-- Exam cheating tactics...
Pages (3): « 1 2 [3]

Cheating? I don't think there are many people who didn't cheat at least once in high school....everybody does it.

Methods for cheating:
* Writing notes/quotes/formulas on your hand, arm or leg
* Taking a peek at somebody else's paper
* Whispering answers (very risky, must have ignorant teacher)
* Hiding notes inside pencil case
* Getting the answers off someone in another class who did the same
test
* Writing notes on the desk before the test starts

I have heard of more extreme cases of cheating like sneaking into the exam room and taking the paper before the quiz/exam....

hehe those were the days.....

We had to use TI-83's at school, and for every subject apart from maths they made us clear our memory. At uni we are not allowed to bring any calculator that allows you to enter text.

Yay a fallacy of presumption!!!

Anyway if we're talking about cheating, my advice is to not have any evidence with you when you're doing it at university. So if you get cought you have a better chance of proving you didn't do it.

Wear a baseball cap with the vozor somewhat low over your face and sit next to the wall in your lecture hall next to your friends or next to some really nerdy people.
Now tilt your head so that the vizor is covering your eyes from the TAs.
Meaning if you shouldn't be able to see a TA's face in this position, especially easy because you only have one direction to worry about.
Now hold your head still and only swivel your eyes to look at another person's paper (dont move your body because movement draws attention).
Make sure you listen for TAs movement, you don't want someone coming up behind you on the wall side and catching you.

lmao at all the anti-cheating moralists

seems like you people in america/canada/australia/big countries take college/university 30 times more seriously than us

i don't really cheat, not cause of the morals, but cause i'm a bit too afraid of getting caught, and cause i'm not good at cheating anyway. but if i get the chance, why not?

you go to a exam when you haven't studied enough. you get the chance to look at someone who has the right answers, will you not take it cause you feel you need to learn the hard way? please

You got a point here. I admit to cheating at times at uni, I did the same at high school and before. People do that just to help them pass the tests/exams. I usually write myself little paper sheets with things before and write things off them when the teacher isn't looking. Once I was said to be a very clever person because I managed to cheat even at most dangerous teachers who knew most of the ways.

Here if they catch you cheating, they just throw you out and discard your exam, but you're free to come back next time the exam takes place. But cheating at uni level is not really like cheating in high school, because you really do have to know the subject you're taking the exam on, and a cheat sheet is only some sort of a reminder. But we also have oral exams, so even if you manage to cheat on a written exam, once you get to the oral part you do have to know the subject.

I have it exactly the same as you. At oral exam cheating is possible only when you're preparing in one room and the examiner is asking others in the other one, but that hardly ever happens.

so far no methods impressed me :-

heres wat ive been upto

1) my fav method has been to leave a friend the textbook or notes for the exam i am taking and if i dont know nething then i just sms him the question and he tells me the answer ..

2) Ask the teacher for a restroom break and then run to the lab to look up the slides

3) Write down the questions u dont know on a piece of paper request a restroom break and go down to the department and get the question solved.. this works best for those bastard math papers

now go get those A's

Those could never work.

SMSing a friend the question? Obviously phones, etc. are banned from exams. Asking for a break and then running to the lab/a friend to get answers? Not likely. Here you get escorted by an invigilator to the bathroom and then back to the exam room. So unless you know a friend who can give you all the answers you need in about thirty seconds and hide in a bathroom stall for three hours (make sure you know which bathroom they'll take you to, also) you're shit out of luck. What kind of schools do you guys go to?

i study in rochester .. obviously it seems we still have freedom of trust over here ... havent had a professor who bans cell phones from exams or gets someone to escort u to the toilet ... i guess ur schools got wise

may be its just canada and some other countries that are all strict and crap.

I do this thing for exams...

it's called sitting your ass down and studying.

It works wonders.

The english sytem is very strict, for an exam which counts for anything they will sit you down in a hall on a desk at least 1m away from any other, mobile phones are taken away, bottles of water have to have the label off. They have 4/5 people wadering around the room at anyone time and you can't look round to see where they are. If you are caught cheating they will simply through you out of the exam and rip your paper up.

They havn't got wise to text input calculators though, and some dyslexics (sp?) are allowed to write exams on laptops in a differnt room. My friend who has had that a couple of times said quite a lot of the time the invidyulator will sit on the other side of table from them. It was his own laptop he was working on so he could easily browse his files for the relevent notes/eassys that he had on his hdd.

Reminds me of my last ever A Level, was Politics and due to another (more important lol) exam we were all in the private study room. Anyway half way through the exam I realise I�d forgotten to hand my phone in at reception as I normally did before my other exams because they were in the hall. I went pale, ran a cold sweat and nearly fainted. I tried to turn to slip my hand in my pocket and turn it off but every time I tried one of the invigilators would suddenly decide to walk past my seat. I spent the rest of the exam praying the phone would not ring.

England seems to be well strict compared to other countries with exams. If you get caught, or suspected, of cheating in an external exam not only will they tear up your exam, but all the results from that particular exam board will also be struck off and in serious cases all your exams. Cheating in internal exams on the other hand is fair game...teehee
