So you can switch the photo and send somebody else which will pass the exam to take it for you
We don't have to show ID, its just walk in, sit down and do it, but given the whole year sits the exam at the same time, it'd be hard to send a friend in, and noone (and I mean
noone) in the years above would sit your exams for you.

Another thing which is used in universities here is to pay cash to the teacher for the exam and then you are 100% sure that you will pass.
Any lecturer who does that should be fired, no ifs, no buts. Utterly pointless them giving the course if they have morals like that when it comes to the exams. As I said, someone tried that on my dad, they'd suddenly find themselves repeating the year, or just chucked out.

The third technic which was used by my rootmate yeasterday is to take your cellphone with handsfree and somebody to dictate you the answers.
Unless you are sitting very simple exams, which do not require a lot of writing and thinking on your own part, that'd be very hard to do. Again, I imagine I'd find it
impossible to find someone in my uni who would do that for anyone, even their best friends.
You are only making it worse for yourself if you cheat in exams, since come the next year you'll be worse off and need to rely more and more on cheating, creating a downward spiral. Once you get out of uni/college and into a job people will rapidly realise you have no idea, and you won't get far with that.
Personally, if no cheating means I came out with a 2-1 rather than a 1st, I'd take the 2-1. Why? Because
I'd know. With my 2-1 I'd be able to say "Thats
my 2-1, I earned it. Sure it isn't top, but its my ability". Coming out with a 1st by cheating would be stupid as I explained in the paragraph above, and because I'd never know how good I was.
If the exam is pointless, and you never plan to continue with that topic, take it like a man and fail (even if you're female, take it like a man!). If the exam is important, then work for it! If you can't be bothered to put in enough work by the time you get to university, you have no right being there IMO.
