No-one does it in case an invigilator walks past and thinks it is from before the exam. It's a risky move that causes unnecessary hassles.

As if you'll need notes by that stage anyway - it's pointless. If you revise efficiently there's no need to cheat

Classic trick. Teachers are often left in an awkward position if girls do that since they could be called out for inappropriate conduct just for even looking there in the first place. Although it seems like it should be relatively clear cut, it's likely a tricky position for teachers and most can't be bothered risking their careers over it. If it was reported by someone else though, not sure why they didn't do anything.

You do realize that in order for us to get ATARs of 80-90+, there has to be people at the other end of the spectrum right?
