I'd say it happens a fair bit. There was a guy on gerry ryan last tuesday saying " a student trying to cheat is like a student with a flashing light on his head"

Lol!!

i think a few tryed it in our hall but it didnt really work tbh, so they quit,

wouldnt be bothered with cheating anyway, too much hassle and bad penalties!! its only the jc after, doesnt really matter too much like

Conor108

Ah I think some had formulas written on their hand;) To be fair its a bit of a messed up system, it shouldn't matter if people cheat. Like what jobs would you use Irish in? (realistically)

I would say cheating would not be hard..

PLEASE NOTE I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU DO THIS IS JUST THEORETICAL

1. Take a wallet into exams with alot of receipts in it. And place answer in it
2. Kindly ask to go to the toilet.
3. Look at your said answers.
4. When satisfied flush down the toilet.

Maths is worse. If I fail (and I probably did) I'm screwed; if I don't I'm able to stand at the bottom of a tree and work out how tall it is. Seems useful.

There are some pretty smart ideas on the leaving cert cheating thread! Have an iPod with notes playing in your pocket, bringing the earphone up your sleeve into the palm of your hand...

Anyone that uses that method to listen to music in normal classes gets caught so I wouldn't risk it.

apparently people in my school are putting anwsers in their fones and then when they go to the toilet they jus take it out. simple really. But I wouldnt even bother trying.

zstar43

they don't check ur pencil cases or anything you can put anything in them!! not that i'd risk it and someone i know just wrote it all up her arm!!!

Hmmm my school has Wi-fi, Don't know if its unsecure or not but if we all have laptops on the table...(Stay with me) We can have a nationwide cheating network and ask each other! I know, I know...Genius:D

I did the toliet break job a few years ago, and i remember that i was given a box for all the electonics, such as phones and walkmans ( mp3 players werent the norm then)

Theres a person cheating right across me in the class. He just has a piece a paper with formulas and phrases. He showed me it one time (just the paper from a distance) I can't believe he gets away with it

imnotright93

if your spending your time writing the anwsers on your fone would you not be better takin an extra 5 or 10 mins to accuali learn them.....
a bit stupid in my opinion

i agree. i mean the only stuff you can actually cheat on is writing down formulas or phrases or stuff. and those take what, 2 minutes to learn. not worth the risk. you forget the formula, you forget the formula. youll still get SOME attempt marks.

Dont want to sound like the "strict" fella now like but realisticly if you go to college like and get there through cheating, wheres it going to get you, or even if you cheat your way through college like, when you get to your job you'll be utterly clueless.
Then realisticly youll have wasted all your life cheating and have nothing to show for it, looking in the long run, why not learn a few formulas and get it over with :S

oponodon

Cheating is much more bother than its worth. most exams you can pass anyway, even without learning loads. Alot is common sense. If you REALLY had to tho, i'd reccomend just doin it with that one formula you can never remember, or some important phrase that you need to finish ur irish letter.

Still though, not to be a crochety bastard, there really is no excuse for not working hard this year. I got 11% in my maths summer exam in 2nd year, (im really lazy

) then i bucked up, and tried my best in 3rd year, got a C in higher level in the mocks (2nd highest in the class) and Im now waitin for my real JC results, but i'd say i got at least a B. (i dont want to jinx an A, but i just might have gotten one. maybe. in 10 days i'l find out anyway.....;))

oh well

speaking as an exam supervisor thought I should just let you know that sometimes we see someone we think is cheating and what we are instructed to do is to complete a particular form with the person's exam number on it and why/how we think they are cheating. The student would never know about it.

If when the papers are being marked something just doesn't ring right (ie if one question is answered brilliantly and the rest are not, it can stand out like a sore thumb).

We can usually spot an ipod at a mile away, bits of paper in the pencil case are very obvious - actually we don't allow any pencil cases on the desk, just the loose pens, rulers, etc. We are also entitled to have a look at any calculator we want to (in case you've got formulas programmed in).

There is always someone who will try it - some probably even get away with it, but basically, don't do it. not worth it in the least. You are not fooling anyone - except yourself.

Why bother doing it when its only the J.C..You're risking something for nothing

Bah, cheating to do well is stupid. Shouting answers across to someone while seeing if you can't get caught, now that is fun.

My record was shouting "RAM stands for random access memory" across 12 lines of desks or holding my script up in the air for 12 seconds lol without them noticing
