I admit I have cheated on an exam before to pass a class. I had a piece of paper with all the answers written on it in my pocket. I got it out when noone was looking and put it under my other paper. I was pretty sly by doing that way. Noone even knew I had the paper with answers underneath the exam. Whe I needed an answer I would make sure noone was looking a slide my paper to see the answer. I never got caught but I could have if someone saw me. That would have been really embarassing to have the teacher make an example of me in front of the class. I would not reccommend what I did. I relize now cheating on tests in wrong. I don't think I would do it again. I still can't believe I didn't get caught. I know some people write answers on their hands but I think that is to noticable.

I already cheated too. it was a exam to get a discount on a course price. Based on how many right answers you have, they give you a percentage discount. I talked with a friend, who done the test before me and he told me that he used someone else's answers, which would represent a 95% right answer rate. I didn't even think twice. i asked him for this paper with the ready to go answers and I used it. I know I didn't do the right thing but I don't regret what I had done either.

I admit I also cheated on my exams before but I didn't bring any leakage we only copying answers to our classmates. I know it is bad sometimes we can't avoid it because sometimes we forgot what we have studied. All of us been through this process and I don't encourage other that it is ok.

Well, most of us have ever cheated on an exam. My experience in cheating, are with my friend. We both exchange answer in a paper beneath the exam paper. It's also quite amusing that teacher did not found out about that too. But that was my first and last experience...^__^ The feeling when you are cheating, that just scary..LOL. I mean you felt like your hands sweaty, your heart seemed to pump faster. I don't want to do that anymore now..

A big fat yes! Though I'm not proud of it, well it made me what I am today... I remembered all my years on my college days and not a year goes by without me cheating on any exam... I guess I've cheated in MOST of my exams... Was it I'm just good at it or our professors never reprimanded me? Well, I guess both... Good thing I've learned everything I need to know before calling it quits and quitting college! heehee!

I have never cheated by writing the answers on a piece of paper or in my hands. I have asked some of my seatmates though for answers, and they joyfully share it with me. lol. when I was in high school, our class was notorious for cheating, though we never cheated with books and what we call kodigo ( or a piece of paper with all the answers ), we are known for sharing answers, when someone asks and you know the answer you share.. that is our class code. hahahaha. When I went to college though, even if my new classmates are still doing it, I stopped and decided that it's time that I work on my own, cause i have to practice, cause when board exam comes, I can't really rely on anybody else but myself.

hello tuckersheri, i never cheated when i was studying. that's why it took me one year longer to finish my course. i prefer to got failed in the subject than passing but i cheated. at least i don't have a guilt feeling that i passed the course because i cheated.

i do cheat sometimes before. but it depends. when the instructor was not too strict or not watching us then i do try to cheat specially if i don't know the answer or unsure of it. but many times though i don't, cause i am not much grade conscious, as long as i pass the exam i don't bother whatever the score. sometimes i fail but i don't worry cause it does not mean i will fail the subject there are still lots of exams.

I have observed while examination that most of us keep answer papers to write the exam. But I didnt do that yet because I afraid a lot about consequences happens later. But I really feel tense when some one do that in front me. In many case I saw my class mates cached in examination while they cheating in writing exams. But I keenly observe people who have do like that in every examination and thinks a lot why this kind of things happens..

I admit that I cheated on an exam before because I got no time to study and I need to make-up to my grades for me to graduate. But this things happen only twice because i really need to make-up. Well, I fell ashame for the reasons of cheating to my exam.

Well I never did what you did. But also did cheat. We are all like family in our class. We share answers. lol. So when examination comes all of us friends and probably all my classmates will agree to help each other out. It's so fun and thrilling. haha. I also wouldn't suggest it but for me those days are really fun! I miss school now :(

I can't say that I have ever cheated on an exam to pass a class because I never really cared about school much.
