I was surprised when my nephew asked me this question this morning. "I know you are clever when you were at school. Grandma told me that you always became best at the class, but have you ever been cheated?"
Of course I did. I did it in some occasion. I have no reason why I did the things. I just feel so weak and not sure about what I had been studied the night before. I never sorry about the cheating. At least I know that even the best student in my school still cheated at that time, so why not I? I never got caught by teacher or friends when I did it.
Now I realized that being number one is an effort. So, I don't cheat anymore. Never again. The fact is the more honest I am, the more I can measure my capability.

I can't say that I don't cheat on my school exams, until now actually. I just don't do it as much as I can. I really try to review if there's an exam, I only have myself to depend on, right? I hate people who are so used to cheating or students who don't really try to review and depend on others. They are so irresponsible.

Of course YES. In my school days I experienced cheating but it was very seldom. I have a lot of friends in the class and so I was bound to like them just for fun. Lol.
I have known someone like graduated 'MagnaCum Laude' and we knew he also cheats and he mean it. You know, people are just human beings and there are times that our mind feels tired and you have to do the last resort!

i guess every student has cheated, one way or another, during their elemerntary or high school days. I'm not a hypocrite to deny that little fact about me. I cheated once, twice or thrice during exams at school. the first time i did it, it was not because i didn't study but because i was just curious and tried it together with my classmates (not alone!). good thing we weren't caught by our teacher then. i think it's a aprt of every student's life at school. and it's really nothing to be ashamed of nor something that one should be proud of.
of course, i won't advise students to cheat nor tolerate the act of cheating itself, but if you (students) do, just for the heck of it, never make it a hobby or else, your future will be in big trouble. education is very important and cheating is never a guarantee that you'll finish your studies. truth is, cheating is a bad practice.
