Most students worry too much about examinations. If given a choice, they would have preferred to go to school which does not administer any test. However, it has been the practice of the educators to give an examination to evaluate how far the students have understood the lessons.
Some students seem to be indifferent whether they will pass or not. But deep within them, they have the yearning to pass even if they are lax with their studies making them to do cheating.
Cheating is not good. However, many have employed this technique in order to succeed. Our instructor ironically said,"Cheating is good if you are not caught." Supposing you have the art of "safety cheating". But does the accomplishments of being a cheater uplift the individual in the end? What can you say about this?

Cheating isn't a way to succeed. It's just a way to get by. If all of your tools for cheating were taken away, surely you would not succeed anymore.

actually for me cheating is not a way to become a successful one but it is just a part of student's life on how to succeed...we, all of us, experienced cheating and i cannot say that no one had cheat even how intelligent and brilliant you are...cheating? well, we can't avoid that..it's already a part..but it can't be an instrument to become successful..
cheating is like stealing just what others say and so, stealing is a crime and against the law, therefore cheating is also against the law...but nowadays students define cheating positively..

Maybe there were some people who became rich because of cheating. Cheating in exams might be a simple kind of cheating but once you are already doing it all the time, you might also cheat in the other way. Example are criminals. They cheat to other people just to get their own interest. I think cheating should be eliminated and teachers should be strict enough in examinations. This matter should not be taken for granted because everything start in school. This manner will not make a person to be better. This will only lessen his/her integrity which cannot be replaced by any high grades or even riches in this world.

cheating in examinations is synonimous to cheating yourself..you are there to learn...so what have you learned if what you usually do is cheat? you know what? teachers who really care tend to be strict during examination...because they really want to evaluate the students if they've learned from them.......teachers only want the best for the students....that's why cheating is prohibited since the future of the said student lies in his/her capacity....his knowledge of his so called field of specialization
