Discuss student cheating

I give different version of the test to prevent cheating.

I change the test each semester to help control cheating.

I have 4 different versions of an exam
The sections are scrambled and the questions are also scrambled within a section

This reduces much of the temptation as well as
students know ahead of time that the person next to them and around them will have a different exam and so they will need to know the material

Hi Amy,
You are right! Tests seem to leak out some how. I normally sramble the questions.

Do you completely change the tests, or just do subtle revisions? It's a great idea. I tend to just watch my students like a hawk, but sometimes I think they get versions of tests from previous students.

Hello Jacquelyn,
This is a great way to minimize cheating.
