    If you're 100% sure that it's true, then yes. I would anyway.

    It's too late now. It would be your word against theirs.

    However, I'm sure the SEC would be interested in how such a thing could have happened. Papers are held in Garda stations beforehand, and in sealed packages inside locked metal boxes in the school. If they got the papers before the exam, someone somewhere is covering up for them, or worse still (from the SEC's point of view) someone along the trusted chain (drafters, setters, printers, proofers etc.) has broken the trust. That would be a really big deal to the SEC.

    I just re-read things. You mean you saw ONE question and on the strength of that thought they had the whole paper, or you saw that they had a complete paper?

    Even if it was the same question, anything untoward would be almost impossible to prove.

    Go on tell on them!!!! it serves them right! Just wondering, would their whole leaving cert be void if they were caught though? They will probably hate you for the rest of their lives if it is, are you sure you want that on your conscience.

    caught cheating in your leaving cert is drastic, your exams are void and you cannot sit another state exam. That means you can't get a full drivers license.

    Don't tell on them, ok so they might get an A1 where it wasn't deserved, but it isn't worth ruining their lives over it


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,281 ✭✭✭Stevek101


    Basically if these two yokes make me have to resit this exam and because of you telling. I won't be happy. In fact its probably too late now.

    Why did you post this on the internet?! Seriously It was an easy paper.

    After seeing your post and thinking it was a bit silly I reread it all... She had the supposed ABQ after the test just like everyone else...

    Ugh people can be so stupid and paranoid can't they? The_Dazzler get over it and move on to something more important in life. If you done bad and want to avenge it on these poors girls don't.

    Go buy an ice cream

    But why would she ask to look at the papers after the exam...i think she means she read the abq before the test......surely she's not stupid enough to read it afterwards think it was leaked...


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,126 ✭✭✭Gileadi


    lots of people asked for the spare copies of the exams once the time was up in my centre since you have to handup the whole paper in business and they wanted to go through it with their friends,probly what happened here if im reading it right....

    paranoia mayhaps


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 728 ✭✭✭randomfella


    One word springs to mind - Blackmail

    But i doubt they had the actual ABQ

    Exactly.

    What would you want - to rat this person out and get her in such serious problems? Failing the whole leaving cert just for the sake of a few points? Not only will she hate ya, but others will to. Its just low, I really think you should get over it. And I do believe its false alligations.

    She got a spare from the examiner at the end, and read it outside.

    You presumed she had it before the exam starts which I highly doubt as its in the Cops station, locked. If you got a friend in the cop station to open the case, u will realise its sealed. If its opened and the examiner gets it - its been leaked, exam possibly cancelled.

    If she arrived in school that morning, the examiner isnt allowed open it untill a few moments before the exam starts. Examiner opens the locked box, gets the sealed scripts, requests it to be signed by 2 witnesses confirming its sealed and then gets them ready to hand out. If its the case when they were opened she got a hold of it - then those 2/3 mins wont do much. Iv never heard anyone learn a LOT in the space of a few moments. Even if she did somehow get it and managed to learn something in the 2/3 moments its not going to have a huge influence on the exam - its a bit late like? And others will see it..

    So ya, your theroy is out :P
