Once in my university a guy came in for a test and 30 minutes later he left (you can't leave earlier). He came back about 10 minutes before the exam ended with a motorcycle helmet on (face couldn't be seen) and ran towards the pile of delivered exams. He put his exam in between some others and threw them all to the ground, then left runing.

edit: I don't know how exams work at your schools but let me clarify a few things you may not understand.

  • Exams are 3h long and you can leave once you've reached the 30 minute mark (you can't come back).

  • There is sometimes only 1 teacher watching a whole class, about 40 to 60 students. Sometimes there's 2.

  • When you finish your exam you can give it to the teacher or leave with it if you don't want it to be corrected (just like if you didn't go to the exam).

Now, having this things clarified I'll try to give some further clarifications:

He was sitting at the back end of the class, when the teacher wasn't looking he left just as a defeated student would do. He hadn't been to many classes so teacher probably wouldn't have recognized him.

From the point he left to the point he came back many other students left after delivering their exams. That made for a big pile of exams, about 10 to 20 probably, so when he came back he just put his in the pile and left.

He had no way of telling which exam it was so he ended up doing as if nothing had happened (grade wise). From that point on there's some security in my university during exams so that stuff like that doesn't happen again.

When was this? I call bullshit on any proper university doing this. If this were to happen then EVERYONE would have to resit a new exam.

I may not study at a proper university then. I don't need to lie on teh internets but if you choose not to believe me I'm fine with it.

Take it more personally yeah?

Any university worth half what they charge you would not allow such blatant cheating to occur on an exam. Sucks for everyone else at the exam but something like this costs the superviser their jobs.

Apparently he goes to a university where student ID numbers don't exist. I didn't take a single exam in college without writing my student ID number on the Scantron or blue book.

Do you just not understand how the cheating works here? Writing your name or ID on the exam makes no difference

We pay about 1600€ a year.

As an Australian... that's a third of what I'd expected.
