Cheating on Test

A few days later, Monday, 20 April 2009, Indonesian students will have National Final Examination (UAN) starting from Senior High School (SMA) at that date. Junior High School (SMP) will be the next week and be followed by students of Elementary School (SD) at the next month.

So, these days can be the busiest days for students. Believe it? Not at all. Honestly, not all students make good plans to face the final exam. Some prefer study hard and hard. Some join many courses or try out to prepare the mental. The rests rely on God’s helps. Which one do you belong to? Or you have another method to prepare the “battle”?

In many places – in many schools – the busiest person to face the exam is NOT the student, but the TEACHER. He or she feels worry about the students if they will not pass the exam. Do the students have the same feeling?

The time runs by. Many preparation have been tried to apply. But, one thing, should the students have a last defend – trick or cheat. For some students, it’s not the last defend but first trial or the only strength they have.

Here are some tips cheating for dummies:

• Ask to go to the bathroom

Pretty simple. If you have a difficult problem of answering the question, you may ask permission to visit the bathroom. You may hope that there will be many possible answer that may help you. The password is: “Sir (Mom), may I wash my hands?”

• Go silent your phone

It will be destroy everything if your phone alerts. The whole class will kill you due to your disturbance. It's almost safe if the girls wear veil. It can cover the phone because they can use wired ear-phone. But it must be known that the veil must not be used for cheating.

• Watch out your little book.

Students little book is the secret weapon to face in the tests. They can write with the unusual font size, very little. But beware of the book, never make it fall down.

• Use your own language

It’s very helpful if you have your own language or special coding. Applying this method seems to have little risk but still have to more careful and perfect preparation.

• Don’t use your body painting.

Painting body? No, I mean, just writing some cheat-notes in thigh, palm, or any other parts of body. Some girls often found to write cheat-note on the thigh, or arm - especially if they wore short/mini skirt or long sleeve uniform. even they may hide the note inside their uuppps, sorry but, it also often happen. Do you think it is very helpful? (helpful for the boys ....... hahaha)

• Learn magic trick

We may wonder to the magician who can make money appear and disappear. If you can not maintain the trick, don’t dream it will help you.


There are still so many other tricks the students can apply. However, the teacher also have almost the same things, because they were students too. But, like proverb, thieves are cleverer than the police will happen in this discussion, because the students will try fo find the innovation of making safe cheating methods.


How to NOT get caught cheating

When cheating in an exam, the most important thing is NOT getting caught. So, how do you not get caught?

1. Don’t be nervous. Be confident. Have faith in your methods, know that you won’t get caught. If that’s the way you’re thinking about things, then you won’t get caught. Simple as that.
2. Don’t look around too much! Only look around when you really need to see if a teacher is near. If a teacher sees you looking around a lot, that can make them suspicious of you.
3. When a teacher walks past, act calm. Pretend that you don’t care, and don’t look at them! - The look on your face can tell them a lot of things. Just sit and look at your exam paper as if you’re thinking and pretend to write things down, then scribble it out after they walk past.
4. All in all, just be NORMAL. Be yourself.

If You're Caught

• Deny, Deny, Deny: Never admit cheating --- ever! Invent a plausible story. If you stick to your story, say it enough times with enough conviction and emotion, they'll start to doubt themselves. Once they doubt, their conscience will bother them: after all, what if they're making a mistake when a mistake could ruin someone's life?
• Badger: Go to their office to plead your case and don't take no for an answer --- don't leave their office until they give in. Most people won't call the police on you, so keep saying you're going to leave but don't leave. Eventually, most profs get frustrated and figure it's not worth the effort.
• Squeaky Wheel: if you raise a big enough stink far enough up the line, they'll cave in because it's not worth the trouble. And if they don't, their boss or their boss's boss will.
• Ignorance: If possible, say you didn't know it was wrong.
• Remorse: if the evidence is really against you, cry uncontrollably. Sob about how one small mistake will ruin your whole life and your family's lives.
• Not on the Syllabus: argue that since it wasn't specifically prohibited on the syllabus, it wasn't prohibited.
