I actually love cheaters. They actually make it easier for those that don't cheat to rise up. Cheaters will always no matter what have to face some kind of proctored test. Whether its DAT, Boards, State exam you name it those that cheat won't do well (its gonna bite em in the Arse). So whats the problem. You people are just looking at it in temporary terms. Long term your way ahead of the game well thats if you studied.
cheatings a part of life, there will always be cheaters no matter what the circumstances, what the teacher says, what cameras you got looking down on you people will allllways cheat.
I don't like cheaters either, i actually don't know how to cheat i'm not very skilled. I see alot of cheaters cheating group in my undergrad school. I mean its not even a joke. They practice seating arrangement and all that.
But cheating doesn't mean that you will go to the top. Eventually you still have to pass the boards. Those you can't really cheat on. So its actually to your advantage if they cheat, and you study and don't cheat. However its to their advantage if u don't study and they don't study but they do better. Grades in the end don't matter its the boards that make the difference.
And hey I think if you can cheat and still make it up to the top youve got skillz doesn't make you any dumber than someone who made it by just studying. And I don't think that cheating will make a less competence dentist. I'd have to honestly say one that cheats and studies is more well rounded. His or her head isn't in books memorizing crap. The stuff you learn in dental school you will probably apply 10% of it. Just like undergrad how many of you remember who composed what from music appreciation. Or what date the blahblah blhahappened. I mean how do you think bush got up there. I call that skillz. He had enough skill to go up there. Heck he didn't even have to cheat paid some peeps off got in here go in there went to the top, smoked pot watever. Either his daddy or whatever helped him out but hey he accomplished his goals. I mean again you have to do good on your boards in order to go into specialty. You can't cheat. So its actually advantagous like i said for you if they do cheat. I'm studying for the DAT now and those that cheated are having a hell of a time learning the material. all over again when they could have just learned in class.
Have you noticed the hardcore biology never end up getting the highest grades and they know the most information. And those that are just doing it to get to the next level have such as dentist med etc. do watever it takes to get up there and have the highest grades. The same thing follows those that push it to the limit whatever it takes are the ones that rise. Some beleive in studying and booksmarts others are more well rounded can do not only that but cheat, party, study balance everything. I think balance is a good thing. I'm actually having a blast whatching my fellow friends who cheated through a few ochem learning ochem all over, because now they have to, and it might be too late. So in the end the hardcore cheaters will be crying and hurting them off and helping you. The balanced cheaters are beating you because your not well balanced and you just study. Just the way human nature is.
Just my 2 cents.
