Hey Troy! How are you? :)
I haven't ever cheated on an exam but the girl who sits next to me in Science cheats off mine every single time. I hardly know her name and she copies my answers. I try and hide them but it's hard because she's like breathing down my neck which is a tad irritating. I wrote the wrong thing down once just so she got it wrong. I changed it at the end of the exam. Horrible, I know.
I admit it. I have cheated on an assignment. But I didn't copy it word for word. It was a poetry analysis thing and I had no clue what they were talking about so I asked my friend and took notes off hers. I guess it isn't cheating, but we weren't supposed to read other people's work.
I probably wouldn't cheat during an exam though - because:
a) Usually I know most of the answers anyways or I'd just guess.
b) Half the people in my class know nothing about anything.
c) I'm really gumby so I'd probably fall over, off my chair or something and the teacher would catch me. Besides, our desks get seperated FAR apart in most exams. >.> Except science.
The only circumstance that I would cheat on an exam is if it was absoloutely crucial to my marks and someone said it was okay. I don't know though - I have a tendancy to get caught when I do the 'wrong' thing.

I don't let people copy off me and I don't copy of other people, but I do prepare my own notes before the test so I can cheat off them.
I've gotten caught many times, sometimes I was punished, sometimes the teacher laughed it off and let me finish the fair way. I don't mind if I get caught, since I knew of the risks when I started and still chose to do it.
I don't really have a cleverest way, and it depends on the teacher. Whatever works with a given teacher is good.

I don't cheat on exams, test, or quizzes because it's really not that easy to and it just doesn't feel right. However I copy homework in homeroom and I let kids copy my homework. Honestly, copying homework isn't a big deal. On take home assignments, once in a while I check my brother's computer and see if he saved anything on it on Microsoft Word. That's sort of cheating, although I never copy word for word. I usually just use it as a guide. Hey, at least I'm being honest here.

Last year I cheated at math everyday. She called out the answers to the homework assignment and I just filled them in. But I don't do that anymore. I've never cheated on a test. I usually study so they're not difficult.
I let people copy off my paper all the time. It doesn't really bother me.
I've never gotten caught.

I've cheated about once or twice. I nearly was caught. I only do it whenever I feel tons of pressure though. I felt so guilty about it after wards. It was terrible. The guilt ate me alive for about 3 weeks. I never did it again. I'm dreadful at lying as well. I would never be able to get away with it. My parents would be so angry.
I know saying this will probably make me sound like a total nerd, but you really are only cheating yourself. I love the feeling you get after you work hard, and you manage to earn an A. Cheating only ruins that accomplished feeling. Whenever you see that A, guilt attacks you. Kids who cheat usually lie to themselves that their dishonesty "isn't so bad". But deep down, pretty much all of them feel at least a little guilty.
I learned how to do study techniques after I promised myself never to cheat again. I try my best and am currently trying to make an effort in doing my homework. I usually don't come on here during week days for that reason.
Cheating happens more often than you think. There's guides on Wikihow on how to cheat. I see and hear kids cheating on tests all the time. Kids talk about doing it casually. It happens A LOT in the advanced school programs. I don't tell on them though. It's none of my business whether or not they cheat. I prefer people don't cheat though. There's kids who actually work hard to earn their good grades.
I usually don't let other people copy my homework. If I get caught, then me and the kid who copied get in huge trouble. I try not to take that risk. I'm bad at getting away with things.
I could be kicked out of my advanced classes if I was caught cheating. There's so many consequences. I prefer not to take the risk.
I got to go to sleep now. Good night!

I've cheated on tests. I figure that if there are plenty of successful people out there who don't deserve it, why can't I cheat on one or two or three stupid High School tests that won't matter for anything, ever?
I have an iPod Touch with WiFi, and I'm able to connect to my school's wireless internet, so I used to google answers for my Chemistry tests.
Also I would do assorted hand signals, and tapping my partner in a similar method to morse code.
I've been accused of cheating, but I've played it off well.
I know it's a bad habit, but I deserve the A as much as the other kids who don't try for jack sh*t!
Our education system, (I live in Florida) is in the sh*tter, and my teachers mostly suck. So...

I let my friends copy me sometimes. Not word for word, but I give them the general idea.
Do it before class? I don't cheat on tests, just assignments sometimes.
Nooope.
I would never cheat on a test.... that's just weird. So no.

i cheat on assignments sometimes but not tests. Yea, I let other people copy me for homework but nothing else. Never gotten caught.

I don't cheat, and I would never cheat. Cheating at my school will get you suspended, plus no teacher would ever trust you. If you cheat at a college level you might get kicked out. It's a stupid idea. Just study and save yourself in the long run.
