Cheating on your exams.

Exams today for the most part are not about learning but more about regurgitating information you basically crammed into your head instead of actually understanding the material. It just doesn't encourage learning but rather turning your head into a portable hard drive.

c)for what, if I understand the matter...

If you know and understand the subject, then there is no need to cheat. If you've learnt it properly, then there is no need to cheat.
The way I see it, 'cheating' shouldn't be encouraged but it isn't wrong in my view. All it means is that you haven't learnt it all properly.

On my teens I loved skipping the lunch line, because it required ninja tactics when there's around 10-30 people in front of you as hungry as you are and will fight to the death when their position is threatned.
I've been caught before on both occasions but I'll honestly never be able to stop. It's just too fun. Of course I don't cheat when I don't have to, unless I'm playing some board game and blatantly cheat (and give hints that I'm doing it) so I can annoy the hell out of people.
My fame preceeds me with my friends and family, so I use this a tool to get their attention outside the game and further secure my victory. By being a cheater gives you certain gifts even when the act's not commited.
But when it comes to cheating online games I completely despise the act as it requires no skill (most cheaters just download stuff to exploit the game) and it's easy to cheat in a game there's no people constantly eyeing you and doesn't require a sly and skillful hand.
People that cheat on online games are like petty thiefs.

In reply to the topic question, I believe cheating is wrong. I never have and I never will. I remember this particular test when the teacher had the answering sheet on his desk and I was sitting near his desk (and so was my friend). I did not read the sheet even though I may have been able to. My friend did look at that answer sheet (well, the part we could see from under the teacher's bag). Guess the end result? I passed with a 7 out of 10 and she failed by a 5 out of 10. I believe you should pass in honesty, knowing it was you who did that, not some other classmate and not some book (assuming you're not allowed to use one). I think cheating is unfair. Of course, it is up to the individual person and their own choice, but I do not support it in any way. If you pass by cheating then you didn't really do well yourself.

That shouldn't matter. Cheating is cheating, it's as simple as that. It's your fault if you didn't study for an exam/test/quiz. Sure, you may never use the material taught to you, but then you never know. In high school, your grades matter because colleges will look at them. In Europe it's a bit different, but the goal is the same: the better you do, the higher your chances of an institution of higher learning accepting you. If you cheat, you're only cheating yourself. Suck it up, admit you don't know something, and move on. Don't stoop to cheating because if you cheat on your test, what's to stop you from cheating on other things?

Biologically enhanced computers aren´t science fiction anymore.
You´re in school, university or whatever not to train your dickhead to one specific topic which you never leave again. Fine, if you want to narrow your mind like this have fun, but at least own up to it.

I cheat the shit outta the book and the people on history class tests. It's so fun to be as careful as a cat and just when the teacher turns the back you hit the shit and pull the book out. It's adrenaline, as Overdose said. It's just too fun .
