Well i have never tried cheating, i think its really risky. I am going through my mid term exams and day before in examination hall there was a guy who bought chits, and he ended up getting caught by the examiner and his paper was canceled. his friend is such a jerk, he still bought chits in the next exam What about you guys, have you ever cheated or of you caught cheating??

Hello blackeyespeas! I never cheated on exams but I admit I cheated a couple of times in quizzes..hehehe..But I have some bad incidents about exams. I usually too generous in terms of giving my answer even in exams. It's almost time's up but my classmate still copied to my answer and so I let her copy. I can't actually say no. Our teacher saw it and she got our testpapers and put something there. I am glad I still pass the subject..heheh

Yes, I have cheated once in my graduation exams and with those small chits too! Looking back it was definitely a foolhardy thing to do but in those days and in our group, it was so cool to make those microscopic chits and to copy from them and never get caught! I also tried it once, just for the hang of it and though I did not get caught (I was seating right at the back and could see the examiners every movement) it was too risky for me to try again. That was the first and last time.

No. I wanted good grades in school, but I also wanted to know how well I did on my own. It was important to me to know how well I really was doing. It showed me that my hard work was paying off in the end.

I agree, we can never know where we stand, till we do things on our own.

I usually dont read for ordinary exams and almost all my friends including me would cheat during the exam by keeping the book under the desk or exchanging the paper or sometimes the teacher will be well known person and dont do anything even if we cheat but these are only applicable for ordinary exams and for main exams usually everyone has to do the hardwork.

Yes, I've already cheated in some exams. Sometimes we don't even want to cheat but we just look to the person next to us just to see her answers... and it's a temptation not to look when it's easy to do it. I never got caught but as I don't cheat a lot it was a little bit difficult. I had to be very unlucky. I always prefer to study hard to pass my exams. It's always better to be able to do it on your own. You feel you are able to pass with a good grade.

No, I've never cheated on an exam, and I've certainly never helped anyone cheat on an exam. I've never been that type of student. I don't think it's right to do that.

Hi, I think that I've cheated in every exam that I had. But not in all of them, just in those where I didn't study anything or on those who the teacher is dumb. Back in my college days, I think that was more fun to cheat, but then at the university it was a little more difficult.

I always prepare for any examinations so I find it unnecessary to cheat. Luckily, almost all of the time, I always get a passing mark. One of my teachers in high school told us that "if you cheat in exams, you are cheating no one but yourself". He further explained that examinations are supposed to gauge if you have learned something from the class. If you cheat and passed, you are still a loser for ignoring things that you should have learned.

hahaha this is kind a embarrasing but i will tell you the truth i do cheat on exam major exam's in school is so hard sometimes you dont have time to study the subject so i end up cheating. i think most of the students experience this due to we need to pass the exam otherwise its gonna affect our grades. but i dont do it all the time. i also study hard before exam. thanks, and happy mylotting.

I never got caught but I'm a expert at it .For midterms I wrote the answers on gum rapper and passed the exam with a A .I use all different types of methods.You can write on your hand from writing on your inside of your sock or shirt..You can also get the answers on yahoo just type your question that is on the test and you will get a response within a hour period. There are websites that actually have a copy of your exam.

Frankly, I've been cheating when I was in High School...I do cheat when I don't know about the exam and I'm afraid to have low grades. I know its my fault... Anyways, cheating is part of our teenage life, in my opinion. But ofcourse you shouldn't depend on your classmates or friends every exam, you have to review also and its really worth it to get high grades.

I've never cheated. I don't know how. I'd rather flunk the exam than cheat. I don't know what I need to improve upon if I just get the answers from someone else. I wouldn't want to find out that my Doctor cheated his way through med school. I hope everyone would realize that they are cheating themselves when they cheat especially if you're paying for an education. I would like to think that I'm getting something for my time, effort and money.

yes i know i should not say this but i admit that i was a big cheater at my school times but yes only in studies not in sports or any competition even i am caught by the teachers but no problem who want to study if i can get good marks by cheating so why to waste time in studying.............. that time can be utilized by responding to these good discussions and ya thanx blackeyedpeas for creating such a good discussion..

I was caught cheating when i was about 7 years old. it was the times table which i had the worst trouble with at that age and i didn't wanna be the lowest scoring in the class so I cheated. The teacher caught me and i was humiliated in front of the entire class which was worse. That was the first and last time.
