When I was in school it was a really bad thing to cheat ona test.I mean you could cheat on homework and class work but to cheat on a test it was the worst lol..
My brother was telling me that a bunch of students got caught cheating and it made me laugh but he says they are getting suspended.
I remeber cheating when I was in school but I never cheated on a test..How about you?

cheating!!!! this was my favourite thing to do. There were almost no test in my school without cheating unless the teacher for the test it tooo strict. But it was really fun in those school days. We use to find out ways to cheat in exams as well by writing important thing in the calculator by a pencil and even i use to keep papers in my socks.. hahaha. Those were the best days of my life. We had fun i wish those days could come back.

I do recall trying to cheat on a test in high school. Wrote the answers on my hand but had an awful time looking at my hand without the teacher seeing me. The answers were actually wrong. This is what I got for not studying before the exam. I did try to sneak a peek at the student sitting in front of me and see what he had as an answer. Only problem was the guys around me were taller and I couldn't see over their shoulders. I got through high school by the seat of my britches. Was not a good student but did graduate with my class. Didn't go to college right out of high school but instead waited a few years.

I used to cheat all the time in biology! I hated biology I found it so boring and I never bothered to listen in class, so when it came to the test I knew hardly anything so I would sit next to someone who knew and I would copy them, I didn't care if I got caught or got a zero mark because I hated the subject and I didn't care if I failed or passed. I never did get caught, it was wrong to cheat I know and I am only cheating myself but it didn't matter because it wasn't a subject I needed when I left school!

I cheated once in Junior High because a big group of people wanted to cheat, so I did it with them all. Who do you think the teacher was the most disapointed in? He knew I did not need to cheat, and couldn't understand why I was doing it. I told him it was not really my decision it was pear pressure, he told me I was better than that, and to not be afraid to be an individual. Told me I didn't need to conformt to be liked. That was pretty cool of him actually.
I also put a formula on my shoe once in college, I could not remember it to save my life and knew it would be on the test, so I put it on the side of my tennis shoe, terrible I know. Other than that I never really cheated.

I've definitely cheated on a test, plenty of times. I used to cheat in one of my science classes a LOT. We used to have a test every class the last term of the year and me and my friend used to switch papers and get the answers from each other. Fortunately, we never got caught. I'm still in college and still cheating sometimes. :D I mean, it's not something to be proud of, but yeah, I do it.

hi friend
I never cheated in the test,but generally when i attempt for a test the people around me starts looking at my paper for getting answers from my paper.When i wrote my 7th exams the people around me saw my neuron figure from my paper.From then i decided not to see or even not to show my paper to any one else.If any body forces me to show my paper,then and there itself i straightforwardadly complaints to my teacher or invijilator around me.

No I haven't. I would be afraid of getting caught. Not to mention I don't think I'd be to happy with myself. I'd rather pass on my own merit. I think that would be easier to live with.

I used to! All for fun! in usual class tests it is common! But great days were those. Some of the bad incidents have also happened like the one you have told here, It hurts in that case. Staffs try to teach students a lesson or try to be strict in that case.

To be honest, I did try to cheat once but somehow, it didn't happen... That was during my university years. I had to take a Differential Equation (an extended mathematic subject) final test and that was a subject that I didn't really understand as it was too complex for me.
So the night before the exam, I started to write notes on papers that I was going to use during the exam. I wrote it lightly so that one look nobody would notice that I had something written there.
I walked into the exam hall with a nervous feeling. I was hoping that the questions that came out would be close to the notes that I had. Then as we were seated, the lecturer announced that we could only write the answers on the papers that would be supplied by him. No answers written on any other paper would be accepted! All I could say was, "no way!" to myself!
Therefore, I did not get to cheat, I could not answer the test questions as I didn't really understand the subject and finally I got a "D". That was my first and only "D" in my schooling life!
Anyway, I had to repeat the paper the next semester and this time I was able to understand the subject better and I managed to get a "B".
That was my experience on trying to cheat on a test. Cheers!

No I have never cheated on a test. I thought it was a very dishonest work to cheat in any exam. I used to study very hard so that I can answer every question. So most of the time, I used to find almost every question common. In each exam I used to get satisfactory marks. So my teachers were very pleased with me. My parents also were very pleased in my exam results. I think nobody should cheat in any test or exam.

I cheated once in 6th grade, because I didn't have time to study for my spelling test and was a straight A student in spelling. I got caught, so I never did it again. I was lucky he didn't fail me for the year. It taught me, that cheater will get caught. It is a bad thing.

I am not known for cheating. But when i was in high school there was a time when the answers are just in my face. SO i started to cheat. But it was actually a scholarship test and i was caught, an instructor just got my name. Now, i don't cheat anymore, Just imagine all those times the people around me are cheating and they have not been caught and i did it only once and i was caught. That made me a cheater just like them after all. You will always be tested, and in the hard times, your true color will be shown. When i became a Christian, i really tried not to cheat nor to be cheated on. I cover my paper always and submit my papers immediately so no one will ask for my answers.

Yea I've cheated but not on tests, I usually copy homeworks cause I'm really lazy doing them. Cheating on exams are not really that good cause if you get caught the consequences are huge. I think most people have cheated on school but not on exams. :)

well there are a large number of students cheating on a test who dont work hard on their homeworks instead they spend most of their time on playing compter games
so when the exam is here they arenot able to answer the questions if your mark cannot get 60 you'll learn the same course next year so the guys do copy their's and the book

I always take exams on my own, without any way of doing intellectual dishonesty, as they call it.
But on homeworks or some school tasks that can be taken home, its a different view. Most of the time, I could answer by myself, but sometimes when my brain isn't pumping I ask others for answers.
