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
