Cheating on tests

Now that it seems so long ago, what kind of cheating did you do in simulations and assessments? In my area it started with the reps that used to be managers. They gave the impression that it was ok and everyone needed to do it. One person would take the test, and then share the test questions with at least two others at a fed ex office store. They would then share the test questions with others and it would multiply. Sharing also occurred across business units for the BA and CE questions.

 

If you're not cheating, you're not trying. It's the GSK way.

 

I knew when I had all the test questions ahead of time and still ranked in the lower half when results came it was seriously f'd up.

 

They know what is happening. Watch what you do. Several were let go sharing tests in VA.

 

Finally this post happens. There are many former employees with evidence and axes to grind.

 

I'm worried.

 

Had 3 in my pod. We would all get together and rotate who took the test first. The other would use their iPad to take pictures while the other help to look up answers. Did the same for the oral. All 3 three would be in the room and tape the call . We all rotated getting a shiity bonus but it was well worth it. Damn we miss those trips.

 

We'd coordinate with other business units (respiratory, vaccines) when one area took the BA and CE sections. They were always exactly the same during the semester or quarter.

 

I know one area cheated very well together. Had great trust with each other, noooootttt sure but the manager may have turned their head. They did well obviously.

 

Managers knew it all. One manager walked out of the room when a rep announced to the room at a national meeting that here were three sales data questions on one test in particular.

 

Imagine my surprise when I received a copy of an upcoming test 2 days before the window opened and at the top of the page was a fax number with a triangle park area code. The entire fiasco was scam by the liberal/communist to infuse diversity into GSK.

 

Socialist CEO, and we have the results to go with it. We are the Venezuela of pharma.

 

At time of merger, GSK was #2 in size and financials for pharma. Enter the socialist CEO, and ten years later we are # 8 in financials, stock trading 20% below when he became CEO, sale of oncology just when that sector is the hottest it has ever been, very weak pipeline with no innovation. And why hasn't he been fired?

I would have my personal computer open while taking the written test to google anything if I was the first to take the test.

 

He wasn't fired, nor did he fire any of his failed minions. Can't say that for any of the worker bees.

 

The RSD would drop off a copy of the test to my peers while doing field visits. She never did this for me, but I benefitted because one peer in particular would give me a copy of what he got from her.

 

...so what does that say about you ?

 

Better to cheat than repeat - what you don't know is always in the next row -

 

It says that I am a cheater, and I cheated to keep my job. When I didn't cheat, I was put on an improvement plan because my test scores were too low. I began cheating and I always finished around the middle.
