    So easy but I would feel totally guilty. I would rather fail like a man than cheat like a woman. I got an email, www.howtocheatinyourleavingcert.com, did anyone else get this email?

    I wouldn't do it personally, and I haven't seen anybody either. However quite a few people are using concentration aids like pills and tablets, which I don't consider cheating.

    OP, you realise the consequences of getting caught?

    Speaking of pills some ppl looked absolutley wrecked today. It was if the life was being slowly drained from them. Some ppl were studying late. :P

    For once I haven't cheated at all. Though I reckon the examiners're getting suspicious of me at this stage cause I'd to go to the jacks three times today. Though with all the bloody heat, I'm drinking an awful lot (e.g. I drank two bottles of water and a pint of milk today).

    Tbh, good luck to anyone who wants to cheat. They just have to be prepared to accept the consequences should they be caught.

    the leaving cert is a memory test.

    learning perfect answers off is probably the smartest thing you could do.

    Ha, how so. Seems nonsensical given the nature of the leaving cert, which is to learn off as much as possible are write it all out as quickly as possible.

    yes but i disagree with it because there is no way in hell that i'd bother learning anything.

    i'll regret it come august i suppose, but if i repeat i'll just do the same.

    It's not a memory test if you want to learn the work piece by piece in school hours saving hours and hours of memory work that might seem daunting and pressurising.

    Why is it risky? No examiner is going to follow you to the toilet.

    I am actually quite peed off with the lack of supervision in my exam center. We are in a huge hall with just two supervisors who wouldn't notice a tornado hitting. We are let into the hall when we please and were given our answer books and tables while we were sitting there with our notes revising. Who's to say we wouldn't sketch in a few formulas etc? People pop in and out of the toilets constantly, with teachers etc out in the hall.

    It's well laid back.

    Btw when you go to the toilet what is written on your booklet and does it have any effect on things?

    Oh look I've gone off on a tangent, bit like my english exam.

    Now that's risky. However, popping off to the toilets and reading off your body is pretty much foolproof.

    it's written on your paper when you left and came back. if your exam seems suspicious they check the time.

    It's really lax in my exam centre. People were opening the paper as soon as she handed it out (like 5 mins before we were told to turn it over..) and she's been late in to start the exams a few times....

    But could you imagine telling on someone and ending up causing someone to fail their leaving cert and have to do it again and would be doing it along with you next year . and ud end up getin a name for yourself as the person who caused fellow student to end up doing another year or even two in school .

    Id cheat but only on math paper 2 i am very bad at maths and thats the only one id cheat on . Our examiner is unreal today in maths paper 1 I hd my hand in the air for 15 mins and i wasnt the only one there were about 6 ppl with their hands in the air and she didnt even see us you could cheat no problem at all

    yes, I could live with making someone pay for trying to do better than their fellow students unfairly...

    Could very much so live with myself if that happened. Their own fault. Plus, isnt there like a 7 year gap if your caught cheating?

    i could quite easily live with myself IF i did it, it wouldnt be worth living it was found out i was the ''informant'' not only does the guy himself frighten me but he has a very loud mouthed brother in my year so the consequences would be a little severe for my liking, oh well

    Why the hell would you write them on your thigh?I just write things on the inside of my palms.I did it with the ''king becoming qualities'' Malcolm listed in Macbeth, and I did it with some of the formulas in maths today.

    Thats worse. It would take a 3 second investigation to determine whether you were cheating or not. Cosine rule written on me balls.

    ...What kind of freak would check the palm of your hand?Anyways we could probably cheat and our examiner wouldn't care.She'd probably just go ''come on now you can do well without cheating.....Now if you don't put those notes away in the next 5 minutes, I may have to give you another warning''.Shes so nice!
