Students know hundreds of methods to avoid spending long hours preparing for examinations and tests. Of these, everyone can choose the one which best suits his cheating skills and of course the aim. Cheating, in general, begins at senior primary school. The most widespread methods at this age are hiding small bits of paper (which contain all relevant information) in their pockets, under the question sheet or into their pencil cases, and writing things on their palms. The creation of the small sheets is quite time (and patience-) –consuming as kids do not use computers to design these pieces. Writing on one's hands is risky as there is no way to remove the text when the teacher approaches suspiciously. As you can see now, these methods are quite elementary, easy to discover and, in fact, mostly done to amaze classmates!

Modern technology is often of great help to the secondary school student: the computer edited A4 page can be reproduced on a much smaller scale. Experts on the topic say that the smallest font legible to the students' eyes is the 3 pt size. The laziest do not bother with typing, they simply photocopy the book at about 8 pages A4 rate and cut the pages apart. University students prefer the 'previously-written-essay method', which is often much more dangerous than the others, that is why they use those as well. Everyone tries cheating once. After that, he decides whether it is worth it or not (Réka & Bunny, 1999). In September 1996 a research was carried out at the University of Economics (BKE), Budapest for personal purposes under the co-ordinatio...
