RE: Have you ever cheated in school?
The last time I cheated was Year 9. Back then, I knew that I was dropping a few subjects at the end of the year, and had absolutely no motivation to work in the subject. So I would write down answers and put it in my pencil case.
I never cheated in subjects that I took public examinations, because I want to feel the satisfaction of knowing that I got 100% in a test or something.
I think the older you are, the harder it is to cheat in exams. Mainly because of the sheer amount of stuff you have to learn makes in impracticle to write it down on small bits of paper.
Also, in subjects where you write long prose (like English Lit, or Business Studies), its extremely difficult to write notes.
However, when revising for my AS Levels, I thought of an ingenious way to revise. I prented that I was going to cheat, and tried to fit as much of the formulas and stuff in Chemistry on parts of my body. I never intended to cheat, but the process of selecting relevent data, and making it concise enough to fit on my little finger drove the information into my mind.
