Greentext your stories of academic dishonesty, /sci/.

>AP history exam
>class averages are always ~50%
>me and two friends decide on a system of cheating where we hold up fingers to correspond to the letter answers: 1 for A, two for B, etc.
>since there's three of us, majority rules, if we split three ways we just go with what we want
>since the teacher doesn't pay attention there's room for a little bit of commiserating
>things are fine until I get pissed that they both think Russia never occupied north america
>we basically have a whisper argument and the teacher looks up and sees me making huge motions with my hands and whisper yelling
>she thinks we're just talking and tells us to get back to the test

In sixth grade I won a geography bee because the runner-up thought that the capital of Brazil was South America.

It was a hollow victory.

Dude I go to an engineering university and I've seen more cheating here than I ever saw in HS.

I'm not saying it doesn't happen, I'm saying you have to be a fucking moron to do it.

>> No.2678801

>>2678784
how do you even cheat an engineering test?

I'm curious how anyone does it with the prof looming and the non-multiple choiceness. Maybe you're in a shitty uni? idk

I wasn't talking about an engineering test. Students still have to take intro level courses like Chem, Bio etc. which usually contain multiple choice.

Though I was referring more to stuff like labs, HW, short quizzes etc.

Yeah I was standing right next to him as he was doing it. I was really nervous but I was pretty confident in my pshop skillz; I also made sure not to make it look *too* perfect, so even though i removed starting material completely I left a bit of a solvent peak since it would be unrealistic otherwise.

My physiology lab is the same way. Half the people don't even do the experiments and just completely fudge the reports. He's aware of it but gives everyone full points anyway.

In grade five spelling, I would keep the list of words in my desk and refer to it as needed. Which was basically never because I was a boss at spelling, but you gotta get dem 10/10s nigga

In any class where you're allowed to bring in a calculator, it makes those equations or rules that you just can't be arsed to memorize a hell of a lot easier to find.

English 101. Write generic research paper / report on something in my major. Turn it in with minor modifications 6 different times for 6 different classes.~ An A- each time on something that only took 30ish hours to write the first time and 2 hours to edit subsequent times.

I guess this varies, but I've actually talked to various professors about this. The general consensus seems to be that if you wrote it, you should be able to use it in any classes that apply. Basically, it's impossible to plagiarize your own writing, so there's no point in making a rule against it.

I remember in 7th grade Pre-Algebra, we only did work from a book.
The back of the book had the answers to every odd numbered problem.
We were only assigned odd numbers.
Never learned anything.
Felt great.
Then next year came Algebra class which was mostly filled with stuff the year before..
Felt retarded

But AP tests have multiple forms each with a different question sequence.
