few were competent enough where I would want to cheat off of them. I did help other people cheatthough cause I am a firm believer in the give and take system. I took like a mother effer in HS so its only fair I return to favor to some grateful albeitstupid fellow student.

[extraordinary swag]

I wish the iPhone was out when I was in college

. I woulda used it instead of trying to read off that tiny Treo screen.

But another technique I used frequently is I would write down everything I could remember on the test as soon as they hand it out, the more time that goes bythe harder it is to retain the info. Works especially well in math.

Also in college you have an abundance of professors who recycle the exact same tests every semester, just link up with someone who took the class already andyou're in business.

[tillmatic]

Last time I cheated I took some pictures of the study guide with my Blackberry. Worked out great.

Damn when I was in school, teachers didn't even allow bathroom breaks during tests/quizes

Yup.

On my first chemistry exam, a girl asked the professor if she could use her phone as a calculator to which he responded "if it doesn't make any noise,why not?" I

and whipped my blackberry out ASAP and have been using it for every exam/quizever since.

at me for not pulling straight A's in the class.Doubt its going to continue to be this easy in college so for the final I'm going to try and not rely on it, even though I'll have some notes storedjust in case.

It's true that if you smear the lines, the machine won't mark anything wrong, but it also won't mark the test at all.
It'll signal that the scantron is messed up, then the person passing it through will look at it and obviously see the chapstick.

 

[prokid404]

On the left side of most scantrons that I know of, there are black
lines next to question numbers. My hypothesis is that these black lines
tell the machine where to scan. I don't know how it works, but it does,
but not as often to create a great advantage. It works about 25%-30% of
the time. I suppose coupled with actual guessing, this does add to the
probability of getting a correct answer. This is my recommended hack.
This is the hack that will work more often than any other. Do it only on
the ones you can't answer.

Same dude says the chapstick thing doesnt work

 

[ce0 mal]

I only cheated on things I didn't care to learn.

There's no point to learn trig or anything like that if you are never going to use it in life. So cheat and pass the course to take a course you actuallycare about and will study for to actually absorb the material.

Learning pointless information is well...pointless.

 

[bostonthreeparty]

i've been caught once in maybe 3 years of cheating. i still woulda done fine on it, still don't know why i did cheat at that time.
I've cheated on Vocab quizzes cause i can't remember 20 words, definitions and parts of speech in 4 days. so little piece of paper with the spellingand part of speech, sweatshirt on lap and your good to go.

I also still today get someone in my English class to give me a paragraph for writing and i give him one, change words around and your set.

i'd be a failure if i didn't cheat
