I also wonder why it has to be that way. I believe that learning does not depend on how well you do on your exams (because you can cheat) but how you use your knowledge to get on with life. Final exams are done like that to test students if they've learned anything and of course, to make our life miserable. *sighs*

I don't.  I don't think it's worth it - to sacrifice what you've worked for so far?  If you cheat, and you're willing to take that risk, either you really don't care much about the consequences, or you don't have much faith in your own abilities - I mean, why would you?  You'd say "because I want to do anything to get ahead", so obviously you don't believe you have the brains or concentration to do that without studying - or at least the time it takes you to prepare the cheat sheet, you couldn't learn the material on your own.\n\nAnother convincing aspect for why not to cheat is that if you do, you can't look at your accomplishments and know that you were solely responsible.  Of course you can say to yourself that you are where you are because you cheated, but I doubt it makes *that* much difference, and even if it does make a signifficant difference, sure to the outside world you're great, but really, you've accomplished very little.\n\nFurther, if you're in a situation where you have to actually perform, and you got to where you are because you cheated, would you really be as able to figure it out as the person who has spent the time to work on it and understands not just whatever it is you're doing, but how to approach it without a "crutch"?\n\nFinally, I think it's important to stay true to yourself.  Cheating reflects on the individual.  If you cheat one place, you'll do it another.  If it's more important how you look rather than upholding your own ethics, then that's your problem, but if the person is considering cheating/not cheating, I'm assuming they're more than just an empty shell of a person.\n\nUsing a recent example, in grad school about 75% of the class was handing around the answers to a final exam.  It came to me, but I didn't take it.  What happened?  I was bottom 10% of the class (I truthfully didn't study much either - it was math!).  What happened?  I was not responsible for cheapening the grades or the degree of the other students who didn't cheat.  I also worked harder and kicked azz on the later exams.\n\nFour years later, did that C+ make a difference?  Not at all.  Would it have made a difference had I gotten the B+? Probably not.  Maybe had I cheated on all my exams, sure.  But regardless of any of that, I can say that sure, I earned that C+ but it was all me.  I also earned the subsequent As and Bs.  That degree was all of my work, and I wouldn't change any of that in any way.\n\nSo, after probably the longest answer, if the person wants to cheat, that's their call, but I think it shows that person is weak and can't deal with their own insecurities, challenges, failures, and even successes.

No. That's dangerous and 90% of the time nothing is done and you're reputation is mud. That's because since your friend didn't actually see it, he/she will always have a doubt about if it was actually cheating or not.\nAnd the bed always wins when there's a doubt...

Yeah, OK, just take it one page at a time, until you have learned everything on those, and you'll pass , no problem. Concentrate, and give it hell!

There's not a lot of studying that you can do.  There are some tests that assess your processing speed and perceptual reasoning abilities- and you can't really study for or fake those.

Hello,\n     Well firstly, all the best for your tests. Poor you, having to answer tests... :-(\n     Tests are no monsters really, its just a battle of wits and guts. So if you lose the battle in your mind, you fail (or at least do badly) in your test. The important thing to realise is that you must always remain neutral. Dont get all panicky and desperate. The world isnt coming to an end. Neither get really cool and unconcerned. It is a test after all, you have to do well. Just strike a good balance. If you have studied, then half your job is over. The other half of the job is to calm down and remember the information, so that you can recollect it during the exams. Thats it. No big secrets...

The best way to cheat on a test is to find out as much about the subject at hand as you can...look in your textbooks and take notes in any classes you might have on the subject.  That way, you will already know the answer to any question that you are presented with . Sneaky You!\n\n:P

you could try studying and writing. some of those lil bits of info may show up on the exam, and if you don't study you wont know it

1.) Don't give everyone the same questions. For papers, don't give them the same assignment. \n\nFor tests, you could intentionally stagger them so that adjacent students don't have the same questions. Alternatively, for multiple choice tests, give everyone the same question, but change up which letter corresponds to the correct choice.\n\n2.) Be vigilant. There's no substitute for watching the students as they take the test. You may want to talk to your administrator and see if you can't use a hidden camera during tests. You may not be able use the footage against the students, but if they cheat once, you know who and what to look for to catch them red handed later, or to generate proof.\n\n3.) When grading papers that students have been able to take home, check Wikipedia and other commonly used online resources for plagarism. Also, compare a few papers on each assignment to see if they are similar.  If students are handing in an electronic copy, then you can use search tools to easily catch people.\n\n4.) Do not allow any technological device to be taken out during your exams unless they are allowed - read up on the rules at your institution. If you can confiscate things like phones - do so. Word gets around, and students will avoid cheating if they know you'll catch them and take their stuff away.

I assume the answers to these questions were in the material that was presented during the lessons that you were supposed to learn and study.  Instead of asking someone else to take your test, why don't you turn off the computer and study?

my impression from doing practice exams and taking it back in 2000/2001 is that the tests can really very from year to year. sometimes they'll give you harder questions with formulas or easier questions without. the test i took turned out to be pretty different from any of the practice tests i took (I was just studying on some hand-me-down Kaplan books -- Luckily I got a 4 anyway). I do remember that they had a graphing calculator portion of the test -- which means you can program it in and at least have all the formulas with you on test day. In any case, it's better to memorize more than less.

you COULD, but not only would it be cheating, but you'd also be opening yourself up for wrong answers from ignorant people who are only answering your question for the points.  Also, if you do your homework here, you how are you going to do well on tests that force you to use your "knowledge"?

My best advice for you is to be honest as can be and tell her you won't do it again... and for the zero, I would cheat on another test... just learn from your mistakes before and dont get caught again

Why do you even want to cheat? Just study hard, and do your best, and you will be able to pass.

Wouldn't that be cheating?\n\nI'd suggest you study.
