Unless you can have a camera watching every single person (impractical) then there will always be blind spots. In a room holding over a hundred people cameras wouldn't work. And you'd need to get people to agree to it, and I believe people would have to be made aware of the cameras' existence.

My IT exam was, surprisingly, on computer & there'd been problems that week when 30 mins of the exam time were lost due to technical faults. I didn't have that problem, win.

For the last time, where there is a will there is a way. People will always come up with a method to cheat.

^ Exactly. Believe me, if there was a way that was successful, practical and financially viable they would have implemented it.

Utterly impractical but single desks in individual rooms with no chance of a bathroom break and an invigilator in each room.... that'd work.

No it wouldn't. Doesn't stop things like notes in graphics calculators (even using school ones), writing in dictionaries for language exams, and lots of other more inventive ways. I think you just need to accept that cheating exists and always will exist.

and highly impractical if you have a 100 people sitting one exam in just one school alone, that would mean 100 empty rooms and 100 people employed to watch you.

You couldnt refuse to let anyone go to the toilet,im sure theres some sort of law about that!x




There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you.
But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.

A graphic calculator? I used a scientific one, but never a graphic one... But then again, I think they may have changed the course at some point, they keep doing that...

I know alot of people who cheated in their exams, and I knew a few ways to very easily cheat (I didn't due to moral reasons)
Its really not hard, especially for A-Levels where alot of people's places in uni are on the line, people get desperate.

We just used the school ones.

In new SQA news: thirty four students given wrong results. But considering it is 34 out of around 160,000 it's not too bad.

We got to play on the school's graphic calculators :D they were awesome :D

I heard about the wrong results... I sat that exam :( I hope it's not me... I'd have heard by now if it was, I think...
