What does every kid hate? School and tests. If only we knew the answers to tests in advance...

...3rd period, I stare glumily at my 80% test grade in Advanced Placement Biology...(sigh) maybe i should have studied more....if only i knew someone who had taken the test recently who knows the answers...

Then it hit me. When the teacher goes over the test answers, I will stealthily jot them down on paper.
(Note: this will mainly work on multiple choice)
Next, make a web site for the class and make password protected pages -each page containing the answers to one test.

So, when next year rolls around, ill "slip" or drop" a slip of paper in front of a student in that class or slip it into lockers. Then charge the students to get into the centain test they wish to access

I hope to eventually expand this to many classes.

Problems with the plan:

1. The average slacker doesn't know what Paypal is, nonetheless has an account so receiveing payment manually may reveal my plan to administration.

2. The administration finding out and me getting into huge trouble.

3. A class gets together to pay for a password and they divide it evenly.
(possible solution - give out different passwords that only work at certain times. E.X one will work between the hours of say...4- 415 P.M....etc.)

4. A stupid kid will talk about the service in front of a teacher. Teacher has meeting. Teacher makes new tests to solve the problem of cheaters.

5. I have to wait a year.

I know to some of you who have made thousands, this may seem like petty change, but hey, im young and my creativity is growing.

Anyway, what do you think?

P.S. (I am a long time reader and this is my first time posting)

For the reasons you mentioned, this will not work.

Wow, if this is the future of entreprenuership, we are all in trouble! How about legitimate business? Great idea.

[nado]

Yeah, business and illegal activities are not good... way too risky.

What makes you think next years test would be the same?

[Karen]

How does cheating benefit anyone exactly?

Thanks for the responses.

I figured I'd just throw the idea out there.

Teacher's tests are the same every year. My chemistry teacher mentioned that he himself took this certain test when he took chemestry.

How does cheating benefit anyone?
It doesn't. It just saves you time and gets you a better grade.

Plus, classes like AP biology never acutally help you in life.
Seriously, whats the point of learning why when carbon and silver are bonded together the H+ molecules fill in the outer valence electon shell which makes the compound a noble molecule since the dynamic equiblibrium has been established.

Anyway, yes, it's way to risky and unfeasible. Thanks for the responses.

Why would you take the class to begin with then?

The point is, if you're going into a field where you need to know that information, then it will be quite useful. Here's another question - what would you say if your doctor told you he used a service just like yours to get himself through college?

[Jshalaby]

It's a good thought if you had all tests in every class. But the cons in this idea outway the pro and the chance of success is very low.

4 real i like your business idea and i hope it comes through, good luck

The real problem with this idea, aside from the assorted ethical questions, is that you have to hold the data for too long.

Tests change, they will change even if you don't get found out.

I managed to purloin the computer passwords of the entire faculty in High School, and sold a disk with the passwords on it to some fairly determined individuals, made enough to buy my first car when I was 16 (albeit quite a beater).

In case you're wondering how I did that, they had just put a new system in, and thus issued all the teachers temp passwords, all of which corresponded to a certain formula. I figured out what the formula was (slight variation from one used for students, combination of names, initials, and other stuff), and then reset each and every teacher password to a new password of my choosing. Gave students access to all online course & grading materials.



But I also got suspended like 3 times and kicked out of school once, all for computer mischief, so don't try this at home. Long and short of all this is: find a legit way to make money, this test-answer scheme isn't potentially profitable enough to justify the risks.
