A cell phone is not always needed to make calls or send SMS. Often, modern students use their phone in an exam as a cheat sheet or to download tips. Remember the famous catch phrase from the movie "Operation Y": "How do you hear? Welcome! " How successful is the use of a mobile phone in the exam today? The story is told by the students themselves.
Ways to use your phone in the exam
As a rule, cribs in mobile phones are rarely used in universities. Modern teachers have already learned how to calculate "smart people", now strict requirements are imposed on students during exams: we put bags on a separate table, cell phones on another. The students obey, gritting their teeth. True, even here smart students have found a way out: they enter the classroom with two telephones, one (switched on) - surrender to the teacher and put on the table. Then a ticket is taken and the ticket number is loudly called. The partner hears and quickly sends a message with the answer to the second phone. Sometimes it is possible to convince the teacher that the phone is needed as a calculator. But instead of adding, students send messages with the ticket number to get the answer to the question in the same way. So far, teachers are far less versed in pocket devices than students. Of course, the most common method of using a phone in an exam is using cell phone headphones. Phone - on the belt, earphone - in the ear (preferably miniature, wireless). Any earphone can be masked with hair or a high collar. True, for guys with short haircuts, this trick is more difficult. But there are many other ways to use a cell phone in an exam. If earlier the Bluetooth headset had a rather voluminous appearance, today it can be hidden right in the ear - this is the so-called micro-earpiece. A concealed headset can house a miniature transmitter and microphone. This device is called a hidden-carry Bluetooth headset. You won't even have to take out your phone during the exam. The use of the telephone during the session depends on the ingenuity of the students and the capabilities of the apparatus itself. If you can take pictures of the answer sheets and then use them for the exam, it is also a good option. If the smartphone has access to the Internet, then all the answers can be instantly received from there - from websites or via e-mail. Phones and smartphones allow you to save audio versions of lectures, recognize printed texts and translate the sound sequence into a printed one. All this, of course, comes in handy for students in exams. Mobile ICQ clients, designed specifically for smartphones, are an alternative to communication via SMS. Allows you to quickly transfer a large amount of information on the subject of exams and send response messages. A photo camera and MMS-sending will help you to quickly receive a page of a textbook or lectures on your phone. It is especially convenient when you need to transfer a large amount of graphics, tables and formulas. When accessing the mobile Internet, online databases of cheat sheets become available. Some portals even provide a service of downloading ready-made cheat sheets to the phone.
Cellular jamming during the exam
The jamming technology is borrowed from the military. Special devices have long been developed to detect cell phones in exams. When any phone in the student's hands tries to connect to the operator's base station to receive or send data, a special device intercepts the signal. The detector works within a radius of 10-30 meters, and it is enough for an entire audience when passing an exam. Therefore, no one cancels the old methods of preparing for exams: read lectures and textbooks!
