Just leave it. You got an A. Her cheating has nothing to do with how you get on in life. Let her be, she might come unstuck eventually but I don't think it's up to you to decide.

Nothing to do with you, focus on you own life.

Not her fault that your friends aren't very clever.

Good idea in theory - in practise, the OP would get a LOT of hate from that.

Subtley/annonymously tell a teacher, but say that you don't want to ruin her A-levels? She'd probably receive a warning from the teacher and would probably not risk it in June. That way, you're not responsible for wreking her A-levels but at the same time you've stopped her cheating.


I agree with this :yep:
If you really want to, warn an examiner before hand anonymously?

It is something to do with her. If someone else receives an advantage and then achieves above their means then they have effectively devalued other peoples grades. Grades are about standing out, if everyone can cheat and get the top grades then it makes the grade the OP earned worthless.

Just because they didn't get an A means they're not clever? Anybody will tell you that a lot more than just intelligence goes into an exam result. A lot more!

The way I see it, she isn't harming anyone but herself, so there is little merit in telling. Like all cheats, she'll get caught eventually.

Hi,

Basically in my Geography class before the January exam, I saw a girl writing stuff on her arm, and openly admit that she was going to cheat, a few other people saw this, but honestly I never said anything partially because of test anxiety and just being completely unsure on what to do..

So on results day, I did pretty good, (got an A :smile: ) and so did she, however she was really shouting about it and pretty much pee'd off half the class, especially some of my friends who never did as well and knew she never deserved it due to cheating.

It's really playing on my mind, because I don't really care about her, yet I don't want to wreck her A levels and consequentially her uni application. =/

Obviously it's to late to declare she's cheating 2 months after the exam, however I have a feeling she's dumb enough to do it again in June,

What would you do?


1. Let her do it again in June.
2. Tell the invigilator before hand
3. Exam starts.
4. ?????
5. PROFIT!

Seriously, she'll get what she deserves soon enough. Cheating is not the way to go.

OP, please explain who exactly would benefit from you grassing her up?

Leave it ... what goes around comes out...You just chill, with the satisfaction that its going to hit her hard one day..and just concentrate on your own work.
its a bit too late since no one will believe you but if she does it again in June, tell someone with authrity coz although it may no directly affect u, it aint fair and she should be disqualified.

u dont wanna wreck her a levels? who gives a ****, if she's stupid to write ansers on her arm, then she deserves to get what she gets
she may deny someone getting to uni or she may adjusted the grade boundary

that girl needs a :spank:

Nothing. Leave it. Not your problem. You stick to your exams, let them do what they want with theirs. That's all there is to it. Each to their own in the exams. You won't get extra marks for telling the teachers that she cheater and might cheat again. So... just ignore it. =)
I think you better go and speak to her about it, and warn her not to do it again.
