Did anyone cheat in the HSC?
I was amazed at how easy it would have been...you hear all these stories about how they spend ages checking all your equipment on the way in, how they make you piss with the door open if you go to the bathroom mid exam to make sure your not looking at notes, how they make the girls lift up their skirts to make sure no one has got stuff written on the hem...I don't know about anyone elses school, but they didn't even glance at the stuff we brought in. In one of the exams, I accidentally brought a bit of paper in...it didn't have stuff written on it, just a scrap bit of paper that had wound up in there. The supervisors didn't say a word, and I could very well have had notes written on it.
I didn't cheat, but i probably wouldn't have been caught out if I had. Did anyone here cheat? Or know of anyone that did? Did you/they get caught?

hmm i dunno bout HSC but for trials i saw some guy stuffing his pockets with notes and he didnt get caught ~~ he prolly did same for HSC

i think its slack to cheat though.
if you ever did it, you'd feel so guilty and cheap

I 'm used to keeping around 5 to ten receipts in my wallet, and always have stuff in my pencil case. They don't bother, except on the first exam when they tell us to clear all the scrap paper out.
Never heard of them checking you when you go...

edit: oh yeah, and no. I don't need cheating.

Yeah I didn't cheat either, but I agree it would have been very easy to do so. In my language exam I had to tell the supervisors to check my dictionary to make sure there weren't notes in it.

my friend saw a girl with palm cards in her hand for the english exam, probably from up her sleeve or something. i dont see the point tho, it's not like you can write a whole essay in one palm card.. ;)

they checked our stuff more for the trials than the HSC! i was surprised about that because i heard stories about extensive checking and stuff.. the only thing they did was ask to give in tissue boxes and phones etc.

A friend of mine who was in yr 12 last year said that he went to the bathroom during some exam and there was a chemisty book behind the toilet... it would have been so easy... write on your boobs.. anything!

they dont let us bring in water and tissues but they pass around tissues and pour water for us!

A couple of people actually handed in scrap pieces of paper to the supervisors at my school lol....stupid :p and without fail there would be atleast 20 mobile phones being handed in before the exam starts! And for the general maths exam our deputy principal went around checking every single calculator checking they had nothing on it..and it was funny coz the first guy he went to check didn't have a calculator at all! But the stupid thing is that he didn't check our calculators during the business studies exam. :p
