"5 Effective Methods to Cheat Protected Exams: Student's Guide"
We all have such scenarios where we feel stuck and just can’t have enough of everything and boom, here it comes, a protected exam. The frustration, the anger, it really gets on peak when you could excel the course otherwise but the protected exam just hinder your overall progress, stoping you from achieving what you could have otherwise.
It’s not as we’re not prepared or stuff, sometimes, the pressure of sitting before camera and giving online exam is too much that we get confused of what to do and not to do.
Can your Cheat on Protected Exams?
So, after having to go through this stage, I researched and researched finding some of the best ways we can effectively give protected exam without worrying about some small stuff. I’ll unveil some of the methods through which you can effectively give the protected exam without having to go through, being alone in the process.
Cut the story short, lets get into the 10 of the known effective methods(with pros and Cons) we can use to cheat in protected exam, without having to worry much.
I know it sounds absurd, like we are literally before camera and everything is being monitered in real time, how can we cheat and use online resources. THAT’S REALLY WHAT I USED TO THINK, but is it really that hard. Just go back to your exam time and think, are you fully on camera, and can the camera record anything beside your face and background. Then what’s the thing stopping you from putting the smartphone in parallel to your screen and use as if you’re using your phone.
But we can all agree on one thing it’s weak and only short term solution. We are going to need a more concrete solution if we have those types of exams more often, which brings us to second solution.
2) Virtual Machine
A virtual machine is a computer setup that closely resembles a physical computer. It provides candidates with the ability to utilize an additional operating system, enabling them to search for answers to test questions while being monitored by proctoring software that keeps an eye on the device’s primary operating system. This unique feature allows candidates to run multiple instances of the exam on virtual machines, giving them the flexibility to search for answers without the need to exit the exam interface.
BUT AGAIN SOME PROTECTED SOFTWARES MIGHT COME WHICH CAN DETECT THIS FEATURE(Working for now).
3) Impersonation
One of the most common behaviors one may encounter during exams is to ask someone else to take the test on their behalf. This type of impersonation, infancy words, switching places, can occur either before or during an online assessment session. In certain cases, you may try to find ways to switch places with someone else before the authentication process begins. For instance, you may attempt to modify your identification papers or exchange exam login information. It’s not uncommon for some students to even verify their identity themselves before giving it to someone else to give exam for them. This situation is quite prevalent because most online proctoring systems only perform authentication and verification procedures prior to the test, which, rather fortunately makes it challenging to detect this sort of things.
4) The Old School Tricks
Even though older cheating techniques like hiding cheat sheets or writing on your palm are becoming less common, it’s worth noting that they still exist. Whether you are taking an automated or live remotely proctored exam, traditional cheating tricks won’t be a problem. Advanced AI-based proctoring software is designed to easily detect any suspicious movements or noises made by students.
5) Using External Projector
Kind of similar to Remote Desktop/Virtual Machine, this option allows you to transit your screen to another projector linked to it, easily allows the third person to access and somehow provide answers to you. This option can be used during protected exam alongwith option 1, through which you can access the correct option sent to you by your friend.
By so far, this option is most safest one to adopt and use during such exams as it allows the most security and isn’t easily detectable.
Those methods are just a tip of an iceberg. There are tons of methods being used by student and one analogy is totally correct to this student behavior: “Student can find anything to not find the answer during exam”
