    Hi

    I just wanted to point out that you are not allowed to write on your exam paper, it's in the rules. It's because it's the only paper that doesn't have your exam number on it and in the past students were swaping their exam papers around with notes on them. So technically, you could get in trouble for writing on them.

    Examiners also look for papers that have bits torn off the end - it's obvious that notes are passed this way.

    What?! I wrote on mine in English... essay plans, poem titles, quotes in case I forgot (i studied mahon before the exam, went to the poetry section and wrote down quotes about him, then did the literary genre) etc and we were even told to highlight/mark out/traslate key words and phrases by our teachers.

    I was doing work in the school for the summer while the leaving cert was going on. On the day of Biology someone just left a biology book rolled up in a bag in the toilets. Cheaters these days, no subtlety.

    Yeah analysing the question and actually writing stuff are different things. Highlighting for the purpose of analysing the question or analysing a passage is allowed, but writing out other stuff on the page is not.

    When I go in and my writing sheet is the only thing on the table, I write at the back, all of my short-term memory stuff for potential use during the exam, worked a treat for English quotes - Is it allowed?

    I'm right infront of the examiner BTW so he see's me do it, but says nothing.

    you are banned from all state examinations...including your drivers test!

    You're not banned from doing your driving test.

    Here are the official regulations:
    # Where the Commission is of the opinion that any candidate has violated any of these Rules, has attempted to obtain an examination result to which the candidate is not entitled, or has uttered or attempted to utter such a result or has furnished incorrect information in relation to his/her candidature, such candidate shall be liable to be deprived of the examination or of marks, or to have such deduction made as the Commission may think fit from any sum payable in respect of any grant or scholarship obtained by the candidate, according to the opinion which the Commission may form of the gravity of the offence; and the Commission may, if the Commission thinks fit, publish the candidate's name and address, as given in the notice of intention to present for examination, as those of a candidate who has been so deprived and the Commission may, according to the opinion of the Commission as to the gravity of the offence, debar the candidate from entering for any of the examinations run by the State Examinations Commission for such period as the Commission may determine.

    As for the comments about writing on exam papers, here are the rules:
    A candidate

    1. Shall not write on the examination paper (except where answers are to be written on part of the examination paper itself e.g. in Mathematics) or I.D. card or Mathematics Tables or on any of the mathematical instruments brought with him/her; except where a candidate uses a highlighter pen or underlining as an aid to interpreting the question paper.
    2. Shall not write in his/her answer book anything that is not directly connected with the subject matter of the questions to be answered,
    3. Shall not remove from the answer books any leaf or part of a leaf,
    4. Shall not take out, or attempt to take out, of the examination hall, any answer books, whether used or unused,

    Now that really shows differences with examiners; mine's never checked bottles, pencil cases, shoes, anything. The only thing he does is say, at the the start of every exam, "Phones are off I presume. Anybody who wishes may put them outside in bags...". On the very first day when they set the ground rules kinda thing, he said bottles of drinks were fine but "no one really likes the sound of a packet of crisps crackling away in an otherwise quiet room, so none of that please"

    And I clicked in hoping for a fun story too, btw :p

    Just put your notes in your pockets (boys&girls) or in your skirts (girls), if the examiner goes to reach and see, just scream "rape". Carry multiple pieces of paper so you can pass off crap such as receipts.

    The time planning to cheat.. wouldn't it be easier to just study? It's funny. You're going through the books, looking at questions and you're writing down answers that need to be remembered. Isn't that study? XD

    Id say I could get away with cheating, but I dont think its worth the risk. Might get you an extra few marks here and there but proberly not even enough to bring you up a grade.

    I want to join the gaurds, so definatly wouldnt try it!

    Well, to clarify, its not our examiner, ours is sound as a pastille. But Im in a gym and theres multiple exam stations. Im right on the edge of mine (the examiner in the next exam station keeps handing papers to me:D) and the examiner in the next station goes around reading everyones bottles and making sure theyre ok.

    He walks like a constipated crab as well...:confused:

    Is it true that the exam papers for two well known subjects are being sold in certain Dublin pubs in the last couple of weeks? How the hell did people get there hands on these papers.

    Really doubt it,all the papers were only collected on Tuesday by the examiners,they then had to go straight to the town/area of the school they are examining in and deliver the steal container to the Gaurd station!

    most examiners will simply chuck your exam in the bin and make it look like you didnt sit it
