You are all a bunch of Cheats

On the radio yesterday they were talking about this guy from Pakistan or India who cheated on his Exam. Well what he did was he went into his Exam dressed in his full native gear. The Schal (sp?) and the Turban. Well during the exam he just kept talking to himself in his native tongue. Well this distracted the people around him. So they moved him. Well after that he kept talking to himself. Well after a while they found out that he had actually hidden a mobile phone in his turban and that he was actually talking to one of his buddies on the other end giving him the answers. Well even though he got busted, I must say that it's pretty ingenious.

But this got me wondering if you have ever cheated on any type of test or known anyone who has?

I've cheated on all of my final exams throughout highschool.

It's just easier.

Well, in our Grade 13 Calculus and Algebra exams..a bunch of us had the same caclulater. It had a plastic flippy lid. We found that we could write out formulas in pencil on the lid..so when we opened them, we could see them. But the plastic was charcoal gray, so nobody else noticed.

So yes, I've cheated!! *runs away ashamed*

School has always been easy for me, but when I know something will not serve a purpose in the future, I don't bother studying for the exams.

Hence the cheating.

I cheated in Physics class. Of course, everyone cheated in there. We pretty much had a "gigantic communal brain" that would make up for all of our weaknesses. I was good at figuring out the type of equation to use, another person would do conversions, another would do vectors, etc.

Yeah, we cheated every day.

Besides that, I've only cheated on small stuff.

DI, how did you cheat? What did you do?

I did, i sneaked a piece of paper into my French exam and just copied what was on it.

On a different, yet samey, subject, did anybody see that article a while back about the games teachers play during exams?

Such as -
'Chicken' were they'll walk down a row towards one another until one veers off.
'Paper race' or something like that, where they'll try and give out as many papers as possible.
'Stand by me' where the teachers will stand near the ugliest person in the examination hall.

I think the most cheating I've ever done was on a quiz about the Civil War in which we were allowed to use any notes we had written. I had been sick when the rest of the class was doing the reading, so I had no notes. I borrowed those of the person sitting across from me, and he borrowed my vocabulary list. I don't think I can even call that cheating. The notes weren't any good at all, I barely used them.
Anyway. I only missed one question on that test, because it hadn't been in the book and our history teacher is totally clueless when it comes to teaching.

Cheating for me does not apply anymore for myself. After all I am going to school to get that degree in art. So all my final tests are simply my final works of art. But thinking back I don't believe I ever cheated eather and passed luckily because my study habits are rather very poor. I tend to procrastinate a lot. Paid the price a few times but nah I never cheated on anything.

I'm homeschooled, so cheating would be far too easy...but I don't. I think what makes cheating so exciting for others is the risk of getting caught. For me, I wouldn't have a chance of getting caught at all. It'd just be soo easy...it'd be dull. Plus, it'd make me stupid.

I cheated on a french test. Wrote verbs on my arm and wore a long-sleeved sweater. Since I was sick when everyone else did it and I had to do it in another room, it was easy. I wouldn't have passed it if I hadn't cheated.
Besides, I probably could've written "I'M CHEATING" on a mallet and whack the teacher over the head with it, since she was too stupid to realise that everyone was cheating. God, I hated her...

Jacob, it's as simple as being an office aid for one period during the day. The teachers passwords and such are placed in 'hidden' [yet easily uncovered] files on administration computers.

Find the desired password, use administration computer to access teachers personal files, and print off the answer key.

I'm sly.

Oddguy, i'm sure i've asked this before, but why are you homeschooled? And wouldn't you rather go to an actual school? Who's choice is it? Yours or family members?

I once had a media studies exam where I couldn't remember the name of one of the movies we'd studied that year so I glanced at my notes that I'd forgotten to take out of my pocket. I don't really count it as cheating as I probably would have remembered it eventually.

I heard a story once. It sounds like it may be an urban myth but the teacher who told it swore it was true. Apparently a bunch of guys went from Sydney to Canberra for a rave the day before a physics exam. (now that should be enough to tell you that it is made up cos who would go TO canberra to party). They got pissed/out-of-it and arrived back in sydney too late to do the exam. They went to the lecturer and told him they had gone to a physics convention in Canberra and got a flat tyre on the way home. The teacher forgave them and set them up in seperate rooms to sit the exam. Question one was easy and they all relaxed, thinking they had got away with it until they got to question two - worth 90% - "Which tyre was it?"

Heeee!! That tickled!! That was probably some kind of joke, but still, amusing.

Don't know if anybody knows, but if your exams are coming up, and a friend commits suicide, do you automaticly pass? That's a basis of a film, but i wanna know if it's true.

I went to public school for Kindergarten all the way to Second Grade, but that's when my parents pulled me out. You see, I was testing at a higher than those around me. So, I became a homeschooled kid. I wouldn't say it was my choice at the beginning, because I always listened to Mum and Dad at eight-years-old. I could've gone back to public school around highschool time, but I didn't. There are some things about homeschool that makes it a lot easier to learn. I was able to go to Prom with some friends though, so I don't feel that I'm sheltered from life.

Hmmm, it's just that i would have thought you would have felt you were missing out on some of the more important aspects of life. Like when/if i have kids i could tell them stories about when i was at college and school, and amuse them with my antics of bravery/cowardice/wanker-isms. Will you be going to college? Because i s'pose that would vaguely make up for missing highschool etc.

Of course I have feeling that I've missed out...sometimes. Oh, and yeah...I'm going to college. I'm a little nervous that my smarts won't match up with the real world, but I think I'll be fine.

No... the exam board wouldn't expect you to to sit the exams but they would grade you by the results of your coursework... if your coursework was pooh before the incident ergo you'd probably flunk the exam anyway... you'd get the grade that reflects that.

Hope that helps!

Hmmmm... I don't think its your intelligence level you need to worry about. At uni I was in halls with a home schooled kid... he was weird! Limited social skills... biggoted views... exceptionally arrogent... he also used to freak out in large groups of people!

NOT... that I'm suggesting you're weird though... but that kid was! One to avoid in the Uni bar!

I can imagine that. Although Oddguy seems to have friends outside of home, it could be said that due to his lack of social interaction with different people, he would be classed as socially inadequate.

So, do all the stereotypes in American teen films really exist? Like the Jocks, Skaters, Cheerleaders, Goths etc and do they really hate each other?
