I only did it for the dumb shit like homework which was a waste of time. Exams were impossible to cheat in.

On rare occasions if I didn't study beforehand

No. My peers didn't get the same grades I did. I was better off doing everything myself. :win:

Depends on what you mean but I have never "cheated" if that involves any form of plagiarism (including copying other peoples work or illegitimately acquiring answers to tests etc).

I have and continue to experiment with all sorts of "smart drugs", including prescription-only ones like ritalin and modafinil, though. I guess it is "cheating" in a very abstract sense since I do have an unfair advantage in that I get more studying done with them than without them (and a lot, probably most, of people do not use them).

I used to use 60 mg Adoral before an exam- that's not cheating,- just optimization.

If you eat healthy foods and get a good nights rest you get a similar benefit. It's just that with today's standards of HW- especially those rediculous AP courses and evil teachers that's not
Practical.

Shit yeah. I've cheated since senior year of high school. I cheated all through college. Guess what? Never got caught and it hasn't negatively impacted my job. When you graduate from school, companies just expect you to know the basics. They teach you everything else. If you work hard at your job, and people like you, you'll go far. Nobody even cares what your gpa is once you have a job.

Wait what? You use drugs to study? You a sick madafaka you know that?

Yup, let me briefly describe to you the difference it can make: in the first year of uni, I didn't use anything. And on the 3 weeks "break" I had before all my exams in May, I typically got 3-6 hours of serious studying done (its very easy to half-listen to a lecture but reading a Physics textbook/notes and doing problems isn't so easy). Discovered the whole world of nootropics in the beginning of my second year and started experimenting. As the finals of the 2nd year approached in April again, that month, on the best days where I would use my base stack of safe drugs (including the best racetams with tolerance issues like phenyl) with an amphetamine throughout the day, I would get 12+ hours of serious studying done. No ****ing joke.

Im physically active / healthy and get 8 hours of sleep daily. I also never have any issues with concentration during exams and if you don't either, I don't see why you are using an amphetamine for that - seems a very noob-ish thing to do. Use that adderall, alternated with another amphetamine (not a good idea to use a single drug of this class more than once a week imo), every Saturday/Sunday during studying hours instead and see where that gets you -even an extra 2 hours per day with use will get you 40 extra hours of work a term (assuming a term of 10 weeks).

And for people who want no risk, check out the completely legal and safe class of drugs known as the racetams (piracetam etc). They are not as powerful as amphetamines but are still a far better and more powerful (especially if you stack them) alternative to caffeine.

I quite did, actually. It was the last assessment and year for Business subject, which I had trouble finishing. My friend got it done, so I copied his work and I ended up passing the subject with grade C.

That was the only time I cheated.

No word of a lie, I literally used my phone for my A Levels exam. We had some fat exam invigilator and he couldn't be bothered walking up and down so he literally pulled up a chair and sat at the front of the hall. Lord knows I got an A on that exam.

A group of us at school used to "discuss" homework/Assignments for our subjects like Math,Physics,Chem,Econs,English etc. If that's what you count as cheating, then so be it. However, I myself never actually cheated in an exam/test.

Although I used to let people copy off me in Math if they were desperate. It's a shame really, since the subjects where it's relatively easy to copy(like Calculus, Physics), were the subjects I was good at. OTOH, subjects like English, where you can't exactly copy off in an Exam, were my "weaker" subjects. Life just isn't fair sometimes. Lol

Never, really. Most of the time I got better than the people in my class. It was other people coming to me for help before a Calculus or Biology test. I remember a couple of occurrences. Last year on the Chemistry exam, it was like 14 pages long, and the guy beside me (whom I knew but we weren't that close friends) copied the last 3 pages I did and I was completely oblivious to him looking until the end when I saw him glaring at my paper. I had to teach the entire introduction to evolution part of biology to 4 people who sat beside me because apparently I understood it better. In any sense, I never cheated. But I have done work with other people that was otherwise supposed to be a single person's homework (like a chemistry paper me and my best friend both worked on together and split the work and then copied what we both did).

Not anymore. I cheated twice before, one during an English exam back in o '11 and the other during a different English exam in o '12. Basically, what I did (on both occasions) was printed out my essay on an A4 piece of paper and hid it in my bag with the zipper open. IThe bag was placed between my legs, so whenever I wanted to look at my essay and copy some parts of it into the exam paper, I could just simply look down. This cheating method wasn't obvious since my head was always looking down, as I was writing. All I had to do was flex my neck & head a little bit more and tahh dahh... there's an entire prepared essay in front of me that I could just copy down.

I wasn't the only one cheating in the 2012 exam. In fact, more than half of my classmates cheated as well. Some people hid their tiny notes in their pencil cases, while others brought their phones with them and hid it under obstacles on their tables (e.g. their jumpers). I was pretty certain our teacher knew some of us cheated that day... but she was an old hag who didn't really care about us. Lol

This was all back in high school, though. I'm in uni now and there were times when I could have easily cheated in uni exams but didn't. It's probably because I'm scared of being caught red-handed (especially when your more imporant exams comes in the latter stages of your school life and thus the consequences of being caught cheating are bigger) and the fact that I found other ways to improve my memory skills (one of the reasons why I cheated in the first place was because I couldn't remember my examinable notes).
