Cheating on Cambridge Exams? Here's How They'll Find You...

[@mohammadmuzamel2014]

Cheating is never worth it. Can risk your efforts and everything Thank you for this amazing video informing people

[@rob_em]

yea like the entry fees for the exam is hella expensive and the amount of time you spent learning those things and getting disqualified ain't worth it

[@GingerMathematician]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and left a comment! It means a lot. If you have requests or ideas for future videos, I'd love to hear them! You can send them to [e-mail]

[@nin_flame1229]

quite comforting knowing that they'll catch all those cheaters

[@GingerMathematician]

Sure they're working on it!

[@Porygon-YAHAHA]

you forget that you might get caught in the crossfire

[@NANOG-P8]

if the exam doesn't get cancelled iam f'ed so no it isn't comforting that they're finding other ways to combat the leakage.

[@zlepr]

How does this help identify individual cheaters, though?

[@officialtechified]

it won't, but I guess that paper for that specific region could be cancelled? and then the average of all the other papers would be taken for your final grade

[@SynLmao]

there are usually cameras in every examination hall.

[@_defnatredu]

​@SynLmao not in my school ....but we had 2 teachers to examine us

[@battekyake6107]

They will probably inspect your papers more thoroughly if your results were in that area

[@GingerMathematician]

Exactly this, it allows them to pinpoint specific schools / areas that they can investigate on an individual basis...

[@OmarRiaz56]

Love how you used stats to find cheaters! Math is truly beautiful♥

[@GingerMathematician]

Good ol' Stats!

[@RayyanButt-j8r]

The ability to stop cheaters varies from region like some where it is as easy as giving a tip to the invigilators for their hard work and somewhere you cannot even look up from your desk

[@GingerMathematician]

Hopefully they will follow up on any suspicions...

[@meflea3675]

You just tricked us into preparing for stats. Well played lmao

Hey ginger mathematician 👋 Do you plan on posting any IB maths videos (specifically AA HL) in the future? would be much appreiciated!

[@GingerMathematician]

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately, I can't get to it right away, but I've added it to my list for future content. I really appreciate your patience and support 😀👍

[@AyonaFu]

I am concerned about if it can actually accurately identify individual cheaters. My country actually delayed its exam by a day, and did have a lot of leaks, however I did my best to avoid all of them. Will I also be in the group of suspected cheating? I am confident that I actually got an A* in my exam, but I am afraid they might lower my grade and put me in that group suspecting I did cheat.

[@azure5orizons]

If the peak of the curve is too rightward, they likely cancel the exam

[@AyonaFu]

For me, the paper 2 math exam got leaked due to the delay, but my paper 4 exam was done on time so there were no leaks. Does cancellation only occur for an individual paper or the entire exam?

[@azure5orizons]

@@AyonaFu likely just the paper and thats if too many people cheated

[@GingerMathematician]

This is just one tool of many - they would also look at the similarity of answers, the seating plan where students are sitting, many ways..

[@nehanayak4861]

Hello! Ginger Mathematician, your videos have helped me a lot for the IGCSE and i was wondering if you could maybe post some IB Maths HL videos in the future too?

[@GingerMathematician]

In the future for sure, HL AA?

[@snakeeggs_tv4790]

​@@GingerMathematician i would also love that

[@nehanayak4861]

AA HL would be great!! ✨️

[@coldCherryfrost]

One of my school mate got called in by the british council because his steps for calculation matched with someone beside him and he had to go and explain idrk if he cheated or not but yea jts quite strict. However there's another incident also another class buddy cheated In front of the invigilator and they did nothing

[@jennie08._]

Well I think that's the right way to approach the situation, I mean it's very unlikely that yk both students did EXCAT same calculation steps...kinda sus tbh

[@coldCherryfrost]

​@@jennie08._idk how do they get the strength and courage to do so. Id' rather fail than the shame of being called a cheater. Saw a girl taking advantage of her being a girl at the exam center nobody caught her but thousands faced unfairness for sure

[@jennie08._]

@@coldCherryfrost Me neither...the shame of cheating is too much to bear. I cheated once accidentally in the 7th grade and still remember that moment. We need more ppl like u. Good luck

[@coldCherryfrost]

​@@jennie08._ahh thats really sweet of you😊. And you too. We humans learn from mistakes and i think its fortunate enough to learn while young and i'm glad to hear you learned it in your school and I'm sure it improved your life in a better way. Best wishes, we need more people like you too🌼

[@Obaid-Ur-Rahman342]

I think the unusual amount of people getting full marks is a give away already. But how can they tell who cheated exactly?

[@jennie08._]

Cambrigde has their ways...hopefully

[@GingerMathematician]

This is just one of many tools they have...

[@myreenn]

it's easier to identify for mcq papers, because of the sitting order they can tell if answers match. for theory i think invigilator's notes matters a lot (ie. if they report there might be potential cheating going on)

[@Porygon-YAHAHA]

So if I somehow got all the questions correct will they stop me? 😭 And will they do it based on the exam centre or the country? Because my centre had a bunch of students who were very smart

[@GingerMathematician]

This is just one tool but can flag up suspicious schools / areas of the country

[@wonder2440]

Can you post a video expecting grade boundaries? Please ?

[@GingerMathematician]

Will do once I've seen all the papers...

[@wonder2440]

By the way paper 2 is already leaked on tiktok

[@simplescripting7909]

Hello ginger math I just had one quick question, for my paper 4 math exam for the 5 and 4 markers, I wrote my answers in PEN, but wrote the working out for them in PENCIL. Now say I get those questions wrong, will they not even take my working out into consideration because I did them in pencil? Or is it still fine?

[@GingerMathematician]

Still fine just makes it harder to see on the scan of the paper

[@andreasm5770]

Still didn't do anything about all those leaked papers though...

[@GingerMathematician]

Not yet...

[@julielin3805]

Is there any news that paper for variant 2 have leaked,I’m scared that grade boundaries are too high😢

[@GingerMathematician]

No extra news...

[@JadF1729]

I’ve heard it all , and Cambridge has yet to respond , I don’t know what there next plan is , but this is why I love maths , it can be used for a good purpose and also what are the other ways to find them?

[@GingerMathematician]

Could make a follow-up video?

[@Ahmedpositive]

Yes plz. Specifically about maths paper 1 A levels. Discuss the possible scenarios like retake or any other possibilities.

[@szkkids6408]

hey man. I just wanted to ask could you upload pearson edexcel videos and tutorials as well for AS Level and A level?

[@GingerMathematician]

I'd like to as well 👍

[@ferooster1294]

but doesnt cambridge change the threshold every year depending on students' performance? so how will they add the percentage marks into the graph?

[@cosmictomato147]

The grading threshold is influenced by the overall difficulty of the exam questions. Higher difficulty will bring lower grade thresholds and vice versa. It has nothing to do with students' performance.

[@adw1z]

they do slightly for our Uni exams, depending on how successfully a question was answered. If many struggled with the later parts of a question, they'd increase the weightage of marks allocated on the earlier parts

[@adw1z]

who doesn't love a good ol' Gaussian Distribution :D

[@GingerMathematician]

Indeedy 😉

[@mukimuddinadib8067]

Hello Ginger , can you please predict the grade threshold for IGCSE may june 2024?

[@jennie08._]

[@GingerMathematician]

On my list 👍

[@starcrazer_33]

It makes me feel happy knowing that these cheaters will be getting caught. It's so unfair to the people who studied to be punished simultaneously so I'm happy that the bell curve can at least allow us to narrow down location. I'm quite looking forward to studying Stats next year for A2 :)

[@GingerMathematician]

Are you doing Paper 6 / Stats 2?

[@starcrazer_33]

@@GingerMathematician Unfortunately my school didn't let us choose, so I've just done Mechanics 1 this year for AS and in Year 13 I'll be doing Statistics 1 alongside Pure 3 and 4. Statistics has always interested me more than mechanics so I'm excited to learn about it.

in my school most people get a and a* so does this count cheating rather than having good teachers?

A couple girls in my class use the popular IGCSE reddit forum for info from people who already took the exam, and usually after the exam they would go on to type the questions....I suspect that's the case as those girls have a bad reputation, and they mentioned 'reddit, IGCSE group' in a very...secretive tone? Plus not to mention, they snuck phones into the exam centre (not the examination hall, just the centre, which I suppose isn't allowed). Please guys, be honest and just put your best...it's not that big of a deal if you can't get your head around something. Cheating will get you nowhere, trust me. You can put your best foot forward today and be a new person. Good luck. M/J/2024 STUDENT ATTENDANCE HERE

It's important to focus on your own efforts and not resort to cheating. Stay true to yourself and your hard work will pay off.

[@ymii1664]

What if i geniuenely did well in the exam and they assume ive cheated?

This is to identify suspicious areas of the world, not individual students (other methods are used)

[@zeinahodeh8029]

sir, ok so when they get this graph (the one that shows diffirenet heights) what will they do next? will they come and ask each school about the students ACTUAL preformance in real life or just guess who cheated ? i feel that guessing who cheated will be not that accurate

It allows to identify school(s) that are unusual in their distribution and investigate further 👍
