Cheating on UK tests

[CyberAkuma]

I've studied biochemistry at the University for 2 and a half years and if there's something I know well of is that it doesn't matter if you cheat or not. Either you studied or you didn't.
If you didn't study, no cheat-sheet in the world will ever help you get the grade you aim for, even just PASSING the test.

I have never ever needed a single sheet of paper as a undergraduate during my tests and I've always scored the highest points simply because I planned my days well and studied.
Either you DID your homework, or you DIDN'T.

Bastard.

Anyways... Honestly, cheating is more trouble than it's worth... Studying shit is generally easier than cheating. Be more energy efficient! Study!

Hey fello escapists.
Thanks to gaming and it's wonderous glory, im now crapping myself over the coming prelims.
I already have an idea on what to do.
I have 6 packets of tissues with me that can fit in my pocket, before the exam I will write peices of information onto them that will help cheat on the test.

How do YOU cheat?

You're asking people how they cheat on a test? This can't end well. Hon, you should have studied, then you wouldn't have to resort to cheating

Im not asking, im merely wondering what others would do.

In other words, you're asking.

2 Guys at my school cheated in a GCSE exam... they were kicked out the school, and were disqualified from all of there GCSEs. They ended up having to go to a different school to repeat there GCSEs (Well, one did, the other went straight into work and last I heard ended up joining the RAF or something)

Basicly, don't cheat, not worth it, etc, etc.

Oh and for coursework, tutors will know if you cheat, my housemate got done for collusion, along with 5 of his mates (out of 7 of them that did it, so one was smart enough to edit his sufficiently). None of them got kicked out of uni, but they all had to repeat that module the following year. (Funnily enough, this freind of my mine is now in the 5th year of his 3 year degree!)

I cheated once, when I forgot I had a German test and didn't study for it like I usually do. Simply wrote down the answers lightly on my desk. Otherwise, I never cheat.

Edit: I don't think it's illegal in America, but I don't know.

 

[sirdanrhodes]

I don't cheat, cheating is for stupid people.

This.

Or if I really don't know the answer I'll write "I am a fish" 400 times and keel over.

Nice subtle Red Dwarf quote there.

For me, I either pass with revision, or fail like a dumb ass, but I never cheat.

How do YOU cheat?

Use a compass to scrape any equations/important information onto either a calculator, or a tin pencil case.

Ensure you have a pencil, and you can shade over it to see what you wrote.

I don't think you're taken to court for cheating. You're possibly expelled though. It goes against the college's rules of conduct, not against the country's legislation...

Is that the Contra cheat code?

Edit: I pushed up my glasses while leaning in to the laptop to get a better look at the cheat code.

Just in case you needed a visual to go with the above sentence.

Not that I'm familiar with the UK tests, being that I'm from Canada but even with a bachelor's degree I never attempted to cheat on any test. I only know one person who ever tried cheating on a test and was kicked form school and lost his tuition, and cost for the text books etc. Plagiarism is also technically cheating and there is 0 tolerance for that in most schools.

If you find it necessary to cheat then drop out and go work at a convenience store or something.

Heh, not sure the convience store bit is right, but if you really are stuggeling you may want to try an apprenticeship or something less academic

I hate cheaters (and glitchers). Just construct an elaborate mind map of the concepts you are supposed to "learn" and f***ing do it!

Seriously, study. I've just had my mocks and there're 3 things I can tell you:

1. There is too much that could be in the test for you to ever possibly cheat.
2. It's almost impossible to cheat anyway, haven't you seen the rules?
3. It's simply not worth it in the long term or the real thing.

If you cheat, you will be disqualified from every single exam with that exam board, be it AQA, Edexel, or Cambridge. That's potentially a lot of exams. They will also warn the other exam boards, who will likely disqualify you as well, and from all future exams.

If you get a bad grade, however, it's fine. You can just resit them later in life having learnt your lesson to work hard before. You'll get some flak from parents and teachers, but if you're not paying for school it's not much of an issue. If you are, well, tough shit.

No that´s just poor neutralization technique (common among people who are aware that they are breaking an social code or law, eg criminals) and them trying to rationalize why they cheat...
