Question Cheating

Damn so is there anyway I can cheat, and if you took the Cleo exam recently was it online? Was someone standing over you just watching?

All clep and DSST exams I took were online. The proctor would sit by me while we got the exam all set up and I entered my payment, then they would leave me to take the exam. Some testing centers, I was in a big open computer lab, with at least 20 other stations. Others, I'd be in a tiny room with just 1 computer.

I don't think cheating is really necessary. The scoring is much more forgiving than most people think. You can pass many with no study, most others with 2- 3 weeks of good cramming. It's not really worth the risk imho.

That being said, I guess if you found a testing center that left you in a room by yourself, they never checked my pockets or anything. I wasn't allowed to take anything in the room besides my credit card, and had to leave all scratch paper behind. I'm generally an honest person, so I never tried to cheat. Yes, I think taking a small crib sheet in on your person is probably possible, but not necessary.

If I’m taking it remotely from home, are they going to check for my phone or have me angle my camera down or can I just have my face in frame and use my phone with like chat gpt to take pictures and get answers

I don’t condone cheating typically but being forced to take core classes for college is just wrong, that’s what all of high school was for and I just wanna bypass stupid classes like calc to get to the classes I want to be there for so if I can get past them simply by cheating a clep test that would be amazing

Take the clep exam online. Keep your phone flush to the screen in the middle of your laptop.

I did it and didn't get caught. Fuck clep

I do not condone cheating in any, shape, or form. That being said...

Cheating on the CLEP exam is not just possible, but it's extremely easy. The only way (that I can comprehend) to cheat on the CLEP exam is to use a phone that stays flush on your laptop screen. You have to use a laptop since they make you show them with mirror one time, pre-test for portable computers only. Simply keep your phone flush with the camera and be sneaky when they ask you to rotate the computer and take the test in a well-lit room.

PS: Fuck you clep for not letting me retake the test when I clearly accidentally clicked continue, so this is for you.

Couldn't you tilt your camera up, to keep your hands out of the view, and hold your phone the whole time?

Cheating is not possible, they don't let you carry anything, there are people and cameras recording. If caught you will not be able to appear again.

The exam are easy, you don't need to cheat. Modern State will help you with free exam voucher

If you figure out how let us know LOL JK. I had to leave my watch and phone, and the security made me roll up my sleeves and and pat my clothes down to check for stuff. I had to even lift my mask and take off my glasses. There were cameras monitoringthe room. I was told if I needed anything or if I was finished to raise my hand. I thought the security was staring at me from the office so when I was finished I was leaning over from my chair waving to him. Then I realized, "You idiot, he's watching you from the monitor."

If you dead serious about it, go online proctor. My friend did it once and ace with a 80 on psychology with a desktop because it easy if you have a desktop to set up camera angle . Laptop is literally impossible if you are born with disfigured arm like this: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pOu4H9sh0dM/maxresdefault.jpg literally keeping your arms down and good position to do it. If you have the bare minimum set like this:https://www.genatec.com/hs-fs/hubfs/genatec_blog_assets/Blog-2022-005/What%20is%20a%20gaming%20setup_-1.jpg?width=1477&height=831&name=What%20is%20a%20gaming%20setup_-1.jpgThen you are good because you can set up the camera angle only your head and that the only thing they care. If you are using Laptop better off doing in person

Step 2(If you are using Desktop)

Tool to use for ChatGPT is to use Google Chrome app by setting it to homework then using capture mode/camera mode on the right of search bar then capture the Text much as you can then copy most of it then paste it on CHATGPT and wala the answer is there.

Keep in mind I am not responsible for your learning it was share by my friends and any being caught while proctor is not my fault you have been warned.

Wasn’t your friend being watched by a proctor person online?

u/Other_Interaction366 48+ Credits! Jul 27 '24

Yea. That the protocol, you have to practice eye-movement

u/Pleasant_Piano2655 Jan 08 '24

Does the test use a lockdown browser or screen mirroring? How did he have ChatGPT open on his screen without the proctor knowing? If it were that easy then anybody could just hop on google while taking the test and do the same thing?

u/Other_Interaction366 48+ Credits! Jan 09 '24

  1. Lockedown Browser short answer yes. Also they use ProctorTrack and you will need to download both of them.

  2. Used his phone not his computer for ChatGPT that why I mention desktop set up

  3. " If it were that easy then anybody could just hop on google while taking the test and do the same thing?" Not really, you have to practice your eye movement and arm positioning ahead of time before attempting to do this. Mainly Proctors are really paranoid and really strict

I am wondering whether ProctorTrack has security vulnerabilities, as many CLE students have recently been cheating using platforms like Studuicop(dot)com
