<p>Some people saw person X ask person Z, who had a test a couple periods before X, what was on a test.
The people screamed 'not fair!'
could person X get in trouble?
Could they prove it?
Shouldn't the teacher make different tests?</p>
<p>Depends on your school. This is completely fair game in my school, but it tends to really tick the teachers off.</p>
<p>I consider it dishonest, but if teachers were really concerned about it they would make different tests. It’s not like you can stop people from talking about certain things in the hallways or whatever.</p>
<p>At my school, this would not be considered cheating. Though in my school, some teachers do try to avoid this by just making different tests for people who take it at different times. Again it depends on how your school works.</p>
<p>This is punishable at my school. </p>
<p>Person X can only get in trouble if person Z testifies that X did ask for questions. That’s unlikely, as most people don’t like to get themselves involved in other people’s businesses. Also, who would even consider “snitching” on X?</p>
<p>“Also, who would even consider ‘snitching’ on X?”</p>
<p>Probably someone who didn’t like X for a reason unrelated to the test.</p>
<p>You shouldn’t be punished for asking what was on the test if the person Z answers with topics. That’s “common” knowledge. Given that the teacher told you what chapter or topics the test was over. What is punishable is relaying questions that showed up on the test. How punishable is determined by your school. Do I think it’s serious? No, not really. I don’t have a problem with it until people have the actual answers or solutions before/during the test.</p>
<p>This is technically a form of cheating. I was talking with my friend about a test (that I already took) one day and our teacher in that class was apparently overheard us for a few seconds. While nothing happened, he did get mad since that is a form of “cheating.” Although my teacher did make different forms, I thought for sure there would be some punishment.</p>
<p>On the other hand, giving multiple answers (almost if not all) or copying someone else’s answer sheet is probably cause for serious punishment if caught.</p>
<p>Yea, most people consider x to be the frontrunner for valedictorian, and the ‘people’ are competition.</p>
<p>Everyone does this, stop being so paranoid.</p>
<p>It’s questionable. If he’s asking general topics, he’s clean, but if he’s asking specific questions, he’s cheating.</p>
<p>My AP World teacher basically told us “I don’t care if you tell people in the other classes what’s on the test, but you’re just putting yourself at a disadvantage because there was no one to tell you what was on the test. Think about that, bro.” </p>
<p>So yeah.</p>
