Some people will go to great lengths to get into medical school as was recently proven when students were caught using a seriously high-tech method to cheat.
Arthit Ourairat, dean and president of Rangsit University in Thailand, posted pictures on Facebook of “smart” glasses and smartwatches used to cheat on admissions tests, held May 7 and 8, for its College of Medicine, Faculty of Dentistry and Faculty of Pharmacy. “This was the most high-tech exam cheating system I’ve ever seen,” Ourairat told the Manager.
“The team did it real-time,” AFP reported. The team consisted of three students wearing glasses with unusually thick earpiece frames which had a tiny wireless spy camera embedded in the frame. There are conflicting reports as to whether the glasses were livestreaming the exam questions or capturing the questions, but the exam was sent to a group of “tutors.” The tutors would then supply the correct answers to students wearing smartwatches.
