Search Results: how to answer that

Obviously it isn't right to cheat but that's what I did long ago and would do it again if I had to. I had already prepared and practiced for the exam with a tutor during summer school. I took all that time, all that month of preparation and really thought I was improving. All for nothing when I retook the state exam.

I had an overall good GPA, completed my community hours and there was nothing else lacking. Everything was good except that one standardized reading exam (many other students were failing it too) I was sick of failing. I had enough and cheated from another girl's (someone that was retaking the exam too but I felt like she knew the answers) scantron sheet. I passed on the 2nd retake (3rd time) in my junior year of HS and I never heard from that exam ever again.

I was desperate I guess. Honestly would you do what I did if you've tried everything, even got tutored and nothing works except cheating? To me, this seems like an exception and a good example of ''in love and war, everything is fair''. I wouldn't have gotten my HS diploma (never been able to even go to college, finish my major, etc) without passing that one exam.
