    When I was sitting my business exam today I went to the toilet and the 5th year that went in with me asked me if i have notes in there. I said no and he just laughed and said he didn't care if I did because he'll probably be doing it next year. Seems like it would be really easy to cheat...

    Don't cheat kids you'll only look like a twat if caught and as others have said its of no benefit anyway:cool:

    I think that the examiner thought I was trying to cheat haha. I kept looking at the clock above him quickly to check how my timing was going and he kept looking down at me in the back in a way like, I'm watching you. Ahh well I wasn't cheating so I'm not exactly worried.

    I was a supervisor in TY and I brought this guy to the bathroom and when he came out as a joke I said "Were you cheating?" and he was like "Oh my god how did you know?" And I was like "what?" and he was like "what?"... he was a bad cheater. And it was for religion!

    This is HILARIOUS!!!! :pac:

    I did my LC quite a while ago now but I can't believe the level of cheating that is going on which is being said by the posters in this thread, it's insane! :eek: I don't understand how they can have such dozy and dopey supervisors in these exams. All they have to do is focus for 3 hours, walk around the place, ensure everything is above board - do their god damn job!

    Cheating can ruin the chances of other students with a a college place. If an honest person got 500 points and a cheater got 505, one place left on their desired course - then the cheater will get the honest person's place. It's totally unfair and rotten scumbag behaviour.

    I hope that all you LC students who see some idiot cheating, that you report them either during the exam or after. It's your future at risk.

    It's really more their future than yours... I think it would be pretty mean of someone to report someone who you've gone to school with for 6 years...


  • Registered Users Posts: 253 ✭✭Dr.Evil


    It's mean to cheat someone out of a well deserved place first and foremost. They're ready to dick you over and cheat to get your place, you should be prepared to get them back, they're the ones doing wrong.

    Remember that people tend to exaggerate, especially online; that the odd troll will be stirring it as well.

    That's not to say that I think that the system is perfect, or that everyone is as wide awake as they should be, but the thousands of LC students out there who feel that their supervisor is doing a good job don't usually bother to hop on Boards to post about it! :D

    My fella seems pretty switched on. I mean, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that people have a couple notes scribbled in the pencil case and I know there are people in the other centres bringing in folded up essays, but you couldn't get away with it in mine. He's mad for a few laps of the room at random intervals to break the monotony, and he moves SO SILENTLY you wouldn't know if he was breathing down your neck until you felt it. He's also a total legend, I've become very attached..

    You make me sick.
    Post count = 1.
    Highly successful person posting his dirtiest secrets to an online community that has recently gained national coverage for identifying an apparent cheat.
    (presumably) Middle-aged man posting on a leaving cert forum.





    Yep, the more I look at it the more I think this guy is probably not being totally honest..:pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 18 danielmonteiro


    anybody here ever thought of leaving money and a note like "A2..B1 or even B2 please? nobody has to know, here's a €50 to return the favour, a free night out " :P

    It's stupid but God.. I can't stop those thoughts from passing through my head. :P

    It's also expressly forbidden and can get your exam cancelled! :)

    I presumed at first we wouldn't be allowed even bring them into the hall, but it doesn't seem to be an issue. That being said, most people just have a few biros and a calculator on the desk anyway, and he tends to give the pencilcases a bit of an eyeball on his laps around the place.

    The phone of the guy next to me went off in Maths 2 on Mon. He had it turned off but had an alarm set. The examiner snapped it off him and took out a orange colored bag. Seemingly his exam is being sent off and corrected separately and his entire leaving is currently in jeopardy!

    This happened to my cousin last year in his exams. Except it was his ipod that started going off (I don't even know..). It was sent off, his mother killed him for it but they found nothing on the ipod related to school stuff so they gave it back and let him have his results.

    Apparently they sometimes make examples of people though :-/


  • Registered Users Posts: 253 ✭✭Dr.Evil


    People talk about it, but has anybody correcting a paper actually had one with money inside it?

    Haha I've thought about it. But the examiner would put the money in his pocket and mark it like he never even seen any money, the bastard:L

    I have never heard of it but the fact the sec explicitly say in their rulebook it is forbidden would indicate some sort of precedence

    Good point, Father, but I can categorically confirm I have not cheated once. I'm gonna put it down to me being incredibly sexy.

    I know how you feel.

    I heard of a story where a girl left nude photos of herself in her exam paper so that the examiner would pass her, but the examiner was a woman! Then she cancelled the script and the girl was banned the girl from the Leaving Cert! Plus she kept the photos!

    But then again, people in Navan tend to talk a lot of ****e.

    I seem to find myself looking up directly in front of me when I'm thinking, and it happens to be where the examiner sits! I hope she doesn't think I'm trying to cheat, because I'm genuinely just thinking:) haha:rolleyes:

    My old Irish teacher, who I did the Dip under, had money in a paper. She didn't know what happened but suspects it was cancelled as she was instructed not to complete correcting it. Keep in mind if it happened while I was correcting I'd always wonder was it put in to check would I report it!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 58 ✭✭ciff


    I heard that you are subjected to a numerous sessions with a priest if you are caught cheating? To get the sin out of you?

    Well, I can safely say that my supervisor is really good! Only handing out the answer booklets 2 minutes before the exam, the actual paper a minute before and walks around the room every 5 or 10 minutes. And she makes sure nobody has phones in their pockets, even turned off, mostly for our own peace of minds!
    Just feel like I have to defend the supervisors that actually are doing their jobs! :)

    They are doing their jobs..some just better than others..and those that aren't doing it to a necessary standard, are giving an obvious opportunity for the cheaters to actually cheat..

    My friend told me that he was one of the 5th years on bathroom duty etc last year, and a girl was caught cheating. She had recorded herself reading all her Physics notes and had them on her iPod. She had the iPod earphones hidden under her headscarf!

    I was nearly finished my history exam. I always have my phone on silent but i forgot and it rang. Im just lucky that it was in my bag outside and not on me! I never forget to leave my ipod and phone outside im so glad i didnt this time!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3 Jeannie792


    there's an external candidate in my center who cheated in both the french and biology exams. She made up tiny little cards and hid them in her pencil case then hid them under her hand and the paper when the examiner was going round. It totally pissed me off. I'd only been reading this thread the night before and all so when I saw it happening i was like :eek: i gave her a full on death glare in the biology so she'd know she'd been seen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,652 ✭✭✭fasttalkerchat


    A lad in the year above ours had a literature book covered in notes... the examiner spotted it and he chucked it out the window before any further investigation.


  • Registered Users Posts: 348 ✭✭xclw


    i think it depends on the examiner really, some really look to find someone cheating but others don't, theres an examiner in my school this year and my friend told me he said out all the rules but then was like if any of these things happen like phones going off i'll turn a blind eye, and the same for if they were talking, he gave them 10-15 minutes before every exam as well to start which in a way is a bit like cheating cos they got way more time than everyone else! like that time can make the difference of some people's grades :/

    The fella who supervises us is dead on. I'm sitting right in front of his desk,and I hate the awkward moments when I look up at the clock and he's blocking it so it just looks like I'm staring at him.

    Tbh, that's disgraceful. That would definitely make a massive difference to grades, especially in exams like English, or Irish, or history! As spurious said, report him, because he's giving a distinct unfair advantage to the students in his centre. He's not doing his job properly.

    You should definitely report them. People have worked hard for these exams and this person cheating could cost someone else a grade.

    You should report that superintendent. That's completely unfair. I wouldn't be surprised if he also let them keep their phones with them in the exam centre. Someone could quite feasibly have leaked the exam paper early to other candidates with him turning a blind eye.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,291 ✭✭✭Junco Partner


    I don't understand the mentality of cheating tbh honest. the amount of effort and stress that must go into making out the notes and hiding em in the exam must be on par with learning them honestly so why not do it the honest way. If you can't do the L.C legitametly should you really be going to college where the exams will be even harder you'll probably sink rather than swim and end up dropping out.

    our examiner is fairly strict. I dunno whether its because i'm sitting in front of her or not but I swear she keeps staring at me and I'm pretty sure she wrote something about me during the art exam on her little sheet scared the **** out of me I sat up cause i got serious pain in my chest and then i copped she was looking at me. My pain face must look very dishonest. :pac:

    Report this immediately because a load of us, I myself a repeat included, did not work this year to lose a college place to others who had an unfrair advantage!
