    The way I look at it is like this, I never cheating in anything before or since, it was a means to an end, I'm not making excuses I know it was wrong.

    My opinion is that if you do it professionally and successfully without getting caught, or having anyone else know for that matter, then its ok - fair play u beat the bastard lc. If however you get caught then everyone faces the consequences like in Trinity - some fools from engineering tried to cheat two years ago and did'nt pull it off. Now every exam hall is like Heathrow airport, its pretty ****ty

    The end justifies the means for cheating for me anyway. When I write out cheat notes I get so obsessed about remembering to bring them that I just learn them anyways. I didn't cheat right through my LC only in physics and only the formulas for one section. I've seen people getting LSMS books into tests, and writing like 4 page essays in tiny tiny font. People dictating into their mobile phones and listening back to it was another one. Cheat is you want, I'm not going to stop you. But if you did please admit it :)

    It comes down to morals, pure and simple.

    Me, I would far prefer passing to 'failing honestly'. In fact I would feel like ****, knowing I could have passed, only for wanting to be honest. But thats just me, I have less morals that most people (methinks).

    I'd rather pass than fail too but luckily for me I don't have to cheat to pass :D

    In our Irish test,a friend of mine finished early so he went up to the toilets, then one of our friends doin the test asked to go to the toilet, and the other chap was there with an Irish book to give him some 'advice'. Where was the student attendant thats supposed to supervise toilet visits, you ask? He was at the door, ready to warn if a teacher or examiner was coming.

    :cool:

    yeah, our supervisor was like that aswell...well not the one at the start, but when all the choice subjects started talking place, we were all shoved into the hall with the same supervisor and he was just walking around and singing...
    i know a few people who cheated...but I think in the end, they realized they took up a **** load of time trying to do it subtley and would of been better off just not bothering...
    blah...i'm nervous!

    yeah well the way I look at it you could be stealing someone's college place etc so shut up with your rubbish about how you don't feel bad and all that. sure, i've cheated on plenty of tests before, but this one doesn't just come down to your morals about whether you feel okay about getting credit for something you didn't do. the problem is that you're affecting other people's chances as well, somewhere along the line.

    aye, you can't justify it..I couldn't give a **** wheter you've never cheated before or not, but when it comes down to it, this is the one that actually counts...i repeated and put a **** load of work in and i still dont think i did as well as last year and the thoughts that some people would get further just cos they cheated makes me have increasingly large numbers of violent thought towards you!!!!!!!! :D
