    I did my mocks and I got a 9 in Bio, 5 in Chem and 7 in Physics. My teacher didn't count my Biology mark because she thought I "cheated". Other students had access to the set of papers while I didn't. I worked so hard for Biology. My teacher even said she knew I didn't cheat because of my answers. I ended up getting a 5-5 overall. So gutted as I would've got a 7-7 if the Biology mark was counted :(

    In my last mocks. I got a 9 in chemistry, a 9 in physics and a 5 in biology. Because of the inconsistencies in my physics and biology paper my physics teacher accused me of cheating and was going to mark my paper as a U if I hadn't provided some form of evidence. So I basically had to call in the invigilators and my seat number for them to confirm I didn't cheat. Silenced my physics teacher in a bitter sweet manner.

    the main problem i find is that the majority of people cheat. some people in my classes sit with the answers on their phone and copy it and suddenly get a great grade, which reflects poorly on me and others who didn’t cheat. if we don’t at least look at the paper or mark scheme before doing the exam, we get lower grades and seem like we are doing something wrong when in fact the people who maybe don’t understand as much are cheating a lot. for this year, some of the mocks were written and taken from lots of exams which i preferred as i know that revision and hard work will come through and the students who just cheat will be clear.

    I feel like as students we should make use of past papers, mark schemes and examiners reports but it is more about how we use these resources. I don't memorise specifics for specific papers, I like to practice exam technique, read examiner reports to see where students frequently lose marks and then if I was to use the mark scheme the only thing I may try to remember is the language for the levels for example "Clear and coherent response". This alongside lots of revision is all you need to succeed, you really do not need to memorise the answers as this will not help you in the real exam, although by using past papers you will be able to identify patterns that are consistent year after year.

    I am shocked at the number of young people and teachers who blur the borders of cheating and honesty in a Mock exam. Let me spell it out. If the teacher defines what past paper they will use as a Mock and students are forewarned, then that is cheating. If a teacher goes through a past paper and uses that past paper as a Mock, then that is cheating. If, however, students on their own volition, find past papers on the internet and work through them, this cannot be cheating as the papers are open access and equally available for all students. If students use any notes, marks on their bodies or any disallowed electronic device to assist themselves with answering a question, this is cheating. Invigilators who turn a blind eye to cheating in an exam are an embarrassment to the school and need to be fired if it can be shown quite clearly that they are in collusion with a student using unfair advantage to improve their grade. Invigilators must patrol frequently but should not linger near one student as this could be off-putting. Wanding should be employed on all occasions a student leaves / enters the exam room to visit the loo. CHEATING IS UNFAIR AND AN AFFRONT TO THOSE HONEST STUDENTS WHO HAVE WORKED HARD TO TARGET A TOP GRADE.

    • @kiera6326
      @kiera6326 2 роки тому +1

      Yes, it is an affront, but not a catastrophe. It’s impossible to cheat entirely from scratch in an exam. If you haven’t studied at all/ do not have some sort of skill in the subject area, you will fail the exam even if you cheat. It absolutely does not help that exams are defined dates which cannot be moved regardless of circumstance that may cause students to “sacrifice” a subject, or at least take liberties on it such as this. The system is literally designed to prevent the majority of students from getting top grades in an effort to preserve elitism. I’m sure it’s very disheartening to get a top grade on a subject and find out somebody else who also got that grade didn’t strictly apply to the ridiculous expectations required for an exam, despite the fact that this outcome has no impact on said student, but failing said exam, feeling worthless, unable to achieve when people around you etc would make you feel much, much worse. The invigilator who turns a blind eye to this is arguably a better person than those who would not. Invigilators should never have been employed in the first place as they are always off-putting, and someone cheating on an exam is only the end of the world when the people in it decide that there should only be so many people who can get into top universities to get top jobs with top salaries so that the rich can stay as rich as possible

      @@kiera6326 Kiera, you raise several points: (1) The degree of cheating does not matter to be deemed a cheat. Just like if you steal a 5 p item from a shop, rather than a £5 item; (2) Exams need to be timetabled as everyone knows what is happening and when, and can plan their revision around them. By holding the same exam at the same time on the same day, there are less chances of friends informing others about what questions to expect; (3) I don't think the system is designed to protect elitism. Exams, whilst very stressful, are probably one of the fairest methods to assess who is "competent" from who is not in a given subject. There are a few people who suffer unduly from exams, and these may need support to help them cope during an exam. If you don't pass an exam, you are not worthless. Anything but. Either you lack subject knowledge or you have not carried out a time appreciation for each question, or you are unwell . You may even detest that particular subject. This can happen; (4) Invigilators are there to do a job, as they are paid specifically to do this job and uphold the standards expected; (5) The current system expects most students to go to university. This was never the case years ago. Only the top 10% or 20% would go to university. The rest would find apprenticeships and learn on the job; (6) A good education may not deliver wealth. New money comes from: (a) Online businesses; (b) Market Trading Stocks and FOREX; (c) Online property. Thank you, all the same, for your response.
