Cheating is part of being a student, it wouldn't be fulfilling if you didn't do some sort of cheating on exams. I personally did a little cheating when I was in highschool but I was always too afraid to get caught. During my highschool exam, I cheated on my math exam. I just don't like math, it makes my brain bleed. I was lucky before since all my classmates cooperated, imagine we had cheating arrangement, the source would sit on the middle of the class and surrounded by best cheaters or have the sharpest eyes. They copy the answers and show it to the next circle. Lol,good old times. I really miss that one. So far nobody get caught.
How about you, my fellow mylotters, how created are you when it comes to cheating and have you ever get caught? :D

I never cheated and I don't know any friends that did. I'm surprised to find that so many people cheat. If I didn't study enough to get a "A", well then, I didn't deserve an "A". Although, school was always easy for me, even university. I am a fast reader and I remember almost anything. Maybe if I didn't have the luck of being born with such a good memory I might have cheated.

Nowadays many student are trying to cheat in their exams. Yes, I admit that I also cheated, but I only did that twice only. I don't like cheating because I know it is a bad thing to do. And I feel guilty of doing that. Of course you are only cheating yourself if you did that, you get a high score but not because of your own hardship,it's because for the hardship of the other people around you. I remember the last time I did cheating, because of that I thought i'll get caught by my professor. But you know, I also enjoyed that experience..haha, because it was my first time to do such thing like that.

I wasn't comfortable with cheating back in high school and college but I had some minor exceptions. The only time I was comfortable cheating was during my Chinese classes back in high school. Chinese classes were compulsory in my school and I didn't have a background in Chinese and so did most of my other classmates. So we usually placed the answers on our teachers desk when we have an oral exam. One of my classmate then also sticked the answer cheats on the back of my teacher. Well that was my experience back in high school.

I cheat very easily like even on the CST my firneds were asking for answers and i was easily able to give it to them. There is always sign language involved almost every teacher doesnt really care about what students are doing during the test. They always are doing something on the computer or some writing or anything.

I was considered to be among the brightest of my class and so, had every opportunity to cheat my teachers and invigilators during exams.
1. I found that our teachers, while evaluation of the answer scripts, had some chat going on, among themselves. And so, seldom paid attention the sequence of answers. So, I used to repeat the answers, with a different question number. Thus, I always scored above 95% in any exam.
2. If I did not get a clue of starting answer to a specific question, I used to stand, stretching my body, .. and casually talk nonsensically, hinting on of my friends of my trouble. The other would respond in kind, in a moments time. And, teachers/invigilators, thinking us to be bright students, never bothered if we had some little chat.
and so on....
good old times, truly. When I became a teacher, now, it is difficult for anyone to cheat me .. but, i do know of the fun. So, tease my students about such tricks.
Thank you for reminding ...

I never cheated during exams because I knew I'd get caught no matter how slick I tried to be. If I got stuck on a question I just gave my best estimated guess and hoped for the best.

I never cheated when I was taking examinations when I was still studying. But my classmates do and I am going to share it. When I was in college, we were allowed to bring all of our things in the examination room. There's this transparent folder that they bring and they put that folder in front of them with all their notes. They put it at the back of the chair of the student seating in front of them so the teacher wont notice. If was a very good tactic for them to cheat. It might sound impossible that I dont cheat but I never did. As a teacher I also dont want my students to cheat cause I was able to do it and I believe they can too.

Cheating??? Well..it was fun doing "naughty" thing doesn't it? I did it twice during my first year and final year in university because the subject was difficult. Classmates gave their cooperation during exam and that's why nobody get caught. The deal was this. Each student in my class covered one topic and need to supply the info to others during exam day. And, during the exam day, all will pass their "small note" around. Thank God we were not get caught.
But, i remember there was a guy in exam hall had been caught because of cheating the same day i've sitting an exam. He was sitting at the middle of exam hall. I do noticed he keep staring at his hand while writing the answer. Suddenly the invigilator passed by him and noticed something weird on his hand (maybe that time he forgot he wrote something on). I scared that time and the classmates tried to hide all "small notes" they brought. I will never to that again even the subject is difficult nowadays.
