I've been reading a lot in the press lately (UK) about rising exam cheats, I think it was found that 50% of oxbridge undergrads had admitted to cheating when questioned, and lots of diferent cases from other UK universities. Many techniques most of which seem fucking retarded.

Just wondering if any totseans have cheated in exams or essays (this seems to be the most common form of cheating - using essay papers downloaded from the Internet).

Some methods seem so good I might even consider cheating in an exam or two myself.

When I was in high school I cheated in most tests, allot of exams. Almost everyone did. Out of a class of 30, about 28 would be cheating. (in French at least). Every other subject, only one or two cheated in. French kind of became the generally accepted class for cheating.

I was always overly careful, put allot of time and thought into my methods. In the French exams we were always given French dictionaries. So prior to the exam, I stole one, cut out a page, and re-printed it with my own text. Formatted it so it looked like a standard page. When I was in the exam, I did the ol' switcharoo, and got an A.

The worst thing about that exam was when I looked over at one of my friends. Here I was sitting there, smug as hell at my work. Then I look over to my right, see my friend pull fucking 3 pages of A4 out of his pocket and start copying. He looks over at me, gives me a thumbs up and keeps going....son of a bitch...

Math/science:
In my school those gay stretchy wrist bands were a huge fad. Everyone wore them, like 4 on each arm. Shit was ridiculous. I never wore them, but when it came exam time...

I got a nice plain one, stretched it out a little, then wrote some formulae on them. When I let the band retract to normal position, the text just looked like a single blue line. Stretched out though, a beautiful plethora of equations.



I sort of cheated in an English exam, smoked some opium prior to the event. Man my creative writing was awesome.

that was pretty funny

anyway, ive never cheated in the conventional sense of either sneaking in notes to a test or plagiarising, but in history and english, i would cheat by making up about 80% of my quotes and sources in an essay. hell, we were requires to read a related text of our own choosing. i just made it up on the spot. got a good mark as well

though theres this filipino nigger i knew got caught cheating in the final exams. im not sure what happened to him though

Never actually cheated in any important exams. Despite my general laziness I never need to as when it is exam time I actually become a hard worker and learn most of the shit in a week.

However I used to cheat a lot in plain old class tests just to avoid harassment from the teachers. Especially french, damn french. That is one of the ones I should have cheated the exam in lol.

In high school, we cheated on math tests a fair bit. We would do the math and pass calculators to each other as we needed the answers to different question.

The best cheating that I've ever seen was done by a girl; she used to write on her thighs, then pull up her skirt to read the answers.

I cheated on everything in high school. I'm smart already but I hate studying. Pretty much everyone who knew me well considered me the best cheater in school. Most shit I did was simple, just getting a small paper with notes or answers on it and hiding it somewhere. I'd get bold if I had to though, for example:

My precal final, I needed to get at least an 80 to get a B in the class, and I hadn't payed attention all semester. I knew some of the stuff since you relearn stuff over and over in math, but I didn't wanna study all the things I didn't know. I did have the luxury of sitting next to one of the smarter kids in class. Our teacher gave us different tests though, A and B tests. However, he also gave us both test and answer sheets, and on the answer sheets we had to mark if we had an A or a B test. I said fuck it and went for broke, marking down an A test when I had a B. Then I just copied most of my answers off the kid next to me. When I turned in my test, I subtly turned the test sheet in first, so I could just give my teacher the answer sheet. Got just what I needed grade wise.

I only got caught once, when I was an inexperienced freshman. We had to type out pages of stuff in my computer class, just to practice typing. Then we'd send it in. I was the fastest typist there so 3 of my friends asked me to send them my pages. I emailed it to them and they...didn't change shit. Instead of adding a mistake or two, they left it exactly the same and turned it in. The teacher figured it out, obviously. She called us all back to my desk and had me open one of the files, which led to this exchange between her and my friend:
Teacher: Yeah, these are all exactly the same. (While holding my friend Taylor's paper).
Taylor: That's not mine.
Teacher: You wrote your name on it. (Pointing out the fact that Taylor was written across the top in fucking gigantic letters).
Taylor: It's not mine.

She didn't buy that. We got 2 days detention, which was actually pretty fun, so it wasn't too big a deal.

I never do plagiarism. I mean just cite and acknowledge him or her and you will be fine.

I cheat a lot, no we as a class cheat a lot during high school. I remember that we cheat almost all of the exams during high school. LOL! In high school I went to a private prep all-boys school so we're all pretty much united so we help each other. If there is an instance when the professor let us check the papers of our classmates, all of us edit our classmates answers. It's quite funny when the entire class gets a perfect score in the exam. Other cheating techniques that some of us do were writing the answers in the legs so that when you cross your legs you can see the answers, inputing answers and formulas in the calculators etc. One time the teacher resets all our calculators before the exam but the good thing is that I brought two. Some teachers are just too lazy and don't give a damn about cheating so they just ignore our cheating.

Nowadays, in college I barely cheat at all but when I've got a chance to look at my seatmate's paper I usually go for it.
I just cannot imagine a person can go through school without cheating even once.

we formed this trust bond between me and 3 people.theres apparently 4 parts on every test.our hand writing are nearly the same.wed switch papers and we'd fill in the answers we know while the other person has no clue on what the answer is.never got caught and got good grades :D

we study on one part instead of 4 total part.;)

One of my classes is held in a really large lecture hall (the kind where you're breathing heavily by the time you climb up all the stairs to the top) so cheating is extremely easy if you're sitting near the top. All you'd have to do is take out your papers when the prof isn't looking (or on the other side of the room for that matter) and start copying.

Duirng our last test in that class I went into my bag for an eraser and I noticed just how simple it would be to slip out a few papers and put them under your test.

Not to mention the class didn't even take up a fifth of the entire room, so everybody was spaced out and probably wouldn't have noticed/cared anyway.

I cheat when I can easilly do so. I have an HP 49g that has an SD slot that I can use to read text files from. My old TI-92 was better at rendering fonts, but this has expandable memory capacity.

Why cheat? Exams are hard enough. No engineer is going to be asked to solve a complex and important problem without being given more time than 10 minutes to solve it.

Get to know your peers in your class, then work as a team to text message the answers to each other. 3.85 GPA after our 2 years of studies:D New Jersey community colleges are too easy:rolleyes:

In high school, the good ol' TI-83+ was the calculator you would use from Geometry to AP Calculus. I became best friends with the Program key, and just transferred typed notes from my computer to my calculator. Worked wonders on tests, ended up passing every math class with at least a 93.

Sorry guys, I was banned for a few days too. Here's the story:

TL/DR?

GET FUCKED. :mad:




So I'm a 9th grader in my honors English class. 9th grade is still jr. high in the school I go to. Basically the topic was Shakespeare, Romeo & Juliet specifically, and the quizzes consisted of quotes that we should remember but never discussed in class. Basically you had to memorize who said what without any context for the quotes. So around the third or so quiz, I got this crazy idea to write down the answers on a separate sheet of paper and then give them to my friends who had the same class the period (or two) after I did.

So one of my friends, Chris, who was taking this course had missed a quiz and was making it up outside of class and had this piece of paper in his sleeve when the teacher walked outside to check on him and saw him with the paper. He basically put up no fight (Chris, if you see this, I hope you know that you're a dick) and gave the teacher the paper though he could easily have denied it. She asked him who gave it to him and he mumbled my name. The teacher heard somebody else's name and asked him if it was some other student whose name sounded like mine, but Chris said no, it was me. Basically the next day I get called down to the office for giving this piece of paper to my friend and the teacher, the principal, and Chris are all sitting there. The teacher looks REALLY fucking pissed, so I basically feign remorse and, due to my good behavior and grades prior to this event, get away with it with a warning from the principal.

Then, word spread about what I had done and people started asking me for the answers to the quizzes (fuck they were hard). I thought I could make some good money from this so I started selling entire quiz answers for $2 each, which was nothing, but we were in junior high and I had concerns about propagating capitalism through my actions. Basically this spread further and further until by the second to last quiz I had about 10 people getting answers from me. These were largely people that I trusted (though I had trusted Chris far more), and everything was going pretty well. I got the answers to the final as well, but few people seemed to want them for some abstract ethical reasons. While I was writing down the answers (which people trusted me to get correct since I was pretty smart at the time), the teacher was walking around and I could tell she was paying especially close attention to me. When she was in her seat I'd write the answers down on a separate piece of regular 8.5*11 paper. When she walked around I simply put the thing under my test and took the exam normally (filling in the blanks where appropriate). So about midway through the test, the teacher says "Oh, I forgot to tell you that there is an error with some of your tests and I'll be walking around and checking which of you have it so that you can get the right answers on that section".

It's been a while so that's probably not exactly what she said, but the effect of it was that there would be some flipping over of tests to see who had which. When the first row was finished I became pretty complacent that mine didn't have the error because nobody in the first row had it so I just went back to taking the test normally. I really wanted to hide the paper with the answers but there was no way to do that as the school didn't allow backpacks in class and I didn't have loose clothes on, and just wrapping the thing up and putting it in my pocket would have been more suspicion than I would have liked so I just waited. I was surprisingly calm and when she came over and saw my test she picked it up, revealing this lined sheet of paper with big As, Bs, Cs, and Ds on the page. She showed me where the test was marked incorrectly and I agreed, all the while my heart was racing faster than it ever has, even to this day. There was absolutely no way in hell that she would not see that lined paper and realize that I was cheating again. I tried to get the conversation over quickly by saying that I understood but it seemed like an eternity at the time. Thoughts of what would happen when she finished explaining and put the sheet down on my desk where the paper was lying in plain view were racing through my head. So she just drops the test down on my desk without even looking at the desk and seeing the paper. The spot where it dropped was fortunate and covered most of the paper and I quickly hid it with the speed of a meth addict (because that's how I felt at the moment). This was the only time when I, an avowed atheist, thought that I felt the presence of God, because there was absolutely no way that anybody with half a brain on their body would not see that paper, but it didn't happen and I was overcome with euphoria when I ended the test successfully thanks to this miracle.

I finished the test, and all that was left was to copy the answers down to another piece of paper and sell them. Making two of these would take all next period and leave me without any copies to sell to the period that was taking the exam while I was copying the answers and so I couldn't sell nearly as many. There was also this strange aversion to cheating on the final exam from most of the people I had sold quizzes to, or perhaps it was the high cost. Whichever it was, I didn't sell a single test sheet that day. The term was almost over and things were looking good, it seemed as though I wouldn't get caught for anything else and would have maintained this racket under all of my teachers' noses. Soon enough, word about my "business" spread to one girl who was what secular people in Utah call a "Molly Mormon". Basically, this girl (let's call her "Elizabeth Kralik") told the teacher what I was doing and she in turn took this to the principal. One day in second period, I was called into the principal's office with the teacher and the principal sitting there. The first thing they asked me was "do you know why you're here?" From reading (IIRC) a textfile on this site, I knew that this was the first question that authority figures asked when you got in trouble and I had came prepared. I said that I didn't, and they kept pressuring me to admit it with games of "if you admit to it now it will be better for you". I claimed I didn't know what they were talking about. They told me about the exams and how they knew what I had been doing. One of the first things I asked in response was who told them, but they just told me "we'll be asking the questions". They asked me why I did it, how much money I made, who I had sold the sheets to, and which quizzes/exams this applied to. When they asked me why I did it, I said "I don't know, I think it might have been an altruism to my fellow students to help get them over these difficult exams". So then they called in my friend who was in the same period and sat next to me (not Chris) and asked him if he knew anything about this. He cleverly denied this and claimed that he himself had never cheated either. This is where the real drama started:

The teacher then began sobbing. Through her tears she said "I... I just can't believe that my students would do something like this. I've never had students cheat before and nobody would stoop that low for a good grade or some money." I was legitimately sorry for her, but since this outburst of emotion probably negatively affected my chances for not getting suspended, I tried to act much more sympathetic than I would otherwise and told her that I didn't do to upset her per se. At the same time I was also slightly amused because this teacher who could get very angry in class and was absolutely ruthless about students speaking out of line was here sobbing over something that I had done. I felt a vague sense of retribution and thought that maybe I had showed her not to be such an asshole with her students anymore. The principal sent me outside with a piece of paper and told me to write who I sold these sheets to, what tests I cheated on, and for how much. This was clearly a game of prisoner's dilemma and I knew that I could master it.

While I was writing, a student I knew walked by and asked what I was doing in the principal's office. I responded that I was suspended and to tell *lists names* to deny everything when they get called down to the principal's office. He asked why and I simply answered with "they will know". I tried to keep the names and tests to a minimum and lied my ass off about amounts, but I had to put something down or risk a serious threat to my academic career (which basically was untarnished at that time, in fact, arguably the only reason I'm paying for college at all right now was because of how this situation turned out). I turned in the paper and the principal began calling students into his office. Fortunately I ratted out the right students and they all denied everything, which was very good for them seeing as they received no punishment as there was no evidence. Basically the principal then told me that I would be suspended for three days and would have to have my parents speak with him (and his female vice principal with a German name and what nobody in the school doubted was a background with the National Socialists) when I got back on Monday. I left that room and went to grab my stuff that I had left in my previous class and gather some homework from other teachers. I told one of my friends in that class that I was suspended and to "tell the guys". He asked what I had done and I responded with "they'll know".

On Monday, I showed up at school with my father, who was in turn double teamed by the principal and the VP until I showed up (I had attended classes anyway because just couldn't miss some of them). I came in and my father basically tried to explain this situation away anthropologically by saying that it was a part of Russian culture to help one's fellow people, even if that means breaking some rules. The administration wouldn't have it and told him to discipline his kid and that I wouldn't be accepted back at school for those three days (during which I stayed out of sight of the principal, didn't go to English, and did fine). When I returned to school on Monday, I was greeted with a hero's welcome. Everybody asked what I had done and wanted to know the details. When I returned to my English class, the first order of business was for my teacher to send me to a different seat in the class. One in the front row. Next to the girl who had ratted me out. I had received failing grades for those tests which I had admitted to cheating on and did not receive a reason for my fails on those tests that I did not admit to. I came home later that day and asked where my father was. My mother told me that he was sleeping and I asked why. Turns out he drank himself into a stupor and later told me that it had nothing to do with what I did, which was admirable in some ways, but rather was because that VP (who talked to him for a long time without me, before and after I had come in) was such a bitch to him. He told me that he literally wanted to beat her due to the way she was talking to him. He said it was one of the most traumatic experiences in his life and that he seriously contemplated sending me to another school, despite the fact that doing so would take an hour out of his schedule every day due to transportation.

Failing all the exams gave me an F in the entire class, which meant that I would have to take it again in summer school and then get credit for both courses without effect to my GPA (which was all I cared about then). I had always had A grades on every assignment I turned in and at the end of the year I was pushing my grade up into the high 50s. There was a glut of assignments near the end of the term and I thought that the teacher was trying to get me to turn in as many assignments as possible so that I could get a passing grade in the course. On the last day of school, I checked my grades online and realized that I had pulled off a D-, 60.3%. The teacher handed back the last assignment she had graded and said "nshanin, you passed the class. Good job." To this day I laugh whenever I look at my 9th-12th grade transcript. Every single grade was an A or an A-, with the exception of that one D in English in 9th grade. You look down the list and I'm a typical straight-A student, but for some reason the grades don't stack up with the GPA and it takes some careful searching to find the D-, but it's there. Forever. A reminder.

Did I learn anything? Maybe. Did I have fun? In a way. Do I regret it? I'm not certain. Life is what you make of it.

wow my heart was actually beating pretty quickly reading that. good job that was some fine raging against the machine right there



tl;dr version

nshanin helps friend cheat. friend gets caught. friend rats on him. nshanin starts selling answers. on a test, while collecting answers, teacher checks on his test, but with with extremely good luck, doesnt see the obvious. however, some bitch finds out and rats on him. bitch of a teacher starts crying. dad is summoned. dad is pissed of at the school. nshanin is a hero at school, though gets permanent seat at the front of the class and lived happily ever after

Just wondering if any totseans have cheated in exams or essays (this seems to be the most common form of cheating - using essay papers downloaded from the Internet).

Some methods seem so good I might even consider cheating in an exam or two myself.



I have cheated before, I looked at someone's paper and copied, and I used notes on a note card one time. In the latter of the two I had a hoodie on and just slid the notes out of my pocket when needed in Chemistry. I wanna think tht I looked at someone's paper in Spanish but I know tht can't be right because I don't need help in Spanish, it's usually my best subject so I don't remember what subject I looked at someone's paper.

But I don't usually cheat because I never really have to.

I cheated on one of my Tech Theater tests by programming something in on my TI-84 calculator.

And I cheated multiple times in English class. My teacher would assign a story to read and I didn't read it (I forgot to) and we took a quiz the next day we were in class (we have block scheduling). We graded our quizzes in class, so I changed my answers while we were grading them.

Required classes duh!!! If you can tell me how I can get out of English class then I won't have the temptation to cheat in there. I fucking hate English Class, I mean all we do is learn to write in a creative way and try to find the meaning under the words of stories. WHEN WILL I USE THAT?!?!?! It's gay, and shouldn't really be called English, it should be called Literature class because you're not learning English you're reading literature and trying to find out what it means.

I only cheated in two classes, but that's because I couldn't be bothered to do any real work in school.

A) Journalism: All my stories were made up, and I always used the same "sources" which just happened to be my friends who'd back me up.

B) Spanish: I had this see through water bottle I won at Shaky's that came with a cozy like thing. Well what I'd do is on the computer type up all the key phrases and whatnot that'd show up on the text, using a template I made from testing sizes so that it'd fit perfectly in there. Then during the test I'd use it, taking a drink and turning it so I'd find the needed phrase, also drinking when the teacher'd be coming by during her random checks of the class.

cheated a lot in highschool, all french tests pretty much. its best to keep it simple, just write the answers on a piece of paper in bold type, then place it under the test paper. if its done right you can see the answers right through the paper. if its not visible clearly you can just slide it out when needed and hide it when the teacher is coming.

most bold act of cheating was when i typed an entire essay for a film studies class and then just copied the whole thing during the exam.

also for essay tests you can try to get a hold of the paper that the teacher uses (sometimes they use the longer legal size sheets rather than the standard a-size) just write your entire essay the night before, and during the test just put the premade essay under the blank sheets your teacher gives you, pretend to write your test, then just dispose of the bullshit you wrote to the distract the teacher and hand in the premade essay.

math/physics tests are easy, just copy the formulas a piece of paper and look at it during the test. you can even copy all the formulas onto the test then ditch the cheat sheet. you cant get busted for cheating if you look at your own test.

I went to a private school, and we had to wear uniforms. During my sophomore year, I wrote a whole bunch of notes on the inside of my skirt, then pulled it back to look at the answers. I sat in the back, on the other side of the room from the teacher's desk, so he couldn't see anything. Even if he did, sexual harassment anyone?

Must confess:

Cheated on the SAT. Discussed answers with friends during break, went back and changed them.

In high school I would always read sparknotes and things for English. I didn't, and still don't, give a fuck. And yes, that's still cheating, in my mind.

In college, I cheated on my physics final. Hid an equation sheet in the bathroom. I still got a shitty grade, but I would have failed without it. And I really don't have the money to fail. If my grades fall, I lose scholarship money. I still feel bad about it. In fact I forced myself to not major in physics because of it.

Oh I forgot. This is actually something I'm proud of:

In English my junior year, we had to write all these fucking bullshit 1-page essays. Thing was, they were assigned every couple of days...but we didn't have to turn them in until the end of the semester. And I'm sure you all know how that goes. So anways, I was like "fuck this, I do NOT want to write all this bullshit." And I knew that there was no way the teacher would read 600 journals. So, I was procrastinating as all of my peers were typing away day and night to try and finish this assignment. I knew a few people who went twenty-four to thirty-six hours without sleep, just to type up this crap. Anyways, I stumbled across a web program that employed "grammar-smart" AI to create randomly-generated gibberish. Thing was, it still was completely grammatically sound. So I used this program for almost ALL of the essays, and got full credit! Best part was, we were supposed to "mark" the ones we wanted the teacher to take a closer look at. Ostensibly to get better feedback on our writing. So of course, I put big fat stars on the 3 or 4 essays that I actually did. For the other ones, I fed the question prompt back into the gibberish generator. Thing was, this teacher had a thing for really long prompts. So that made it very, very easy.

here's my above post, put into the generator:

I knew that I actually something as all this programmar-smart" AI to turn the ones, I was prompt back into take a closer look at.

Of course, i had to touch it up a bit so she wouldn't notice "twent twent twent" and all that shit.

Even better:

One time the class was assigned to write a page on something (can't remember what but there was a specific topic). I decided I would write the paper in three languages--Engilsh, Spanish, and Russian--alternating words (grammar was a bitch with this one, but at least I learned something). I also added a small conclusion written entirely with the little bit of French that I knew. My paper ended up being slightly over a page, filling the margins, with my friend's paper (entirely serious) coming in at slightly under a page without writing in the margins. Papers are handed back and my friend gets a B while I get an A. Friend asks why he got the grade and teacher replies with "you didn't fill the whole page". :cool: Jr. High. What a fucking joke!

I laughed at the 14 year old athiest from Utah. Rebellion against Mommy & Daddy much?

Ah, nothing better for misguided cognitive drive than early teenage angst. Nothing comes close.

I never really cheat that much, I've always been the guy that everyone else cheats off of. But I did have a really good one in 10th grade History.

The teachers tests were really hard, but I never had any trouble on them. One day, she left the room about five minutes after handing out the test and I just loudly called out "number one is C, number two is E, number three is A, etc."

I'm not entirely sure what it was but it certainly wasn't teenage rebellion. I've always had a very positive relationship with my parents, even in my teen years.

I cheated a couple of times in middle school/high school (on little quizzes and such), but never in college. Aside from the fact that I'd be cheating myself, most of the exams are well-written, and thus really hard to cheat on. I mean, what are you gonna do? Hide an outline for 12 chapters on your arm? Fake having listened to 30 lectures? It's easier to just study, and if you fail, you take the supplementals or retake the course and deal with it.
