In a word, yes. Not many achieved the grades I did. Not many people have made the most of their experiences like I have (not just academically).
LOL, one thing you learn quickly about TSR is that it has a higher than average percent of students who have achieved 3 (and for a smaller but still higher than average %, 4) As at A2 and have also done AEAs etc. Just wander over onto the Oxbridge forums... Eventually your head will pop right out of your arse...
today when i sat my computing CPT1 exam i got caught cheating. i had some answers at the back of my calculator and now the college will tell AQA. i need to write a statement in my defence but not sure how. please can someone help me by telling me what sorts of things to write and if anyone has a template i can use, it will be very appreciated.
also i know i will be most likely disqualified from the exam i took but does anyone know how far AQA will go ie. will take disqualify me from the course, all my exams etc???
PS. the calculator was taken off me within a few minutes of the exam and i didnt look at it during the those few minutes.
if anybody gives this loser help they are morons i hope you get banned from all exams as thats what you deserve
u really need to chill; most of you do.
this guy's made the same mistake most of us made through high school.. etc.
he has hardly done anything morally wrong; AQA are a large exam board, he has paid them to take a test, and he has breached the contract. this isn't a moral debate, so stop throwing around names.
as for whether this is a bad thing, because any A level is competitive, if you think that, I strongly suggest you get a better perspective on the subject.
the OP has asked for help, and if you can't give it, then don't post.
OP: If I were you I would admit to it, TBH. Unless you think you could claim you didn't know? Perhaps you found the calculator somewhere..? Perhaps you forgot to take the notes out..?
All in all, confessing is the best thing. They don't need to prove you did it. It is your duty to not bring in notes.
I'm at a top five university. I got 4 A's and 2 A's at AS thank you very much.
I'll take it that was meant to be directed at me? You're still nothing special. And quite frankly, I'm amazed you got into any university that interviews with your attitude. How did your head fit through the office door?

Word from a fellow UCL-er, stop being big-headed about the grades. Grades are not a complete measure of intelligence, my friend.
On topic- no sympathy. Very tempting to cheat in exams I guess if you dont know the material, but you do eventually realise that the chance of being disqualified for years isnt worth risking.

lol Computing is logical, not something you need to CHEAT!
Computing might be logical, AQA computing exams are not logical, I dare you to give one of those to a Computer Science major with work experience and he is going to fail it. You have to memorize the answers they expect you to give, and understand pseusocode that makes no sense except to people who make the exams.
Anyway, I would be more sympathetic towards your story if you hadn't come here to ask for a template for an apology... I mean, everybody makes mistakes and I myself have cheated in the past, I was a lot younger than I am now but the consequences I faced then taught me a lesson. Even if the pressure is imense there is no excuse for you to achieve better in an exam than what you deserve, and what you deserve is what you know. Seems pretty obvious, but clearly not to you. If you are thinking that your life is over because of this, it is not. We all make mistakes. But trust me, if you keep this atitude, taking the easy way after you have cheated(a template for a serious apology? come on... you know better.) you will never have a life. So my advice to you is as many have said, face the consequences as an adult, be truthful about your intentions and take the lesson for life.
For all of you making quick judgmenets, I am sure you too have done s*** in your life you are not proud of, we all are human.
Good luck to the gal or guy who started the thread.
