Some great ideas! Also, forget the multiple choice. Give them open-ended questions and then it becomes even harder to cheat. It made them so nervous to have me behind them… maybe I need to change my room around. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account.

Skip to content Search for: Search Close. Close Menu. Cheating drives teachers crazy. The official reasons are: We want kids to be honest, We want to protect the sanctity of our grades: one year at our school a large group of Honors-level students wanted to stand-up and walk out of the ceremony when the Valedictorian gave his speech because they felt he had successfully cheated his way to the top.
We want to reward hard work instead of laziness. The state testing requires a cheat-free environment. Blah…blah…blah The real reason why teachers hate cheating is that we hate when a kid tricks us, or gets one over on us. Or so we think I know that the real way to keep students from cheating is to not give tests or quizzes. You must move around the room. You cannot just hang out behind your desk on the computer or even at the podium.
Walk rows. Hang out in the back. Look at open backpacks etc… Have students move to a different seat before taking exam. Put the front row kids in the back and vice versa- that way it will break up the routine that encourages the perception of a regular spot for cheating. Have students spread seats apart or move students so there is more space. Have students close backpacks or put them in the front of the room.
I think closing them is good enough Have students remove jackets. You can just put a cheat sheet on the inside lapel of a jacket and lean forward- the jacket poofs out and you can see the sheet. When the teacher comes by you just lean back and BOOM cheat sheet gone. Have students roll up sleeves. Cheat sheets and other devices are easily stored up a sleeve. Too bad for all the people behind you, though.
You know how when you take a test you have to use one of those scantron things? Well, the scantrons are very sensitive.
Just a smudge can turn a right answer into a wrong one and supposedly a wrong one into a right one. If anything, additional or extraneous marks on test sheets more likely prompt a result opposite to the one sought by the cheater: Questions answered correctly will be scored as incorrect. Lore regarding supposed methods of beating the Scantron machine is not limited to the smearing of lip products on test forms.
One fellow swears around he encountered a rumor that connecting all the marks on the side of the sheet with a pencil or pen would produce the magic perfect score. I just thought I could address some of the points. This is totally wrong. Scantron or any bubble sheet readers use the black marks, called timing marks, down the side of the sheet to tell the machine when to read across the sheet.
The machine not only reads the marks but also counts them. Interfering with these marks causes the machine to spit out the answer sheet ungraded.
The programs that score the sheets look for correct answers, not incorrect answers. I used to be the principal of blue ridge high school. Also note that answers being bubbled in will not interfere with this process, so it is a good idea to go ahead and fill in the answers that you think are correct just in case.
Sadly the bright colors from the markers may cause a teacher to grade the test manually. I have been told by a Chem prof. Chapstick might have worked in earlier days, buy inhibiting electrical conductivity. Posted by nigga driggs on Thu Jan 24, at PM. Dont break the chain of cabbaccabbac.

Just study for the damn test. Yea but the problem with marking the 'Answer Key' bubble is that, all of yours will be right but everyone else's will not, so the teachers might catch on. That thing about the answer key is funny. I'm a teacher who uses scantron sheets sometimes, and the answer key thing will never work. When you operate one of these machines, you have to hold down a special key and the machine responds with a "load key" prompt. Otherwise, if you just load it through without the button, it will send an error message and you have to restart your grading process.
The teacher will most likely erase your little bubble snafu and run your answer sheet back through for a score. If that doesn't work, your teacher will grade it by hand. Reading this thread, it seems that students no longer understand that it is their job to learn the material in their classes. Oh god. None of you guys can spell, no wonder you are cheating. There is no way of cheating.
Millions of people do this test. Do you really think that people would be stupid enough to risk a loophole? Didn't think so. Stick to your textbooks and you'll be fine. Posted by Mollie.
