By using YouTube the students can get a step by step tutorial on how to cheat. For example they are taught how to scan a coke label and on the back of the label where the nutrition information is supposed to be they put the test material in it's place. Cell phones are used to have notes down loaded to them. Students are also hiding powerful calculators inside the old calculators that are allowed during the exam.
New software is being created to assist the professors in helping to catch the cheaters. For example "Turnitin.com", and "SafeAssign" are a couple of the new software packages available. There is also anticheating hardware being put into place. To make sure John Doe is taking the GMAT they are taking the palm print of the individual to compare with the one taking the test.

As professors, we have access to turnitin.com here on our campus. Just a word to the wise!
