What have you heard from this year? My kids T20 had a final canceled due to it. I think I heard there would be an option to retake in Fall maybe? Otherwise grade was made up of one less exam. I will be furious if this happens in a class.
Why don’t they change question order, some classes are packed in like sardines so it’s going to happen. |

Cheating has happened since the dawn of time.
Why are you so involved in your adult child's classes and exams? I'm a mother hen who parents my college aged autistic/ADHD son very closely, but even I don't post such nonsense. |
I care because I’m paying $400k and also hope for some integrity in the world. Our leader supposedly had people take his SAT and college exams at Fordham according to a family member’s book. Look how great that’s going. |

No bigger cheater than the man who's leading the country at the moment.
Convicted felon and he cheated on all his wives. |
| Lots. t25. Almost no one expelled unless they lied repeatedly after the fact, but many failing grades. ChatGPT cheating and one classics exam. |
Truth |
Respect your leader. |
Well, DC's high school sends a student (the only one) to Harvard this year. That person is known to cheat on exams and managed to have a high GPA. The SAT is mediocre. However, that person boasts building three non-profit organizations back in his/her home country (2nd generation immigrant) that benefit many people. That person also caps with bunch of "president" titles of self-made clubs. Harvard likes this type of stories, and they are perfect matches. |
Oh shut up maga |
Then you're going to be sorely disappointed. What do you expect? Zero cheating? You seriously think that's going to happen? Cheating is wrong, but people will continue doing it. There isn't more or less cheating, proportionally speaking, than in 500 CE when aspiring Chinese administrators began taking their civil service exams. People cheat on taxes, people seek to scam and defraud. This is why there really isn't a point to this thread. Just make sure your kid is clean. Beyond that, there isn't much you can do. |
I know cheating is going to happen. Perhaps naive but didn’t expect entire exams to be cut. Mine needs highest gpa possible for med/law and having all exams can be difference between an A or a B. |
| ^ on the flip side is I’m glad they noticed irregularities, maybe it’ll help curb it a tiny bit. Wishful thinking I’m sure. |

Some students cheated way back when we were students, but not as much as now. And it was different. You had to pay someone or actually go out of your way to get answers. Now you can easily go on Chat GPT and get everything done for you. Cheating is rampant, even at top colleges.
My prediction is that classes will become 100% in class written exam based. |
OP, this cheating was multiple choice exam in a lecture hall. Didn’t even have to pay or work hard. |
This is where you back off, OP. It's not grade school anymore. Your kid can deal. Hand wringing about an adult child's exam cancellation and a grade change is SO NOT a good look for you. You are beyond the helicopter parent stage and into pathology. People tried to tell you before, but you don't seem to get it. |
