What will you do if you're caught cheating? Will you consistently and firmly deny it, or will you admit it and face the consequence?
I think it's so shameful to be caught cheating in any form that's why I don't want to take the risk. I never engaged in such activity. I would rather fail an exam than to cheat because I don't enjoy something I didn't work hard for.

Just ask yourself one question. Would you want a doctor to do surgery on you if he or she cheated on thier exams in college? I wouldn't. I don't cheat, I take the grade that I deserve. If you study, it really does pay off. I'm a single mom going to college and taking care of a 4 year old. If I can do it anyone can do it. Just study.

That's very true. I cannot trust someone who cheats. Some of my former classmates are now successful professionals but I doubt if they truly are. Because for some reason, I've lost my trust in them knowing that some of them are very good cheaters way back in high school, and they can't take away that doubt in me anymore. For me, once a cheater, always a cheater.

I would never be caught cheating because I DON'T cheat. It's shameful. Even if I cheated and got a good mark and no one found out, I'd always know that I didn't deserve it because I didn't actually pass based on my own merit.
Sure, no one else knows. But you'll always know that your mark wasn't honestly earned.

Hehehe... too bad, not in your expectation. I never got caught cheating. I rarely did it when I was in school, but if I wasn't ready for exams, I would write down the some keys on my thighs, or my belly. Sometimes I used a plain paper too. but it's too risky.

I would not cheat although the book is placed in front of my desk, there are some friends looking my exam. So, the teacher has caught me and my friends then place me in their office. My friend ordered to stand in front of the class by lifting one leg until the lesson ended. I don't like my work has stolen by my friends, I studied in much day to do exam.

When I was in college I remember once in an exam I was so tempted to cheat because I did not revised all the chapters then when I wanted to lean back and ask a friend, I heard someone shouting at a person, I turn to see, it was the supervisor who was scolding a boy in front who was cheating, I was so afraid that I did not cheat at all and till today I prefer to abstain from this. Even if I would have been caught then I would not have denied like the boy but I would have accepted my fault.
