2. Students cheating has always been a very serious problem as inventive individuals
sometimes astonish with their imagination and devices they use to perform a task
unjustly. This problem has become rather significant in exams, where a variety of
new techniques appear annually.
Some of the used methods are even not referred to cheating by students
themselves. For example, not all learners admit that plagiarizing is a way of
cheating, but in some countries, there is even criminal responsibility for that. But
still almost 90% of students are aware of the ways how plagiarism checkers can be
cheated and their illegal actions are very difficult to prove.
Nobody even thinks about the seriousness of the consequences cheating can bring
about. At the same time, the inventiveness of the students only humiliates.

5. Ways to cheat
It is impossible to mention and describe all
the ways of cheating in one article.
But today we will mention 10 most popular
ways of cheating at exams mentioned by
students.

Calculators are allowed to use on
exams and written in a pencil crib on
its back is invisible from any angle until
you look close at its back. If you feel
that you are followed or might be
caught, most of the calculators are
equipped with professional covers that
may hide your notes.

thing for young ladies and it can be also

favor if you are caught. But it is always

fingers if you on the point of being detected.

forms and their inside volume,

necessary information to copy – a
simple but working method!

place and even pens develop. Invisible ink

it at home and using ultra-violet light read
or write down that again at the exam.

13. 8 Mentioning that cheating is a synonym to
lying there is no better example of cheat
equal to lie than this. As soon as exam
papers are returned to the students, they
make similar to their teacher corrections
and present them as mistakes of teachers.
Many teachers get nervous as nobody is
insured from overlooking or
misinterpreting and immediately agree to
improve the grade without looking what is
there. Such actions are extremely offensive
for teachers, who learn about their rough
mistakes!

imagine, one of the students throws a
question paper out of the window or makes
a photo and sends it via phone, a team of
helpers solve it nearby and either dictate,
or send via messages the answers for the
whole class to pass an exam. Good idea?

16. Cheating is not the best way to receive a good grade
for the subject. If you are a regular cheater, it means
that you will never be an excellent-grade student and
once you will be undoubtedly caught to be severely
punished. Consequently, cheating can be and must be
stopped at the educational establishments and first of
all this must be a decision of students to stop cheating.
