I don't know but i never got the point of cheating, i mean you can only put a limted amount of information on the cheat sheet, is it really going to help you? Personally, i don't cheat, mainly because it'd be illogical, if i took the time to look something up, space it right and write it down i would remember it. I guess I've always been that way. Although, other people cheating doesn't make me mad, i don't really know why, it just doesn't bother me, unless they're premed and cheating on a bio exam . Although, now that i think about I've never had the reason to cheat on an exam either, so maybe that has something to do with it.
