Have you ever cheated on a test in high school?

<p>No because I’m really bad at it and I’m sure I’ll get caught.</p>

<p>No, because a college app person might be looking <.< >.></p>

<p>I never cheat when the test is actually happening. But I’m the person that’s always like “OMGZ have you had (insert class) yet?!? was the test hard?? What was on it? What was the format?!? Do I need to know this and that?” etc.</p>

<p>To the best of my knowledge, no. People cheated off of me a lot, however!</p>

<p>How do you define “cheating”? Hmm. </p>

<p>In my school, if you didn’t cheat, you were in honors. All of the AP students cheated. Usually it was a class effort, but occasionally it would be a pair effort. We also had an unwritten moral (?) code for cheating. Never do it if the other person doesn’t know, never cheat word for word, if you are the cheater (and the other person is the cheat-ee), you have to sacrifice a couple of answers to get a few wrong so no two papers would be exactly the same, etc.</p>

<p>To my knowledge, no one ever got caught (or at least, punished). But I never, EVER took part. Just making that clear to any shifty eyes that might be watching the forums.</p>

<p>Bumppppp :)</p>

<p>Nope</p>

<p>See, one can get on one’s high horse and put down other people for cheating. It’s easy not to cheat when the material comes easily to you, but few people can say they wouldn’t cheat if they were placed in a class they were lost in and the only way for them to pass was by cheating. Take my terrible online AP Physics course, if it were possible for me to cheat I might be tempted, but they are all proctored so I don’t even have to worry about the temptation.</p>

<p>No. 10char</p>

<p>Every chance I get.</p>

<p>same with ShampooSwallower</p>

<p>Anyone else? haha</p>

<p>I cheated without knowing it beforehand. I was looking at some practice AP Politics Free Responses and their answers to prep for one of my teacher’s tests. The FRQ that I was looking at turned out to be the exact same one that he used on his test so I knew all the answers before.</p>

<p>I probably have. I’ve gotten heads ups on difficult questions from people in other sections of a class, but I don’t remember ever specifically asking for them if that makes any sense. And I copy hw when I forget to do it and don’t have qualms handing it out if some asks, as long as the hw has nothing to do with original analysis. Plagiarism is something I have not done and will never participate in. </p>

<p>On a side note, here’s a little anecdote about academic honesty paying off. In AP Bio we would have to do three relevant FRQs every for every test, most of the time we completed this at home. The MC portion of our tests were open-book and you couldn’t use other people, but the FRQs were supposed to be completed as FRQs: timed with no resources. Anyway most of the people in my class looked up the answer keys for the released FRQs and then filled them in, securing them straight tens and delighting our oblivious teacher. I didn’t do this, meaning my grades on these assignments would tend to vary a little and not be as consistently high. The reason I did this is because I know doing this was the difference last year in Chem between me (5) and the rest of the class (One 4, mostly 2s) on the AP. Fast-forward to the AP exam. Guess who was the most comfortable with the FRQs?</p>

<p>tl;dr Think about you academic habits. “We must always play by the rules” and “OMG I pwn noobs w/ my mad cheat skillz” are both bad options.</p>

<p>No, unlike just about everyone else at my school.</p>

<p>Hmmm, my cheating experience is small, and it wasn’t really “intentional”. My math final last year I wrote a formula on my hand I consistently forgot. I’ve barrowed math tests from people if I was absent the day of the test because the teacher always uses another test. The last time I did this, he didn’t use another test. That’s about it…</p>

<p>Only when the situation demands it.</p>

<p>define… school</p>

<p>Not exactly the best place to be confessing… last time I checked, the internet was public.</p>

<p>It’s still tricky to confirm exact identity. Also, I’m pretty sure (in theory) they still have to prove the exact offense. I could confess to murder on here, but unless the prosecution can say when/who I murdered it’s SOL.</p>

<p>Yes, I have. I was looking at someone’s paper during a math test and my teacher caught me looking. He was like, “Keep your eyes on your on paper.” Thank goodness, I didnt get in trouble, haha.</p>
