I remember in year 8 we had an Italian oral test but we were running out of class time so the teacher called everyone at their house to do it. We were given a sheet of paper exactly the same as the test to practise and so everyone basically had the answers right in front of them while on the phone. The thing is, I didn't need to cheat because the test was pretty easy. I guess that just having the answers there is more of a confidence thing. Also, in year 11 English I had the language devices written in the back of my dictionary but I don't think I actually used the list at all, and I wrote them in there at the beginning of the year, so it wasn't like cheating was my intention. I can't recall cheating any time other than those, but I guess there could have been something back from primary school that I've forgotten.
I've never really needed to cheat. If I had ever needed to cheat it would probably be tempting though. I thought about it for the VCE exams, but doesn't everyone? In the end, though, it's not worth risking the entire year on a couple of extra marks and it's not worth the knowledge that you didn't earn your score. Besides, the exams don't lend themselves to cheating, the questions tend not to be straightforward and textbookish anyway. But it isn't that hard to cheat. In the Lit exam one of the people in my class turned up for the 30 minutes required to pass and wrote about 2 sentences. Most of those 30 minutes were spent texting people on her mobile phone. She wasn't cheating, but she could have been.
