I know its none of my business, but she had stuff written all down the palm of her hand and on the cuff of her shirt- its scummy that no matter how bad things are getting the rest of us just lump it and do our best inside....didnt say anything but still...wat d'ye think?

Chalk · 10-06-2005 11:46pm

each to their own.
it doesnt affect you in all honesty, so dont let it.

so you think that a few scribbled notes on your hand is better than actualy studying for the exams?

i doubt shes not going to be taking your course place in all honesty

Ro: maaan! · 10-06-2005 11:46pm

Love the sig, Bright Smile.

sock.rocker* · 10-06-2005 11:48pm

**** it.. loads of people cheatin in my school. they dont escort people to the toilets so ya can do whatever..

i havnt cheated but so many people do it all the time

*Angel* · 10-06-2005 11:50pm

It is annoying seeing cheaters when you know you've done the study and all, but tbh I couldn't be bothered with them.

At least when we get a good grade we know it's because we earned it/deserved it, and that matters to me.

Exactly f**k em.Its not worth becoming a very hated person for someone who isn't gonna gain **** anyways.They'll be found out eventually, in life

astec123 · 10-06-2005 11:54pm

What does it matter to you, if you can manage not to cheat at least you know you did it properly, if they need to cheat to get the grades that mentality will remain through their life so screw em in 10 years when they get their just deserts.

sock.rocker* · 10-06-2005 11:56pm

what just deserts would that be? lol

honestly, they're probably over the moon with themselves.. i kno i prob wud

Bright Smile · 10-06-2005 11:58pm

i never would, as i say its none of my business, was just askin opinions on the whole subject really...i know ppl who really worked their asses off all yr cuz they werent that good at irish just to do honours, and although they got on fine, it killed me that yer wan swanned in with loadsa stair notes all over her hand! so tireddddd.....thanks Ro...maaaan!

lestats_bride · 10-06-2005 11:58pm

Yeah theres loads at it in my school too. And its blatantly obvious too. But ah sure, it's there thing if they can do it and not care!

astec123 · 10-06-2005 11:59pm

Once a cheater always a cheater sort of thing, when the come to needing to learn a new skill they will be hopeless. Lots of things could happen that will give them the return for cheating.

sock.rocker* · 11-06-2005 12:00am

yeah, really obvious.. same people go for 10 min toilet breaks every exam

it wud be so handy for the business short questions

Bright Smile · 11-06-2005 12:00am

like the examiner-people guys are so lacksidasical bout the whole thing too in terms of checking ppl out! im not talking cavity search but she was blatently cheating....

John Player · 11-06-2005 12:00am

i etched the formulas into the cover of my calculator with my compas before hand hehe - good tip - this was back in 2001

mp3guy · 11-06-2005 12:00am

Probably got caught. And if you said anything, the examiner could say "why were you looking towards them in the exam in the first place" :rolleyes:

luckat · 11-06-2005 12:01am

I have to say that I can't understand why you can't bring reference books, stories, etc into exams. After all, if you haven't done the work, they're not going to help a lot! Whereas they're a useful reference for those who have.

Let's see, this was the Irish exam? She probably had her whole vocabulary in Irish written on her palm, God love her!

(Mind you, we're getting into larger areas here. It seems to me that it's really wrong to have an exam of such importance all in one week. What if you have your period, get the flu or have hay fever - or all three together, as happened to someone I know. I can't understand why there can't be an exam per month every month for the two years of the Leaving main course, with a chance to repeat as well. The whole thing seems so ritualistic and fetishistic and cruel, the way it is now.)

life isnt about academics.. someone who may be brilliant at something might just be held back my school. ya cant say someone who is bad at school is bad at everythin

whats that statistic? more millionaires in england without gcse's that with..

*Angel* · 11-06-2005 12:03am

It's so risky though, if you get caught, you won't have done your leaving, and it really helps to having a leaving cert.

sock.rocker* · 11-06-2005 12:09am

well in my school, theres no risk..

i got out of ordinary early and was talkin to a guy in higher who actually needed to goto the toilet for a while.. its too easy

Two of the supervisors in the centres beside me fell asleep yesterday :rolleyes:
It's a load of ****e tbh.

I disagree. I cheated a little for the Irish exam. I had alot of what I was going to say in my letter learned off but i just could`nt remember a sentance or two no matter how much I worked at it. So I just had a little piece of paper in my pocket and when I went to the toilet and looked at it again.

I don`t think its something that`ll catch me out later in life in all fairness. I want to do Finance and I`m getting A`s in both Accounting and Economics because I`ve worked very hard at it and its fairly likely that I`ll get the points. Now if I did`nt get into college because of the min req of Irish I`d be bulling (Yes I`m doing pass maths, I`m that bad! hehe, but I got on grand in the test, it was fairy handy)

Lets face it, if you have to cheat, its only to get that D3, because the amount of material you can have on your arm or whatever is limited. You can`t get a B or an A from cheating in an exam. Well not in a way I have figured out.

sixdraw · 11-06-2005 12:19am

the supervisor in my centre is pretty strict.she came down checkin my bottle of water for any extra "ingredients" during maths but the guy next door couldn't give a sh*t. I was talking to an honours student aswell today in the toilets after i'd finished and he was on a break

ed6hellsfresh · 11-06-2005 12:20am

there is nothin wrong with cheatin now if you get away with it. truck all this crap about morals, i'm pretty sure if a little bit of cheatin has got you to your 1st choice you won't be cryin with guilt every night. just because you had the balls to do it you shouldn't be hated on.

also prob shouoldn't be sayin you've got a's when you havent done the examz yet

i believe the phrase 'dont count your eggs before they've hatched' comes from somewhere

Well yeah I was talking about inside the hall with physical cheating notes, but yeah sure I was talking to others outside during a break.

Yeh your dead right. I meant in class all along through the 2 years.

Creamy Goodness · 11-06-2005 12:27am

if you are a lad they can't stop you cheating in biology, that's if the male reproductive system comes up.

go to bathroom look at your lad and then go back and draw it.

*Angel* · 11-06-2005 12:32am

Lol :d

my examiners took our calculator covers, nasty bastards. I'd planned to sneak a few physics formulae in there.

I Saw A Cheater!
