I've edited out the links to the facebook groups. There's no evidence that what'd being claimed is in anyway true, and any way those facebook groups are essentially playing a big part in internet bullying, which with this being C&H may end up being a serious thing for someone reading the forum. General discussion on the topic of cheating is allowed, however please don't link to any more facebook pages of that nature.

I have no choice in this paper... I can't do probability so I hope the circle is ok:/

I have only 1 extra question, unless the Circle is ridiculously easy altogether (or I remember it better than I think I do)...

Wait...she put notes in her hoody for Irish? But Irish Paper 1 for LC is tomorrow...no? Unless this is a JC link? In which case, wow...I can't imagine anyone my age being as vindictive as to do that, it's not as if they're distressed about college places or anything. Although cheating in the JC is quite retarded (if, in fact, the claims are true).

Ya, shes in Junior Cert. I know the school, and know of some of the people in question through other people.

You'd have to be incredibly stupid to cheat in a state exam, especially the JC.

What are the consequences of cheating in the JC? Are you banned for 5 years?

As far as I know if you're caught cheating in any state exam you're not allowed sit any ever.

As far as I know, all state exams for 5 years. I'm not sure exactly what you have to be found doing...I have heard of people having certain results withheld from the JC results because of suspected cheating, but I don't think it had gotten too serious. Much worse for the LC I'd say.

randylonghorn · 13-06-2011 12:27am

It's at the discretion of the Minister, on the advice of the SEC, to impose a ban and for how long. It's not often applied, unless in serious cases where there is no doubt whatsoever.

I would be somewhat surprised if it was invoked at Junior Cert level tbh.

One of the problems ofc is actually *proving* the allegation.

In this case, that girl is already being subjected to a far worse punishment than a ban from the state exams ... and who know whether there's any truth to it at all?

And if there's not, how on earth does she defend her good name? Everyone will automatically assume "no smoke without fire"!!

randylonghorn · 13-06-2011 12:47am

Actually ... at the more serious end of the curve re: cheating in state exams ...

Duffy the Vampire Slayer · 13-06-2011 12:53am

I wonder how often identical twins have done that.

randylonghorn · 13-06-2011 12:58am

I often wonder about things identical twins would do ... :pac:

I've been home since 11 thinking i've messed up, or it was just so so easy

jumpguy · 13-06-2011 6:22pm

Maths paper 2 was very pleasant at honours too. A bit sickened I didn't get the (c) (iii) of the option (Q8). It was so simple...*sigh* I just know that'll have cost me a grade.

soccymonster · 13-06-2011 6:28pm

OL Maths paper 2 was preety awesome

HL Irish essays were really nice too (yay for a debate coming up on future of ireland!). I think i might pass irish now

Bottleopener · 13-06-2011 6:33pm

Am absolutely ecstatic with both Irish and Maths HL today! Really was a confidence boosting day. Roll on Irish Paper 2 tomorrow and a good bit of cramming tonight :P

jumpguy · 13-06-2011 6:35pm

Oh yeah, OL Irish was grand too today.

There was a comprehension on John Hume and an essay on "A person I have a lot of respect for" and I said...John Hume...and paraphrased the comprehension. :P

Now that's creative thinking! :P

There was an essay about leaders of the public in higher level and a comprehension on Mary Robinson. I wonder if anyone tried the same thing =P.

Salty · 13-06-2011 7:02pm

I didn't like maths paper 2 at all!:( OL by the way! I doubt I got lower than a B1 or 2 but I really wanted the A1 after paper 1 going so well.

Irish was grand though! And the listening was a beaut!!! Definitely an A1 in the listening anyway!:D

Accounting was crap. Was the most boring and dull thing i've ever sat through, was good at it, but loord did I hate it.
I have a whole book to study tonight. This should be hilarious.
