Have you ever cheated on your exams in school? What are your techniques in cheating? Have you ever been caught? Me and my friends cheat. We used to write it in our desks and small papers and stuff it inside a handkerchief. Others will write it in their palms or in their legs where their pants can cover it. I think Most students do cheat and students have their own techniques. LOL. Happy mylotting cheaters! haha..

Yes I'm a cheater when it comes to school by I'm faithful when it comes to my girl. Anyway I don't have any technique when cheating during the exams, just open my notes and look for the answer. Cheating network in our class is good because if the professor is strict we will use cellphones and sending text messages.

What I used to do before the invention of cell phones was to sit next to the smartest kid in class and copy some of his answers. Once I had a cell phone one of my good friends would just text me the answers before class and I would write them down on those little yellow pieces of paper.
Once during middle school I went to the teacher class after school and quickly copied all the answer to the test.(I would not recommend that one) But when you cheat remember don't get 100 percent on your test. (It makes you look suspicious)

Greencard, I think it can be treated as a technique. Cheating in school is okay, but cheating with your partner is awful! hehe..
Sportsnetwork, In our school, smart kids usually don't let other kids to take a peek at their answers. What we do is we'll assign a subject. For example: yours is math, mine's history, yours is etc... and then we'll sit together at the back of the room and then we'll copy each others answers. I think it's the best way to define 'Cheating Network'. LOL.
But we don't always cheat for it will only leave us unknowledgeable. We only cheat if exams are too hard to handle! ;)

I only cheated once. In fact, I was actually trying to help my friend pass. I got caught though. I was trying to pass a paper behind my back and the teacher caught me. I was so scared. I knew it was wrong, but my friend needed help. I made up a lie to the teacher that I wasn't cheating. I told her I was actually trying to copy the problem to take home and get help from my Dad that night. She believed me, because I was usually a good student. I never cheated again.

It's a good thing your teacher believed you. And the fact that you went through all of that makes you a good person because you wanna help your friend to pass. But you can help him in a good way, like tutor him or something. ;)

Yes, I'm a cheater.Ever since I entered third year in high school, me and my classmates have been doing that every exam! And that's because of teachers too. I've never been caught. We just pass answers to each other and sometimes we open books. LOL. It seems hard but it's so easy especially with the teacher. Every time we have exam, there is a proctor that is assigned to us, and she just lets us to peek in our books. But one time, when we had a different proctor, I had a small note hidden in my handkerchief. It's just normal for a student.

I can't say I'm proud of it either. I guess, cheating may come in handy sometimes, but you can't really rely on just cheating forever. It feels better if you passed because you studied. ;)

Hahaha... Yup, cheating is fun when you're doing it with your friends. But remember, cheating won't gain you knowledge. We only cheat if we didn't have the time to study or it is too hard or the professor's too lazy to teach. It still feels better when you passed because you studied. ;)

Hmm, I have never "cheated" off of another persons exam or anything like that, though I frequently accepted payment to let people cheat off of my exam.
There are several people in my High School that swear if it wasn't for me they would have never graduated. I usually helped them study, as well as cheat with their exams, I never wanted to get caught letting them cheat, so I was sure to hang out with them and super secretly sneak the information into their minds, my favorite way to cheat is to teach indirectly, in a way they remember.
Many folks spend all sorts of time and energy on "cheating" I feel that if they applied the same energies to "learning" it would be even easy to succeed.
With Love and Appreciation.

I always cheat in the exams.I see from my friends paper every time.I do this in a clever fashion. No one finds my cheating . Usually you need some tactics to this. All this comes by practice. You should become a professional cheater to do this type of things. Everyone cheats but not in a professional way. Learn from me guys.

Hahahaha. I did cheat back in elementary and high school, but I've gotten over it when I reached college. The thing though is, I don't write answers on a paper or my palm.. I just ask my seatmates for the answers. LOL. In our class, we don't use "kodigo", we just share answers and in the end, we would all have answers on our papers. Hehehe.

MOST students cheat but NOT ALL. Our class is a class wherein there has never been a history of it wherein a student cheated. During exams, we all study and do our best for it. That's why a lot of us got admitted to universities that we prefer. I admit that we sometimes copy others assignments but we never cheated. We are really proud that we graduated from our school with that record. I am proud of it.

Well I have helped cheating in school I myself haven't copied anyone elses paper, but they do look to me for answers. one of the best methods I have to not be suspicous is the number method for example A=1 B=2 C=3 D=4 then use your fingers to display those numbers. If you want to cheat then remember try to find a good postion from the teacher so that you are out of their line of sight. Remember if u dont wanna get caught never talk or just quit right know. Try developing other methods of conveying information.

When I was in Elementary, I can't do any kind of cheating because I was afraid of being caught and send my parent at school. But, when I entered high school I learned lots of techniques on how to cheat especially in exams and quizzes! and it it seems a demon Entered my body! haha..
Some of our are techniques is when you have a dry skin, you can write your answers and share to others by the use of your finger nails only. Another technique is when you lend your liquid eraser, just write your answer on the container of the liquid eraser using a liquid eraser also, and when they are finished copying the answers just scratch the answers by your fingernails. Some of my classmate where very brave! They use cellphones, and ask answers from others. And others, exchange papers, they have such a brave spirit! haha.. :)
Have a good day to everyone!

I am really not that much of a cheater to be honest with you. I am too stubborn and confident in my own abilities to cheat. Plus, I am not exactly a sneaky person. I tend to give away what I am doing a lot of the time. Therefore, I do not really cheat, because I really see no point in it and I really would not benefit all that much. Maybe a couple of points on a test, but really, that is just not worth the time and energy.
However with that in mind, there are a lot of impressive ways where I have seen people cheat. While none come off hand, the lengths some people will go to merely pass a test amuse me. Of course, one could argue the true amusement comes when they get caught. However, very few of them have been caught. So I guess I grudgingly salute the sneaky people in the world and their ability in the field of cheating. Not something that I am a fan of but if you're going to do it, you might as well do it well.

Hi sophie..yes indeed ..I used to cheat a lot during my high school days . I used to stick papers in my scale and right the answers in it . I used to ask answers from my friend in the next desk. I have also been caught many times..But teachers always forgived me . Because I was a quiet student in the class . Sometimes during hard-times ie if i din't know anything. I even exchange answer papers. It used to be very thrilling . I remember those glory days even now . I used to get average marks..but it was fun . Well same to you ..happy mylotiing and have a nice day !
