cheats

If they cheat resulting in a higher SAC ranking than you and then screw up their exam it is YOUR SAC ranking that could be moderated down.

LOL really? I thought that it only affected their SAC scores? What if you do brilliantly on the exam?

There has been exceptions like that where rank 1x would get the highest study score despite being ranked so low but the general consensus is that rank 1 will get the highest exam mark for their sac scores but who knows how VCAA works

You should be aiming for top ranks nonetheless because it's likely you will get scaled down if you're in a weak cohort and have a low rank

I remember cheating on a spelling test in French in year nine. I topped my class and I felt like crap.

If people are idiotic enough to cheat on a sac and do well, while they're rewarded by a number they won't feel any sort of reward in terms of self esteem.

Unless they're mentally screwed up that is.

No but seriously. You have control over you and your abilities. Screw what the people around you are doing and just focus on the job you have before you. It'll all catch up with the losers in the long run anyway (:

that's my take on it.

I cheated on a music theory exam. It was the pre-requisite for receiving my music diploma. I still barely just passed (which means I probably would have failed without cheating) and felt like an absolute fraud at the diploma ceremony. It's not worth it. Unless you have no conscience it just doesn't feel like an achievement at all.

some kids have the nerrve to change answers after theyve received their sac marks back, and claim the teacher made a mistake

I have nothing against "cheating," IMO it's an arbitrary label. There is only what is effective, and what is not. I used to be really bothered when my friends would copy my test, but now I don't care anymore, I will even help them copy my test.

It's not cheating, its merely team work

Lol...
Our lecturers encourage us to work together on assignments, so we would normally have similar ideas in our working...

that doesn't screw anyone else up though. in fact it helps everyone provided you don't get caught.

EDIT: ok perhaps not everyone, but it doesn't hurt anyone

Or they tell you.

If it's happening consistently or across a range of subjects I think you should mention it to the teacher/VCE coordinator.

I agree. She could do it again. Though get prove or else you'll seem like a prick. You could talk to her, then make her confess and record your conversation, then show this to your coordinator. They'd have to believe you then. She'd get 0.
