Accused of Cheating on Exam in Nursing School? Help Me!

I am so stressed out right now! Last Friday we had an exam in my A&P class and it included a written essay along with 75 questions with fill in the blank and multiple choice. First of all let me be honest and say I did not cheat. I have no reason to lie to anyone on here because you don’t know anything about me. Here is the story so Tuesday my professor sent me an email and said she needed to talk to me after lecture on Tuesday. I got my exam back during class and I scored 92 (was very happy about).

When I talked to her after class she accused me and this other guy of cheating on the fill in the blank because we had the same responses. The guy is an acquaintance I just know him from class and he did sit bedside me during the exam. He must have cheated from my test paper because I know I sure didn’t. I have to go before the dean Friday and I am so scared. It is like I have no chance of winning and having them believe my story. He of course is denying it. Please advise me here. Thank you!

    What a tough situation! I feel your pain and I believe you. My advice is to go to this guy and tell him to confess and take some one with you when you confront him or tape record it. Your dean will see it as a he said she said scenario and it could go either way but stuff like this can be tricky. I would go in there Friday and be confident and explain the situation and say that you have never ever got into trouble for cheating before so why would you do it now. I would even get some people to do character witnessing for you like other professors or high school teachers. Also get emotional too (which you probably wouldn’t have any problems doing since you are so stressed).

    If worse comes to worst tell the guy who cheated off you and the dean you will pursue legal action. Let us know how it goes!

    I knew of a similar situation and the people involved just had to re-take another version of the exam. It ended up that the person who cheated did horrible on the exam and the other person did good (because they were telling the truth in the first place). I would tell the dean you would be willing to take another exam right now to prove you know the material and don’t need to cheat to pass and suggest that the guy take the exam right then as well. Then the truth will come out.
