How to CHEAT in EXAMS ?

Good luck getting answers on this.

We don’t help with homework questions, I seriously doubt we would help you cheat.

I heard studying was the best way to get the answers.

Why don’t you try studying instead and actually work for a good grade.

Why would we help you cheat? You are just ruining your own life and ruining the curve for the other students.

when time is less and study work is huge,then only way out is cheating.And better than failing.There may be many reasons for not being able to study.

I’m getting my ruler out. Palms down on your desk.

I don’t share my secrets. LOL.

@mama_cakes oh mama!! :P

@Simone_De_Beauvoir secrets are never shared for they are secrets.share your skills and art ;)

Don’t.

Carve the answers into your flesh, maybe.
Or else, get up, walk across the room, and look at somebody else’s test.

Perhaps a better question would be, “What are some good test-taking strategies?”

Cheaters never win in the long run. If you try it, I hope you get caught.

I honestly have no experience with this.
I’ve heard crazy stories of people going so far as to write the answers on the inside of their bras. No idea how they expect to cheat off answers stuck inside a shirt, but I’ve heard of it.

Personally, I think the best way to “cheat” the system is in one of two ways:
1) Do only what the teacher requires, play their game to the T to get the grade you want without investing your time in them. I do this when I really don’t like the teacher or their teaching style.
2) Know everything well past what the teacher wants, and know sides of the arguments that the teacher excludes. I often find this more satisfying, purposely stepping outside of the box some educators and educating systems try to force you into, by looking at it all in a different, more expansive, way. This way also keeps your mind open to different theories and possibilties, not getting locked into one way of thinking.

I don’t consider cheating an art, and it only gives controlling systems more incentive to crack down on everyone and trust no one.
It’s a kids (sometimes desperate) response to a shallow take on learning that has worked its way into education, where the grade trumps everything. Well, they just don’t.

I understand where you’re coming from, I really do. And I don’t mean to sound lecture-y…I’ve been in situations where the tests have been ridiculous, or there have been extenuating circumstances that have left me ill-prepared. It sucks, but it’s life.

You asked this question about 20 minutes ago. That could’ve been 20 minutes put into better preparing yourself. Because the answer is that the safest way is to store all the information inside your mind…

If you can give some information on the topic(s) you’re trying to study, there’s a wealth of information here inside all of the (other ; ) jellies’ minds. Tap the Collective!

The stuff that you’re supposed to be learning is almost certainly going to come in handy in the future. If you don’t learn it, and hide your ignorance under cheat sheets, then your performance later on is going to suffer.

I was a crammer, myself. I’d pay attention in class, pack it all in with a textbook binge a couple of days before the exam, and let all of the info run back out onto the test paper. I got good grades, but my retention of all that data is questionable.

Wow, did you ever pick the wrong place to ask this question! Really, you expect people here to help you with this? How about “How to steal stuff?” That’s a good one, too.

@JilltheTooth I prefer “How do I cheat on my husband without him ever finding out?”

The best way to cheat came from a college professor I had. He said that once you make 6 sets of crib sheets, you will know the material, and not need them.

Bribe the teacher with sex.

Okkk so this is what I do. I heard a long time ago that all the answers were hidden somewhere in the books im supposed to be reading. So what I do is look through the book and try to remember as much of it as I can so then I can use those answers I stole from the book later on the exam…....oh wait a minute…..

@uberbatman LOL, you’re doing it wrong!

:P

There are a gazillion ways to cheat on exams. However, the bottom line is that all of them require more effort than studying so you can pass the old fashioned way.

Haha this thread is so Fluther. <high fives all around>

Now that you know the pitfalls of cheating from the answers above; what do you have to say for yourself? I mean, really, have your learned anything from all these answers?

Don’t worry too much about grades. You’ll be outstanding in business or politics regardless.

@Blackberry got my answer…. There are no short cuts to getting a good education. Certainly not cheating.

@gamefu91 as a full time student with two part time jobs and a single mom to three kids, I am pretty familiar with this idea of “time is less and study work is huge’” Let me take a moment out of my busy schedule to let you know that the cheating method that works best for me is the one outlined by @uberbatman, search the readings for the correct answers, then remember them. Works for me just about every time. In all honesty, any elaborate scheme you might cook up to cheat on the exams is going to take more effort and give you less success than actually applying yourself.

God everybody, get off of @gamefu91‘s back, all right? I can’t believe no one can see that all he’s trying to do is follow in the storied footsteps of our great once-President, G.W. Bush. Trying to emulate one of our great leaders should be commended, not vilified! I mean, come on. If G.W. Bush taught us anything, it’s his life-long motto “Why work for anything, if it can just be handed to you?”

^^GA!

After you cheat your way to a degree, I hope you enjoy wondering whether the pilot flying your plane, the surgeon operating on your mother, and the lawyer arguing your case really learned their stuff or they got their licenses without earning them.

Oh my God, you want to cheat? Couldn’t you just rape and murder a bunch of orphans??? I mean, with all the reactions above, the only logical conclusion is that what you are doing is the WORST THING EVAR.

Not a logical conclusion at all, @papayalily. It wasn’t rated on a scale from most to least harmful or unethical. Is your message that we should avoid only the worst possible behaviors and that all the rest is permitted?

@Jeruba No, I just wonder how everyone would react if someone came here and said they wanted help doing something truly awful instead of what is, at worst, a petty crime. I also wonder why people can’t just flag it and/or move on. It’s not like criticizing @gamefu91 is going to make him change his mind…

But by that reasoning, a person couldn’t get upset because a man slapped his wife. Cause it’s not the worst thing ever, right? I mean, it’s not like he beat her to death…

@papayalily, I do think some of the responses were written in hopes that they might cause this OP to reconsider his or her actions and their consequences.

The hope of influencing one another’s thinking motivates a lot of responses around here, most notably in relationship questions (as well as others in the Social category). Consider, for example, all the questions that boil down to “How do I continue this relationship?” and the answers that say “Don’t bother—forget it.” I see nothing wrong with taking exception to a question when the question itself seems seriously misguided. If the OP wants only responses that address the question directly, without commentary or opinion, he or she can post it as a General Question, right?

@MissAnthrope But would you get mad at a stranger on the internet for it? I’m not talking about getting upset, I’m talking about acting on it. Plus, does anyone believe that @gamefu91 has never heard that you shouldn’t cheat, cheaters never prosper, etc, and that if they simply say it here, @gamefu91 will go “Huh. I had never thought of it that way. Guess I really won’t cheat.”

@Jeruba They could. I’m assuming someone with that low of lurve doesn’t really understand the differences, though.

Well, then, @papayalily, why don’t you go ahead and tell him (or her) how to cheat?

@Jeruba Yeah. There’s no difference at all between simply walking away and actively abetting someone. And what with everyone so riled up and foaming at the mouth, it does seem like the wise move to help the asker…

My God, what would you guys do on 4chan /b/?

@gamefu91 Did you really think we would help you cheat? I would really like to know. I hope you come to your senses that cheating is not the way to go about this, and if you don’t I hope you do get caught and get an F!

@papayalily – “Upset” is a convenient word that, in this case, encapsulates: having contempt for, being outraged by, and not wanting to have any part of that.

Of course the OP has been taught that cheating is bad. That doesn’t mean that people can’t at least attempt to talk some sense into him/her. I also don’t think there’s anything wrong with a group of people – who, collectively, have an incredible aggregate of life experience – reminding this obviously younger person that this kind of behavior is socially unacceptable.

I also don’t see anything resembling anger in most of the responses.

@MissAnthrope True. However, it’s a new user. They don’t know any of us, and they have no reason to trust us any more than any other internet users or internet forums. I know when I take any kind of advice, I make sure to know that person a bit and have criteria beyond “has lived longer than me” (especially since in the industrialized world, with modern medicine, that’s no longer the feat it once was…). Hell, I once had a woman twice my age advice me to become a street-walker (she, herself, had never been a sex worker of any kind).
Lots of things are social unacceptable. Slavery, women as property, no such thing as same-sex marriage – all those used to be socially unacceptable. I’m not saying cheating is right, but there does have to be some sort of moral ground beyond “socially unacceptable”.

@papayalily, when I asked “Why don’t you—?” I was really asking you that question: for what reason would you decline to help this person cheat? That reason, if you have one, is probably very close to what is motivating most of these responses.

This is a new user. I can think of no better way for a new user to grasp that Fluther is not a place where an individual will be encouraged to cheat than by providing responses like those above.

I was more stunned that, in addition to asking us how to cheat, the OP had the audacity to make it clear he/she was too lazy even to find his or her own step-by-step videos on the subject. This is just the type of example where I think I could find it in my heart to recommend that a user (however new) might use one of the many available search engines to locate subject matter. But no, the user came here and asked the question and my fellow Flutherites came through with flying colors!

Furthermore, in case we missed the question, both CHEAT and EXAMS are capitalized (which is yelling in my book). It makes me want to say “CHEATER, I HOPE THE TEACHER CATCHES YOUR ASS, THAT YOU ARE HUMILIATED IN CLASS AND HAVE TO DO EXTRA WORK, THAT YOUR PARENTS FIND OUT AND THAT YOU HAVE TO REPEAT 7TH GRADE!”

Only with an anatomy exam can you take all the answers in with you.

[mod says] Just to be perfectly clear: Fluther will not help you cheat or do anything illegal. It’s actually against the rules, here. Any answer that does attempt to help you with this will be removed.

I’d just like to add that by cheating you aren’t retaining what you would normally learn and retain while studying. In other words, cheating will just make you less knowledgeable later in life and you will have difficulty joining in on conversation about various subjects because you simply won’t remember anything you were ever taught due to the lack of interest in learning the basics.

You say that you have less time and study work is huge ~ I suggest you take a course in speed reading as this will save some time and help you to hone in on the more important aspects of what you are reading. I have done the course (it took one day) and you only need to do it once and you will learn how to read in a more efficient way for the rest of your life.

This thread is pathetic.
You should be ashamed of asking this.

You’re better off using google for this one. It’s been a while since I cheated (junior high?). And it was in vain because I didn’t need to. I had a better understanding of the material than I thought.

You could try making a cheat sheet, organize all the information on one page and memorize the important bits. Then relax. Try and recall from memory a few times, supplementing those bits that don’t stick. Then relax again – and try to read the content as if you were interested (and at that point it may become interesting). You already have your memorization to fall back on, now building an understanding and integrating what you learned will only lead to a higher mark—and actual utility given what you learned was actually useful.

It’s sad that many courses reward memorization, but they do. I’m of the position that courses should give out glossaries and test you on applying the knowledge derived from the course vs simply rewarding good memory.

Look into further mnemonic/memorization methods. In other words, memorization is like cheating, it’s legal and sadly standard practice. It’s still cheating though unless you actually understand the material. I talk with a lot of A+ students, and often find out they have no clue how to use what they just “learned”, but they’re excellent at proving mastery on a test. Sad – accepted cheating.

Using any method that does not involve learning the subject is actually cheating yourself because you will continue to have trouble with anything that builds on your knowledge of the subject.

@papayalily My God, what would you guys do on 4chan /b/?

I suspect the vast majority of Fluther users wouldn’t go to that cesspool of a site.

Yeah, I said it!

@FutureMemory sure, but it’s important to have unmoderated places where people can just be. Whether I like the structure of 4chan specifically that’s another question.

Awful, all of the responses that actually answered the question have been removed !
Yet the question remains.

Also the asker has not said he/she is going to cheat they only asked how it was done.
I have many things that i would like to know it does not necessarily mean that I will implement the knowledge.

@phoebusg Oh I’m glad /b/ exists, don’t get me wrong – it’s just not somewhere I’d go to have any sort of meaningful conversation. I’m all about piracy and fucking shit up ala Chanology and the ddos attacks on big corporations. Most importantly, if /b/ didn’t exist I would have never known about my queen.

@phoebusg well i think the same way.we should be tested on grounds of how to apply the knowledge and not for how well we could memorize stuff.we are not xerox or photocopying machines.I have myself seen a lot of good grade students that have no practical or applied knowledge on the topic/subject.we cannot think of anything ‘new’ in this manner,unless we have a clear understanding of the topic.
And sometimes we have to solve a 2 step problem in 10 steps,for the sake of ‘step-marking’ :(
Would like to learn some memorization skills from you though.there are many out there,don’t know which would actually work.

@papayalily @phoebusg @FutureMemory what is 4chan ?

@Odysseus had you read any of such answer that actually answered my question ?
And yes if their are things we can do,we don’t necessarily do it! I could steal,kill,rape,abuse anything.But i don’t.Actually i don’t know how to do these toO….haha ^^

Read some the responses. Interesting. I went to a doctor yesterday…. and, my only conclusion, he cheated his way through school. just saying!

link

@FutureMemory ddos ? why is it done ? are you into it ?

@BoBo1946 say it on his face….be brave!! :P

@augustlan if any of the answers have been removed then its totally unjustified and unfair.I won’t say anything else.

@papayalily @Jeruba Thank you both :) ......thats all i can say.What is OP by the way ?
I have never cheated in any exam till date.There were days when i used to be a topper and i was asked questions like ‘how do you study?’.I still don’t know the answer myself.Studying used to be effortless for me.But time changes,circumstances change,we change….many things change.There could be a lot more going on,you never know,you have no idea! If people around me are all cheating and getting good grades,then what ? At the end of the day,grades do count.I m not justifying cheating,but we need to get a certain level of grade,else it is useless.Sometimes people who actually have good understanding don’t get as good grades as those who could cram and memorize well.
what if the ill-effects of not cheating are more severe ? why not cheat ? is it wrong to greed for a better grade ? B instead of C ? suppose if i had an accident or i was ill or anything else,not that i was,carrying cheat papers to get B instead of C will be justified ? Why not ? If i had been well i would have gotten B anyway,or even an A.I should be evaluated according to my capability,no? If i don’t i will remain stuck with that C in that subject for ever.Whereas i could cheat get a B and then later on study it for the sake of knowledge. But i shouldn’t because it is,maybe, morally incorrect ? Because it is unfair to others ? How ? Do we study to show others what we are ? If will not affect their understanding of the subject,will it ? And thats what we should study for,understanding,right ? My cheating wont pull them down to C from B,will it ? Take it another way,maybe they will study more to get better grade then me ? or just increase the mutual grade-gap ?

Grow up!

@papayalily Hey, just let it go with them – this isn’t the first time we’ve seen the Fluther community get really uptight about cheating, lol – it’s like a thing people can actually all get behind and then extrapolate to death about extreme behavior like your gynecologist delivering your baby out of your asshole because when he was 15, he asked someone on some website how to cheat. Let the people feel righteous, it’s so rare and it’s such a simple matter, you know, why talk about anything of actual importance? But we can all gather and throw stones at some kid because clearly no one on Fluther ever cheated, ever.

@FutureMemory <clears throat> rule 1 & 2…..

@uberbatman I think it falls under the category of experience is the best teacher, don’t you?

@Simone_De_Beauvoir, I don’t think there was any stone-throwing, or not much. To me it is more like an earnest attempt to offer guidance to someone who seems to be heading the wrong way. It’s parental behavior, and some of us do fall into it rather readily, I’ll admit.

But are you unable to believe that some people have gone through school without cheating at all? I’m truly sorry to see you so cynical.

@Jeruba I suppose it depends on how you see what went on and perhaps we disagree as to how best to parent about integrity…as to your last point, I am completely able to believe that and was simply implying that there is no way all of the people against cheating now haven’t cheated sometime in school. I have cheated probably in middle school or high school (I don’t remember because it’s not important to me and I don’t cry over it at night) on a test that had zero to do with who I am now as a person or what I needed to be tested on in all actuality, back then and even though I was a good student, I also was bored out of my mind about how easy it all was in terms of ‘memorize, regurgitate’ and I feel like I spent the better part of my high school days doing community service and cancer research rather than thinking about some chapters in a physics textbook and probably came up with a cheat sheet or two on formulas because those are always a waste of time and any engineer or physicist (not a teenager, a professional) would either learn them eventually or be able to look it up…and you know what?! – nothing happened to me or to my career or to the fundamental morality of the universe – you think it matters now that when I was 17 I wanted to know how to outsmart that fucked up teacher that hated us all or that it reflects on my worth as a professional in the field of patient navigation and cancer support? – if you do or if anyone does, you are the cynical ones. And for the record, I stand by @Augustlan and fluther’s mission to not provide any such assistance and answered this question in a joking manner and moved on.

@uberbatman I know =/ It had already been breached twice, at that point I said fuck it. Bad move.

Brain implants.

In the near future.
