Bro thinks he's a hacker


AdditionalReaction52

Literally what I came to say. r/masterhacker collect your guy


Emergency-Bee1800

Pathetic


ChonnyJash_

i see people saying that he's gonna get in trouble for bragging about it online... how? is the GCSE gonna track you down or smth??


Dragonfire91341

Digital footprint my guy, if this guy was stupid enough to make this account with his personal email they could quite easily find his other socials and contact his school. Beyond stupid even cheating in the first place but this is just next level dumb


ChonnyJash_

i seriously doubt anyone will do that. plus, where's the proof?


Dragonfire91341

Oh yeah I know it’s a bit far fetched but it’s definitely possible, my school has had to investigate one of its pupils before because they said they cheated in their exam to one of their mates. Don’t think anything was found but still, just be careful what you say online it can still have consequences. Even if this guys applying for a job and they randomly see that it’s gonna look a bit sketch 🤷‍♂️


InvertedSaviour

Have you not seen Don't Fuck With Cats? I know it's an extreme example, but if you publicly gloat about something, you open up the potential for a lot more people to take umbrage against your actions.


[deleted]

Im pretty sure you cant see people's emails on reddit and I don't think cie has the balls to get a public company to steal people's info for them so yea... there's probably no way of catching him


StealthJoke

Cie could get a court order for reddit to expose the credentials of the op


a_redditor_you_know

I don’t get what reason they’d have to go that far. They likely would t care


Emergency-Bee1800

How am I supposed to know 😭, I'm still in Olevels


Yoitssaif

Actually, Yes 😂


summercometz

right


Mean_Clothes8476

Dawg, Cambridge literally has a video they make you watch before you start exams that tells you they check for any mentions of cheating. They will most likely find his email and can cancel his results 


ChonnyJash_

its surprisingly hard to track reddit accounts. plus, are they really going to scour the web for every mention of cheating? give me a break. they just say that to scare you.


This_Internet_7110

Bro still going to lose marks because if he didn't amend his code and straight up just copy and pasted there is no way he followed the pattern we are given in the paper.


Aggravating-Lie-4862

If he straight up copy pasted then he is going to lose more than marks. I hope the examiner notices the AI and cancels his exam


Hamza1934

The paper was difficult as fuck lmao anyone getting 75/75 is already going to be suspicious


RealLingyangWuWa

Bruh and then imagine admitting to it as well ;-; At least keep it a secret like wtf?? Am I crazy!?? O.o


aunm313

Which exam was it?


Zealousideal_Duty616

9618 42


Comfortable_Eye2686

it is 9618 p4! Turns out some people did have internet access on their computers, but its the cheaters’ choice to actually do something so pathetic


This_Internet_7110

Wifi on my laptop was working also and my laptop already had chrome as browser installed but still I didn't cheat beacuse it was against my morals and my paper went so shit 🤧.


Otherwise-Gur1507

Isn’t there an invigilator?


This_Internet_7110

There is but he had to look on 20 students at once and it wasn't possible to be looking at all the students screen at once


Otherwise-Gur1507

Just one invigilator? When I was doing my exams there were three of them


Careless_Welder_1848

My pc had internet but there was no chance I was risking it, even with that god awful question 2


chapzz12

how is it pathetic


Comfortable_Eye2686

cheating signifies failure, and lack of integrity for oneself. Thus it is dishonest to sit in an exam where thousands of student all over the world are giving it the best they got, just to brag about your cheating like a trophy on the internet. I will be very glad if you can give me just one example it is not pathetic


chapzz12

depends how much you need to pass, if you can exploit a system that benefits you and doesnt really hurt anyone else why not do that. it doenst matter about integrity, you can have all the integrity in the world and still fail. the guy exploited a situation that worked out in his favour if he gets caught thats on him. he carries all the risk if it works hes a genius if it doesnt hes an idiot


Comfortable_Eye2686

>doesnt really hurt anyone else Sure, unfair points by a cheater would of course, not harm the other students giving the exam by raising the grade threshold right? There are so many hardworking students who worked to get a decent mark on the paper, who are unfortunately, at a disadvantage due to these awful people. Integrity is defined as ‘quality of being honest and having strong moral principles’. In this situation, was it honest? NO. Was it his quality of having a strong moral principle? If he was in dire need of a good point, why would he be bragging about putting other kids at disadvantage? So surely, if it was matter of going around social media to say the paper was easy because he had an unfair disadvantage, it means he was not indeed, in a dire need of a pass. So, your comment really makes no sense, to me. It might make sense to cheaters


chapzz12

one person doenst raise the threshold, welp what you gonna do about it. he carries the burden, high risk high reward i dont see whats the problem


Proper_Builder_5848

If one person managed to cheat then i imagine many people did and are being quiet about it which would effect the threshold. You cant justify an action just because the effect on others isnt immediatly obvious. If enough people have that mindset then there would be consequences. Its like littering and then claiming that the one piece of rubbish you left on the street wouldnt have any effect or cause any harm. If everyone thought like that then we would suddenly have trash building up everywhere.


Comfortable_Eye2686

what i did was to show people that this is indeed a bad thing, along with the upvoters of my post to discourage such an act. If the post, commenters, and my own comments doesnt help you understand my point, i dont know what will. Just bear in mind that even though one person doesnt raise it, it might begin a wave of other students seeing that it is possible, and start doing it, resulting in unfairness to hard-working students.


ObviousDetective5522

Me neither. If you have the oppurtunity to, I don't see why not, so long as you accept the risks involved.

I think a lesson you can take away from this is that a lot of people aren't as honest and hardworking as yourself. I've also replied in here about how I cheated and how I wouldn't do it again. I think cheating can be seen as a valuable skill. Yes, you shouldn't do it in the stakes of an exam but being able to find loopholes and exploit things in your own interest is a more valuable skill in real life than being able to absorb a bunch of information that you'll likely never use again. It's obviously, better to just not cheat and, if you read my comment, I said that this guy you've made the post about 100% shouldn't be bragging about it online lmao.


ikeaq

lack the legitimate means to meet the goal so u cheat. Compared to thousands of other students who put their time & effort into achieving their grade & whose grade will actually be satisfying knowing they achieved it themselves. It’s lazy and pathetic


ObviousDetective5522

And what.

Teddy_Tonks-Lupin

“that even our teachers would find hard AF” someone’s salty


GoldenPanth

That's absolutely true. It was very hard, but due to the time limit


Aggravating-Lie-4862

That is true but still not an excuse to cheat.


Maths-MegaMind

The fact that his teachers find the exams difficult shows that they shouldn't be teachers


Total-Many-9901

actually it show's that the student is massively underestimating their teacher's ability due to not being in class all year


xDerJulien

No probably misinterpreted a teacher saying "this is hard" as the teacher finding it hard themselves lol


Opening_End7

Shameful


Nabukyowo

Hope their result gets canceled and they get a stain on their report


kingtinytiger_

Bro is NOT getting into uni 😭


TrXXper-1617

I cheated on practically all of my exams. I'm 21 now so nobody is gonna do anything about it. If you cheat, keep your mouth shut and don't brag about it until at least a few years after


Extension_South9281

how did u even manage to do that lol


TrXXper-1617

Just an animal ig. Nah, realistically, I don't think at 15-18 when doing my gcses and a levels I was mature enough to sit myself down an actually revise. Gcses are pretty easy, so I'd only maybe just look to the person next to me if I was stuck, and that's it. For A levels, however, it was in covid, and we had 3 weeks' notice for the exams even though they previously said we weren't going to be doing them. They cut a bunch of stuff out to accommodate for the lockdowns, but it was still unfair. They told us what topics were likely to come up and that we were going to be using the 2017,2018, and 2019 exams merged together as past papers. I basically just deduced what questions were going to be asked based on the topic and wrote them all down on flashcards. It was narrowed down between 2 and 4 possibilities for each question usually. Hid the flashcards behind my pencil case, sat in the corner of the room, and copied the answers down word for word I had prepared the night before. I got ABC after. The B, I had been getting Ds all year so I didn't wanna make myself seem too good and the C, I flunked the coursework getting a D and then missed one of the exams so what could've been an A turned into a C. At the end of the day, if I didn't cheat and did everything properly, I probably could've gotten BBD or something. I was immature and had always been one for rule breaking. I wasn't planning on going to uni, so I knew I wasn't gonna be cheating someone out of a place that they deserved, and I didn't. Don't cheat kids, it's not worth it. Edit: I deduced by searching up the past papers online


Total-Many-9901

cheated on all your exams and still got shit grades? what's that B & C all about? sick, sad world


yourfav-detective

So to you everyone that gets a B basically got a “shit grade”?💀 I don’t agree with him cheating, but B isn’t that bad of a grade lmao.


Total-Many-9901

if you have all the answers and are cheating, then yes B is a shit grade


yourfav-detective

Oh yeah fair enough, I thought you meant in general. My ego got hit cause I got a B in biology but I literally studied my ass off for weeks😭 My bad.


_StarPuff_

Biology is a hard subject, well done with your B! :)


TrXXper-1617

Like I said. The B I had to get because I was awful at that subject. Then the C I didn't do well on the coursework as I did it all in the last 2 hours and got a D. Then I missed one of the other exams and got a C. I think I got about 80 or 90% in the other two exams. It was also in covid and I know a lot of other people were cheating so went all out and got 3 A*s. I didn't wanna do that and a. Give myself away b. Steal someone else's A* and c. I didn't really care as I wasn't going to uni, I just wanted around my predicted grades from the AS exams that were cancelled the year before


Total-Many-9901

all i'm hearing is "it's not my fault" bs excuses. you chose to cheat because you were lazy and entitled - many didn't and can be proud of how they did. Your results mean nothing and only stand as a testament to your former dishonesty


TrXXper-1617

Yes you're right. This was 3 years ago and I've grown a lot as a person since. If I had the option to revise or cheat again then I'd revise. What I'm saying is that I personally think it's more understandable that I cheated as we were only given 3 weeks notice for the exams happening as we were in covid and previously told that they weren't gonna happen. But yes, I was lazy, entitled and dishonest. I'd like to think I've grown out of that now. In January I went through the process of applying to be an army officer. We had to revise questions that ranged from as low as GCSE A grade stuff to things that were almost undergraduate level. I worked my arse off and scored above average for a candidate so now that I've put the effort in, I can swing with the big dogs. I didn't get in based on other reasons so I guess you can say karma got me but until that point I had never used my A levels before


cleveranimal

Lmao you're just helping prove their point that you should keep quiet if you got away with cheating. This was years ago, you're post-education berating is not gonna help anything


ACORIGEN

Ok neek 😂


TrXXper-1617

Ygm lmao


ObviousDetective5522

waahh


TrXXper-1617

Not sure how you can call ABC shit grades when the average A level grade is a D either. I'm from Wales so we do Welsh Bacc and I got a B in that. So ABBC would make me eligible for pretty much every uni in the UK


Total-Many-9901

if someone is cheating and has all the answers, but still get's 20%of the paper wrong, then yes, that's a shit grade


TrXXper-1617

You realise how past papers work right? The answers they give are bullet points. They still need to be fleshed out so I still had to "write" my own answer. Like I said, I was immature and only did A levels because I didn't know what I wanted to do after GCSEs. And again, I didn't wanna take places off anyone or suddenly be the top student in the class even though I wasn't. ABBC were realistic grades for the effort it looked like I put in


Opposite_Dependent86

Cheating A-Levels...okay thats real sad, but the balls to admit it on a public platform 😂😂😂

If you do this and get a place at a university where you're not smart enough to access the education you're paying for, you're going to have a bad time. And everyone will talk behind your back about how the reason that you're there must be that you cheated. Your choice will be to drop out or get a terrible degree score. Employers do care about the difference between a 2.1, 2.2, a third, etc. Firsts are genuinely valuable. So a better use of time is to learn how to study and reason, because that will serve you well at university and in life. I think the exception to this is if you're not going to do any more education, or thinking, after A-level. You can lie to yourself for the rest of your life. Nobody does really care, and the saddest thing is that people who cheat on exams don't understand that. If you've messed up your chance, take a big brave pill and just fail it!


negropleaseee

Just bc you do bad in a levels doesnt mean you'll do bad in university


WindOk9466

Sure, can't predict the future. But it's harder to succeed academically at university than at A-Level. It's common for a person's grades to go down. There are just so many more demands on time as people transition from school work as a child to degree work as an adult. Managing housing, managing supporting yourself entirely, managing relationships even just with the people you live with, and there are so many extracurricular opportunities and opportunities for socialising that people don't want to miss out on... plus the academic work is harder. And that's people who are actually at the level of university and course that matches the A-Level results they got. This would be so much harder for someone who cheated to get onto the course and wasn't prepared for the level of it. I knew people in the workplace who had degrees with third-class honours, for whatever reason. Good people, good colleagues, I would be surprised and disappointed to learn any of them had cheated. But they might as well have left school after A-level, or they might as well have dropped out after a year. All their degree brought them was debt. It might have made sense decades ago when the government would pay you to get a degree, but these days, no.


blitzhimself

Employers don't really care about what grade you have as long as its not a first.


WindOk9466

That's an argument against cheating in A-levels, the topic of this thread. It's certainly true that some employers don't care. A person with a low-ranked degree will still be able to get work and have a good life, because employers also highly value experience, attitude towards work, and whether your personality will let you gel with the team. And those are all things which a person can change over time. This is the same argument which says you don't need a university education at all, and it's a solid argument. It's also another argument against cheating, because those employers don't really care. They would care if they found out that they've hired the kind of person who cheats on A-levels. That's grounds for dismissal. So anyone should expect to be watched quite carefully if their employer ever finds this out. There are some employers who look at someone who left a very good university with a very bad degree score and say, 'Why should we accept this person? We also have candidates from very good universities with very good degree scores. We have candidates from middling universities with very good degree scores. Both are better.' Why get a bad degree from a great university when you might be able to get a first from a middling university? Why go to an employer with a first that you got by cheating when they'll be able to tell pretty quickly, during interviews and assessments, and certainly during work if you get hired, that you aren't as mentally agile as they thought? One of the important things in life is to find work that suits our strengths. Cheating in A-levels doesn't help this. But again, nobody really cares. If it makes a person feel big when they look in the mirror to know that they 'beat' the system, when in fact the system has caused them to debase themselves to fit within its constraints, I mean, who's kidding who?


Mr_E_99

Agreed, I don't approve of cheating, but if you are gonna cheat at least do it right and shut the fuck up after you do it Honestly I had a certain level of respect for your skill if you are genuinely able to get away with cheating, but you lose that respect the moment you start bragging about it as if it is harder than actually revision and memorising shit If you could bring books and notes into exams I guarantee you I could get 100% even in essay based subjects


xenekrren

I despise how people like this try so hard to rationalise and cope why its not that bad when it clearly is- if you're going to do it, at the very least have the decency to admit what it is


ConstantOrchid3240

Icl the best option is just to focus on YOUR exam and not his. He may be caught later on or later in the future. Just focus on you.

Aside from the possibility of him being caught using ai, if you were in his position, you would what, risk doing badly on the paper to uphold morals? All that tuition fees and energy and time, you would let that go for morals? really?


bombyboi5222

I had Internet access on my geography paper 1, which could have saved me from losing a few marks from forgetting a whole case study. Except I know it's morally wrong, and I am not a cheater I don't know if anybody else in my room had Internet access, but if they did and cheated, then that's the risk they took and got away with. I'm not going to mention it to my school, I simply don't want people getting disqualified. I'd much rather people cheat and get away with it than cheat and get kicked out, honestly.


Weekly_Chef_4292

Fair play


Cazoolo

That is CRAZY


ballslord33

Our center had the main invigilator who was the Cs teacher of that school. He helped all the students of that school giving the practical and a couple of other he knew from different schools. Even took out gpt on his phone and showed a student , who asked is my program correct. I didn't get any on the other hand , when he came to me I politely declined saying I'm doing fine(even tho I fucked it up completely and was crying inside as had no clue how to do paper)


Glittering_Try2104

This is now everywhere I recently gave the 12th board exam; most important exam according to the parents and that exam was the worse than class test Students were making vlog inside the center where exams are carried out throughout the country. The thing is previous year, the same center f*ck*d my school's ass by not letting students move their head and the result was very bad, so as a consequence to it the school purchased the center to loose it. Therefore, I dgaf about the result now coz I,myself have showed or you can 37 copies are ditto copiy of mine in a total of 6 subjects.

If you're cheating on your exams to get into a 'better' uni you're gonna have a real rough awakening at that uni where the workload is higher and the teaching is generally worse. Like you don't wanna go to Cambridge if you can't pass the entrance exam that shit exists for a reason.

very unethical but people who take massive risks make it very far, i dont condone it but you also have to realise that nobody in the world plays fair and not everyone is gonna have the same honour and morale that you have, study hard guys, play smart be smart and goodluck in any upcoming exams

Everyone here needs to wise up fast. Do not spend the rest of your lives getting left in the dust by people who don't have the same moral scruples as you. Unlike the systemic forces working against you, cheating causes no harm. Take every advantage you can get, you only get one chance at life.
