I remember one time when i copied the answers to a test from the desk i was at (Someone wrote them all down) and when the teacher graded the test she asked me if i copied the answers from the desk,i got scared and said no....I should have been honest... I FAILED THE TEST and the teacher might have let me take it over! (Most of the answers were wrong)

The solution??

TRY NOT TO CHEAT ON THINGS........

were I that teacher I'd have written those answers on that desk myself (of course deliberately making them the wrong ones) in order to catch cheaters.

But I'm sneaky
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

I voted yes, but not recently!
The last time I remember doing it was when I was 13. I was in a French grammer test and I hated French. I learnt those LORT/Hobbit runes for it especially and wrote the French-equivalent on my school bag! It was premeditated cheating which makes it all the more bad, eh? Cheating-one straight off!! 25-life. The person next to me was caught cheating at the same exam (he was not as subtle as I), so the teacher brought him outside and asked him why he was cheating. He said that he did it because I was cheating so she brought me outside and asked me if I was cheating. I looked her square in the eyes and said 'no' (I'm a good liar apparently). She asked why the other guy said I was and a shrug of the shoulders satisfied her.
The time before that was also in a language test but when I was in primary school, I was ... 10ish. I went to an all-Irish speaking primary school but was no good at writing it (slight dyslexia I imagine. My English spelling is rotten), so my spelling tests were always abysmal. I could speak it fine though. My teacher was bored out of her mind giving us a spelling test and wasn't paying attention to the class so grasped the opportunity (I can still remember my heart beating!) - I took my book out and opened it at the appropriate page and wrote down the spellings! 20/20. My teacher was honestly astounded. She congratulated me and all!
Those are the only two times I did it intentionally. Occasionally one might (genuinely) accidentally sneak a peek at someone's exam script but then the moral issue of 'use it or not', comes in. It's not cheating (in my opinion), unless you actively seek the result.

Where's the "probably" option? I don't remember specifics but I most likely have.

You think I got all those A's on my own?

I also gaurentee nothing, including spellings and advice :P

I'm on the other side of the exam now. I'm giving exams this week.

We are using special techniques to detect cheating, including software that detect plagiarism.

I would recommend honesty. Cheaters are simply too easy to detect, even without software.
May 'the Google' be with you!
