French GCSE written controlled assessment, Just copied down my notes 😂.
I'll say mine - I cheated in an RS exam last week.
Because other sets had done the test before us, we knew what the 12 mark question would be (AQA) and about a month ago our - very organised - teacher gave us a revision sheet with really simple clear points.
So I folded the sheet in half and put it in my bag, with the points for the 12 mark question facing up so I could see it, and I could just copy it off. I just needed a point from an Islamic view on equality.
The teacher didn't see as she was sitting at the front of the room marking Year 8 books. And I sit alone in RS so nobody else knew.
I don't have the results yet for this test by the way.

You've posted this on a public forum, just saying. No one has to snake for you to get found out.

oh well that's a shame
i have haha end of unit mini test for physics (GCSE back then) and me and my seating partner had our notes under the text book :lol:
I accidentally cheated on some psychology mock exams. I had done revision by using the specimen papers available to everyone online and had done them multiple times, only for my mock exam to be that paper I had done at least 3 times. I knew the answers so well I had to be careful not to write my answer like the mark scheme. My teacher did not tell us that our mock paper would be the papers available online, so I guess it isn't really my fault as I was doing what a good student would do. Oops.

that's not really cheating, you're doing some really great revision. you must've been so lucky though!
writing it like the mark scheme would of course show some suspicion so hopefully the teacher didn't clock

No she didn't. I deliberately got some questions wrong or left out sentences to lose marks so I got a decent grade of a B.
Yeah, in one of my English exams in year 9 I wrote the essay at home and brought it in as if I wrote it on the day lolol

French GCSE writing assessment - everyone in the class printed out mini versions of what they were going to write and stuck it in their french dictionaries (allowed them while writing)

The odd class test maybe but never in a proper exam - I’m sometimes tempted but honestly it just isn’t worth it, for so many reasons.
In a class chemistry test, someone managed to find the answers online before hanf
