Cheating In Exams – An Art

Every student definitely knows about the concept of cheating in exams. This trend is popular in almost all over the world. In fact, in the most progressive countries like UK, USA, too. Basically to cheat in exams means to give exams with illegal ways. Like if a student doesn’t prepare for his exams properly then it carries some material in which different solutions of their courses are written which he didn’t learn. He thinks that he will give paper by using them. Some students successfully give their exams by cheating and some are caught red handed. Because cheating in exams is an illegal way and a proper law as well as strict actions exist against this activity in the world.

Students are very genius. Their minds are very sharp. Some are very intelligent in studies and some use their sharp and active mind in illegal activities. Let’s take the example of cheating. A lot of students use a variety of techniques to cheat in the exams. Sometimes the techniques are very creative on which human’s wisdom is really astonished and people think that if a student uses this sharpness in his studies then he will be on top. So, due to such amazing creativity, the method of cheating in exams has become an art. A creative art which any student can use while giving his paper. Come I tell you that how much and which type of creative cheating techniques are famous in the world.

Well first of all we talk about carrying small papers in exams in which materials related to the subject is written. This method is the most easy and popular cheating method. These small papers are commonly called “pharrey” in Urdu. Some students carry these papers in exams by keeping them in their sleeves of shirts, in the socks, in the belts and I saw some cases to hide these papers in the undergarments of students. But mostly students are caught by using this method. Not only this but also students performed research on making this paper small and small to hide easily. The result of this research is shown in the form of “micro”. Photostat machine operators use micro technique to make the written material on the paper small and small which becomes the cause of reducing the size of the paper more and more. This becomes very easy to take these papers in the exams and hide them easily.

Now I tell you what happened when I was giving my exam of second year. On that time, the trend of mobile phones was boosting. In the paper of Physics, A student in my row was sitting and giving the paper. Two headphones were put in his both ears. First time external came and checked him. Asked about the reason of these headphone then he said that I am deaf and this is the ear instrument due to which I can listen. On that time, mobile phones are not so much popular that’s why the external believed him and leave him. So he did paper normally. Suddenly another external of higher level came to that student and stand him up, opened the button of his shirt and pick out a small walk-man. All the people in the examination hall were shocked including me. Then everyone knew that student recorded his material’s conversation in the walk-man and was using it as cheating. So this was the very creative technique of cheating I have ever seen.

But now, with the development of technology, many creative techniques of cheating have been introduced. Students use their hand, legs and other body parts to write their course material to take in the examination hall. In Pakistan, trend of cheating can also be seen during exams. Either the exams of Matric or Intermediate, students cheat in their paper with the help of different methods. I saw many times such cases that the administration of many schools is involved to help the students for cheating. Paper out is the other popular method. Although, it doesn’t come in the category of proper cheating but is an illegal activity. Just before atleast one day or some hour of starting the exams, the paper of that subject got out. Means some resources got the paper and sell them to the students on a costly price. That’s why Pakistani boards of secondary and intermediate education always prepare 3 papers of every subject which are called A, B and C papers. If the one is get out then others are used in exams.

As I am a professional SEO and internet search expert, one day while searching, I found a website which is specially made of different techniques of cheating to be used in the exams. I was really astonished :-) The site is "cheatinexams.com" which contains many tricks and tips of cheating. So what shall I do? Internet has become so advance. Everything is available on it. So whatever we say about cheating but as a fact, it is illegal. Students who pass their exams through cheating have no future because the ability of students doesn’t grow. And one time a student is successful in cheating to pass his exams then he becomes confident to cheat more in the future exams. So by cheating and help to expand it, a nation wastes its talent and can never grow in the field of education, science and technology.
