Have you ever cheated on a test?

Everytime theres a test I cheat and havent been caught since second grade they gave me a detention

 

In middle school, hell yes.

I was dropped off at school 1 hour early (when I lived with my grandparents), because my grandmother didn't trust me to always go to school -- smart woman -- and this was to make sure I did. If I knew I had a test that day, I'd sneak past our high school coach, who would round up the early arriving students into the cafeteria, and hang with the teacher. I'd always say I had some homework to catch up on, and they were fine with this. I'd even make up some bullshit questions to ask them, to reinforce my sincerity. Eventually, they would leave to go do hall duty (which is when the teachers stood at designated areas, to make sure no one was getting into trouble, basically) as kids got off the buses. I'd have about 5-10 minutes alone, and this is when I'd crack open their planner, making sure to trace over the answers with some thin printer paper and a pencil.

I would never always get 100%, that'd be too suspicious. I'd aim for high 80s to low 90s, mixing and matching.

That is how I passed 6th grade Mathematics.

In the middle of 7th grade, I was placed in a homebound program (I was a bad kid). Once a week, for about 2 hours, a tutor would come to me and collect my work. I'd just have my grandmother or other relatives do my work, by pretending to not know the answer, and them working it out with me. Eventually, they'd get so tired of wasting time, they'd do it for me after a few problems together, just to get it over with. Sometimes my tutor would.

In the 12th grade, I had to pass Geometry to graduate. I had a very, very low grade. I had to make a 90 or higher to pass with a D. But I was screwed, because we had to take the test during the class. I was in a class with primarily freshmen and sophomores, who took their test on a different day than me, since it was our Final. I was to take tests when the seniors were scheduled. I sat there in the class, just racking my brain about how to pass. None of my classmates, who had already done their own tests, were going to want to do math. Then, I had a brilliant idea.

I told my teacher it was difficult to concentrate, because I was the only one taking a test today. My teacher told me it was okay, and she gave me a hall pass to go to the guidance counselor's office to take my test. I thought to myself, when I get this pass, I'm darting off to somebody I knew who did Mathematics like it was nothing. But that idea got shot down, when my teacher said she'd have someone go with me, to make sure I got there. I thought, well, I could probably strike a deal with whoever it was. No, that possibility crumbled when I saw it was her student aide. He was kind of an asshole, and I knew he'd snitch. He and I walked to the guidance counselor's office, and I felt like an inmate on death row. All I could think of was, why am I trying to find an opening? I'm just delaying the inevitable.

Once I reached the guidance counselor's office, the student aide left me with the guidance counselor. While it was quieter there, I knew I was fucked. I couldn't make a 90%. I was about to have an aneurysm trying to figure something out, when... she told me it was her lunch break, and she'd be gone for about 45 minutes. She told me to just stay there, and don't let anyone in. She left, and I waited about 5 minutes, to make sure she didn't come back. I then took her hall pass, and raced to the class I needed, and told my associate my situation. He agreed to do my test (I told him to get a few wrong even), if I did his History Final. We switched Finals, and when the guidance counselor came back, she thought I was still doing my Final. When the bell rung to change classes, I made the Finals switch again, and turned mine in.

I passed, with exactly a 90%. He wound up getting a 100%.

To provide a follow up. I wound up telling that teacher three years later, when my younger sister graduated, and she laughed. She told me, it was fine. She knew I was smart in a lot of things, like finding loopholes, as opposed to Math. I was kind of expecting her to be disappointed.

 

Only one time, and it was for an extra credit question for a test in jr. high. A fellow classmate caught me, but he didn't rat me out. I'm a bad cheater, so why try?

 

I cheated a whole lot on my College Algebra tests.

I'm like really ashamed, but then I don't care. Like I didn't have to cheat, but I didn't want to do my work cause it was at the end of my school day.

Also, I didn't get caught.

 

No , I just studied I didn't need to cheat I was an A student in high school and college

 

I have always been a 'good girl' in school, but this year my friend and I were giving 0 :***: about a class.

So in our science class, we had a big final. We hated our teacher (every one did), so we didn't care about the class. The teacher was really lazy, never graded anything, and yelled at us when we aren't 120% quiet. :tantrum:

End of the year. One test left to go. There is a sub. We have notes. My friend and I collaberated on the test. We both got A's. :eusa_danc

I guess it isn't really cheating, but the school I went to was really strict with cheating. Like, you would get expelled if you cheated. It was really fun, mostly because we were going behind my teacher's back, when he had been a rude and disrispetful teacher all year.

Yeah, Ima goody two shoes :lol:

 

i always ended up sitting beside the nerd in grade 6, and honest to god i would take it all back if i could, but the nerd had the biggest crush on me and you could imagine what happened.

 

yes all the time...from high school through college x.x

 

Not really, I occasionally tried during a physics test, but whatever I would write on my arm and cover it with the sleeve of my pullover, I'd never need either because I learned it just by writing it down, or because those formulas were not part of any of the questions.

 

I don't cheat, because it's just setting yourself up for even greater failures. If you cheat all through middle school, you won't have the correct foundation to go onwards in to high school, forcing you to cheat again there. And then when you're an A student, you get accepted in to a good college, and you know barely anything because you didn't bother to learn it in school. So you go onwards being a phony and cheating your way through med/law school, and by some miracle never get caught, and become a doctor or a lawyer. But you can't cheat at that. Your incompetence gets someone killed or convicted improperly, and you get your license revoked or disbarred. And then you have to buy a hot dog cart and stand in the street selling greasy foods for a living.

And that's why you should just study for the tests, and if you fail, that means you weren't meant to make it anyways.

 

Ouch. Harsh, but true.

 

+ 1

and in grade school. I was actually "low A" in high school due to some upheaval, to say the least.

In grade school, a few friends were definitely looking over my shoulder to get answers, for some reason I didn't care, and I ignored that it was happening. If they couldn't remember Lake Titicaca for a fill-in answer, then they probably needed some help.

In college, two friends (read: acquaintances) wanted to cheat off of me. "Here, sit in the diagonal chairs on the left side of the classroom and we'll sit next to you." I didn't say anything. Passive aggressive, perhaps. I walked into the classroom, sat down, and then moved elsewhere. I had studied for that final. I aced it. These two people barely got a C on the final, and got Cs in the class. Being part of a scheme to cheat would have jeopardized my solid A standing going into the final and possibly my scholastic situation in the academic unit in the university. They were pissed at me and didn't speak to me for a while. Can you believe that??? I thought "fuck them."

Well, "fuck them" was indeed the frame of mind to have. I reconnected with both of them on Facebook. One of them is now a housewife 1,500 miles away, she went all Romney on me, and we had a flame war. I thought about what happened in college and was so happy I didn't take the risk of cheating for what wasn't even much of a friendship to begin with.

Exactly. If it's not meant to be, it's not meant to be.

 

Ok this is the honest to god truth i never have studied for anything in my life so I have never not cheated on a test :lol:

 

I plead the 5th (no joke.)

 

I can't think of a time. Maybe once, but never off of others.

I was the designated person to cheat off of all throughout primary and secondary school. It never bothered me because I was going to get my rightful grade regardless. It wasn't as though not studying the content wasn't going to catch up to them eventually anyway.

 

Omg people cheated off me too , but they weren't smart about it the teacher would catch them and tell them stop looking at her paper . I even thought a few people who were confused during algebra class that the teacher made me go around and start teaching people even the kids that hated me would come up to me and say can you explain how to do this . I helped everybody past that class thanks to me no one was left behind

the closes I ever came to cheating was in Japanese class my friend and I came up with a system like when we were doing kanji test ( japanese symbols they would have the word in English and we would have to write the symbol ) and if we forgot the stroke order we would count the number of strokes and remember . My friends trick was he wrote it on his hand the number or strokes . My trick was weeks before end when I wrote the symbol I would count it and remember the English word and when I forgot I would start counting and remember and be able to write it out . I later thought the trick to my friend we always passed using that trick work great on Huge symbols too

 

Actually my high school econ/american history teacher let us cheat on all the tests if we did our homework.

 

I'm not sure if anyone cheated off me, but I remember I used to help the other kids with their homework, although I never gave them the answers, I would help them realize the steps. The teacher for math would have me go around and help the other students while he did the same thing with the other ones. I used to be a teacher's assistant for kids in a lower grade than me too, and I got to teach a dyslexic girl how to read, which was pretty cool. I also had japanese class, and I was terrible at Kanji. Why do the japanese need three alphabets?
