My God, why didn't anyone tell me that you could cheat in Leaving Cert Art practicals?
Anyway, writing that one formula you just can't ever remember on the side of a pencil. Oh and writing the story of a very little known comic/song/independent movie for your English paper 1. TBH the possibilities are endless. If you can beat the system, you deserve 500+ points

I suppose if somebody managed to steal your car/wallet/credit card/life savings, then they'd deserve it too, right?

Kold · 29-05-2004, 18:28

I wouldn't count cheating in the leaving cert as harming/wronging anybody.

If you were deprived of your college place just because somebody cheated to get an extra 10-20 points, you wouldn't consider it as harming your future? I know I would.

Maybe you should've studied harder. I don't care, I'm using UCAS.

And if you did actually study for english you would see the irony in that statement...

I think most of them are just desperate to avoid study at all costs. The others just think they don't need to study because they can cheat, so they just stay on here 24/7...

stuey · 29-05-2004, 19:10

Nobody likes to study subjects they don't like... but they still have to do it. It's a bit stupid saying "I don't like this. It's too hard. I can't do it. I give up" when you're this close to the exams. The fact that you're deadly at the subects you're interested in just means you need to put more time into your weaker subjects. And soon.

its alway nice to get a bit of motivation from people. thanks subway

subway_ie do you mind me asking how old are you ? I'm just wondering if you were always so sensible. Anyone that did the Leaving Cert in the last 10 years know the crazy pressure thats put on it, and I would have nothing against anyone that *considered* cheating.

Considering to cheat due to fierce pressure and not doing so because they know its wrong shows me far stronger character than someone who is always going to go by the rules.

GoneShootin - I'm 17, 18 end of July. Yes, I do know about the pressure leaving certs are under (since I'm a leaving cert...) and yeah, I think most people would consider cheating at some stage or another. But, I definetly don't think that people would act on it. I'm sure everybody has fantasised/thought of doing something unlawful at some point, but most would just think about it for a split second and put it out of their minds. People who actively encourage things like cheating in the leaving cert have a very messed up value system.
