Poll: Have you ever cheated on a test?

[blankedboy]

Ye, maths formulas on my caluculator bit obvious but hey :/

I cant remember tham that well

Our calculator's had a letter function, and we were each assigned a specific calculator. In addition to leaving each notes for each other, I would type in instructions for how to do things before a quiz.

Theorems and that sort of thing as well.

Ugh, in the NCEA exams they wipe your calculators before you go in so you can't do that. It sucks.

Well sort of. In university the lecturer basically told us the answers. Or at least came very close to. She had written the test that year due to complaints from students in the past that the tests (which were multiple choice) had more than one right answer, or even no right answer at all.

I also cheated on an IQ test once, but I think that just means I'm smart.

 

[Sister Jaxs]

Not gonna lie I have. It kinda amazes me how innovated some people are when it comes to cheating.

 

[Amy Sorel]

...by clicking no i just did.

It wasn't a serious test, just an end of unit a while back. The question I copied was 'Which kingdom produces it's own food?' my friend had put China. So I copied. He then changed and I look like a right fool. The correct answer is of course Plants.

See, if you had just known that China wasn't a monarchy, you could've realized your mistake!

But yeah. I've cheated on all kinds of tests, including one that made up 54% of my grade. Of course, cheating is a lot more work in such situations, since everyone has differently ordered questions, each with different variables. Still, if you're unsure how to go about a problem and the prof isn't bothering to watch the room, it gets tempting to see how someone else went about their own solution, then use that method to solve your own.

Damn it, they probably do that for regents exams too. I wanted to see if I could program it to do cool stuff beforehand. You know, make the test a breeze, that kind of thing.

My only kind of "cheating" was memorizing some stuff minutes before the test, getting the test paper and instantly writing all stuff on it, so I can remember it on the long run.

By using my long hair, I brush it to the front of my face, lean a little on my hands to the side, and look through the strands at the person next to me.

I have also tried the, just fixing my bra, oh look answers method, when its known that the teacher makes impossible tests and calls them easy. It's better than being in the majority who failed it and have to ***** about their grade the next day.

 

[CarpathianMuffin]

Surprisingly, I haven't. Mine were cheated off of many a time without any of my doing, but that's it.
On homework, I have. Many times. I take tests seriously though.

 

[binvjoh]

I've glanced over someone's shoulder a couple times, but never any major cheating.

 

[Lineoutt]

Everytime when it's humanly possible.

Exactly what this guy said.

OT: Cheating on things like tests is really not unmoral in my opinion. No one gets hurt and you get happy parents.

 

[Fusioncode9]

Sometimes when I don't know the answer, I might glance over at the person sitting next to me.

 

[emeraldrafael]

I remember I did once (well, more then once, but this one time I felt particularly smart) cause I didnt want to fail the test since i was bordering on a C that semester so I made holes in my desk of the answers (it was multiple choice scan tron), equivalent to what the answer was in Braille. So I only had to run my fingers along the underside of my desk to know the answers.

Its actually something of a legacy at my school, since kids still do it today. My friend nicknamed it "The Blindman's Touch" so thats what its still called at my highschool. If you're good at it, you can do it for every test, and since they dont change the tests at my school the more answers someone pokes into a desk the more tests you pass.

 

[Beryl77]

Yes, I have cheated. I have sometimes written chemistry/math/physics formulas in my calculator or just the classic crib.
In highschool I've seen the most awesome way to cheat. We had a french vocabulary test and one of my classmates copied the words on a big sheet and made the words big too. Then before the test, when the theacher still hadn't come in, he put it up on the ceiling. The ceiling wasn't a normal one, it was slanting. the ceiling was lower above the teachers desk and towards the end of the room it went higher. This way the teacher didn't really see the sheet. Everyone was looking up at the ceiling and pretended to be thinking. The whole time the teacher didn't notice anything. I guess it's needless to mention that everyone got really good marks on that test.

 

[reiem531]

Chemistry test 2 years ago, had to memorize a bunch of formulas and crap so I just put them on a small piece of paper and had it in my pocket the whole time.

 

[bassdrum]

The one time that I've EVER cheated was on a Latin vocabulary quiz... which I failed anyways. I've been tempted to a few times, but I adamantly refused to even glance over at the tests of those sitting near me. I've earned all of the grades that I've ever earned, and the one time that I compromised my standards I got bitten in the ass for it.

I'd rather get a C that I earned than an A or a B that I got from someone else's hard work.

 

[bdcjacko]

yes i did

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Really depends on what is considered cheating. Some people considered the fact that I could program my calculator to do some pretty long and complicated math formulas cheating, while others (like my trig teacher) said that if I have the ability to do that, then I'm fair to use it. Regardless, I have stored information in my calculator and used it to look back at during a test.

 

[HeySeansOnline]

I do cross cheating in my Trig class, I need a good grade but have trouble grasping some concepts. Same with the other kids at my table. So we trade answers, not especially proud of it, but I tend to learn more that way other then when I actually study and try.
