I cheated every now and then in High School. I don't think I'd have gotten through some classes without. It's not that I'm not smart, but I am horrible at French and I needed to or I'd have failed.
Now that I'm in University, I will not cheat at school ever again. That is too important.
I've cheated before and in every case I never had a need to do it since I would've gotten high marks on the exams regardless. Sometimes I just get bored, an opportunity presents itself, and I impulsively do it just to see if I can get away with it.
yeah one time in 7th grade science the smartest kid in school was sitting next to me during a test and it was scantron but the bubbles were freakin huge so i mean i could have copied off someone halfway across the room. but anyways, i cheated off him and changed a few answers and ended up making like a 96 on it.
Loads of times, more times than not. And when I didn't cheat I still received higher scores than others because i was so used to the right answers for everything lol, its like I learned by cheating. Im currently in a university, haven't cheated yet.
Yes, in high school and I'm not very proud of it. I wouldn't dare cheat in college. Not only are the ramifications far greater, but I just feel no desire to do so. I'd rather work out and get something out of the classes.
Cheated in first grade. Had to memorize a story and reproduce it for a test, but being the sneaky bastard I am I had the book open in my desk drawers (the one with the empty front) and peaked at it the entire time.
I think I also did some group cheating at Chinese school with my classmates because nobody cared about it. Other than that, no cheating!
In college I never copied, but I did do somethings that were pretty shady. If I ever had to summarize anything for class (which was pretty common) I'd use the auto-summarize tool in word. I'd manipulate fonts, and margins to make papers longer. I would find a paper on a similar subject to mine and steal their resources instead of wasting a weekend sifting through journals, and coming up w/ dead ends. I would change the clock in labs to meet manditory time requierments.

I have done a similar thing when writing reports. Basically I would get paper with a similar topic and look through the bibliography for references. It was easier then trying to find my own references from scratch. I started doing it after looking through proquest for hours not being able to find something specific to my topic.
The only time I cheated a lot was in Chinese when I cheated in practically every test from 2nd quarter onwards. But then again the whole class was cheating because the workload at the time was rediculous.
Now I don't tend to cheat a huge amount, although I occasionally do.
The last time I remember cheating was back in 9th grade Italian on a quiz. It was pretty obvious too. The answer sheet was right on the floor under the desk in plain sight.
not really, i know when things are coming up and whats to be covered so i prepare in advance, even if i dont know the answer i just guess or leave it, not worth cheating
I took advantage.. My school had a grad class of 950, and 2500 people in it so we never got much homework, and teachers always tryed to make the tests few and far between because they would have so many to grade I remember in chemistry we used to have open notebook, group tests.. Those were the best and I just slept every class besides the ones we watched Bill Nye the Science guy, and then got everyone else's anwsers come those open tests.
In high school I take a small sheet of paper and put it under my foot. When the teacher is no where to be seen I would take my foot off and start jotting down answers. High School was easy :)
Admittedly, yes. In high school I was terrible at math. During an exam I wrote some formulas on a small piece of paper and and put it in a fold in my tie. That's probably the biggest extent I've gone to cheating.
