The increase in modern-day exam cheating
Ofqual shows figures of a 6% raise in cheating in the A-level and GCSE’s 2009 exams in England, Wales and Northern Ireland with over 4,400 people being caught
Mobile phones and other forms of technology are the main devices which are used for cheating; some of these devices were obtained from online websites which sell “exam cheating equipment”. To combat this, schools are beginning to use detection equipment in their examination rooms as well as post warning posters which display strict rules for the use of electronic equipment in the exam halls. Lastly, disqualification; any peculiar looking stationary or electronic devices found on a person in their possession during the duration of the exam will result in an immediate disqualification says Ofqual.
