    Well tracking an Ip is quite simple:)


    But tbh, don't care that you have cheated and if you do cheat.

    Unfortunetly for you when you get your results you'll hear the words ''I'm so proud of you''

    In your mind your thinking ''Yeah! I'm so fúcking awesome, but if it waasn't for my cheat sheets I would of failed!''


    CAN YOU LIVE WITH THE PAIN:)

    People still watch RTE news? When there are less filler, less terrible and more accurate alternatives out there? BBC, Sky to name a few.

    The pain of finishing secondary school forever with good results and 3/4 years of craic in college? Yeah I can live with that.

    And sure they could track the ip but they still coudn't prove whether I cheated or not because it's already happened and I wasn't caught!

    I've never cheated in an exam and I don't plan on doing it now. I put in a lot of hard work this year, and all of it would mean nothing if I cheated....

    They're both muck, I can't decipher between woeful and terrible.
    The only real difference is the accents.

    Ah so I suppose we should all take shortcuts in life so. If thats the case. Well I'd hope some of the stuff is relevant considering most doctors would of studied Biology in school!

    The LC is a terrible way of determining college places with most of what you do throughout 5th and 6th year irrelevant as long as you learn off loads and loads of material in the month leading up to the exam.

    Actually it's an extremely fair way - compared to what went before, where the people your parents knew and the amount of money they had dictated whether or not you went to college, let alone what course you did. And you haven't met college exams yet. The LC isn't a patch on them - and there's no sympathy or widespread media hysteria over them.

    I don't think cheating is as widespread as you all seem to be so convinced it is. Either way, the idiots who cheated - AND confessed to it on an internet site - good luck to you all. You're obviously not mature enough to see the much bigger picture here. The LC is a stepping stone to giving you as much opportunity as possible to decide what to do with the rest of your lives. It's not an exam set to trip you up and trick you by all the teachers who have ever given out to you.

    To those who do understand where the LC sits in the bigger picture, and who are grown up enough to see that you get out of it what you put into it, best of luck, I hope you all get what you want.

    Ha this guy is very naive... Yes the LC is a means to an end but its also meant to be productive and make you a bit smarter to get through life... You may cheat and get a decent result in August and you may get into college... Hey you might even last through college by cheating as its easier to cheat in college than the LC but the fun will really start when you graduate with your pieace of sh1t degree, get a job and realise that you have the mental capabilities of a 12 year old because you havent studied a day in your life. You will be fired within a week as any decent employer sees through bullsh1t quicker than you can realise how to log into your shiney new laptop. You'll then end up working in McDonalds asking the people who actually studied what sauce they want... So lets save all the hassle, stop cheating yourself and other people who actually worked, apply to McD's now and the let the hard working people get on in life.

    Sigi, some of use have put in hard work, to get our college place, some of us have given up time during our year to get where we are now. If you cheat, you just prove how much of a gob****e you are, too stupid/lazy to put in the time.

    If you are cheating, hope you get caught, if you have done your leaving, hope you are removed from the gene pool with that thinking. Moron.

    Ah get a grip will you, you're being sensationalist.....The world isn't all about how much you learned off when you were 17/18 for a three week block of exams. And if you were actually informed you would know that college takes into account continuous assessment where assignments and projects are as important as exams so you can work steadily through the year instead of having year's worth of material to remember and regurgitate in the space of two hours.

    Hard work only gets you so far, a bit of savvy and creativity in a chosen field will set you on a career path that will be enjoyable as well as successful......Do you want fries with that?

    Job Interview:

    *Why should we hire you?*

    *Well... I was savvy and was creatitive. I wasn't stupid enough to actually study for my state exams. I decided to use my creativity to cheat.*


    In other words :I wasn't fúcking bothered to try really hard to study. Instead I made cheat sheets and decided that I would declare that as being creative...

    You must be taking the piss.

    Your mind is already set that cheating is fine. I'm not gonna waste my time trying to persuade somebody that it's not ok.

    People in McDonald's work hard. Less of the elitism/snobbery.

    I don't think cheating in the L.C. is OK. It would p!ss me off if I learned somebody got a place I wanted by cheating. But I guess you'll never know.

    Yeah thats exactly what I'm going to say...

    And yeah I'm not bothered studying as I don't need to,but I'm not cheating either.If however I did feel the need to cheat I would end up with a good leaving cert like everyone else who studies,get into college and end up with the same degree...
