Forms of Examination Malpractices

Examination malpractice is a deliberate act of wrong doing, contrary tom official examination rules, designed to place a candidates at an unfair advantage or disadvantage over others.
Denga and Denga (2001) gave an outline of examination malpractice ranging from simple grafting when students stretch their neck, (eyes) to see other students answer scripts to a variety of sophisticated through this gracefully inconceivable means. Itemized below are some of the various forms of examination malpractice:
1.    Cheating: Cheating occurs in three specific instances, it occurs in examination hall, at the marking stage and at collating stage. In the examination hall, students may introduce parts of the lecture notes and other elicits materials into the examination to use in answering the questions.

Copying forms peers, exchange of answer sheets or subscripts to trade points, array with other students to give or receive answer by signal during examination, arrange to sit with bright students in order to copy from them, write critical formular on notes or parts of their bodies that are not easily exposed to the invigilators, copying some vital points on handher chiefs or on their desks which they regard as private prosperity and cannot be searched and so on.
At the marking stage, examination malpractice can occur during marketing exercise such practices include: marker malpractice. In this instance a corrupt marker may be influence to deliberately alter marks designed to inflate or deflects a candidate original mark. Awards and certificate in the past, assurance of certificate was solely confined to examination bodies. In the recent years, printers and syndicates with high technology deliberately enhance initial award and/or certificates.

2.    Examination Development: The common forms of examination malpractice at this level are leakage. Here the content of the examination is revealed or disclosed to the examination candidate prior to taking the examination. In most cases, it usually involves one or more of the members of the examination bodies-printer, messengers among others.
3.    Examination Administrator: During administration of examinations, several forms of malpractice take place which is impersonation: here an individual who is not register. This often is made possible through the collision between such cases. University students and sometimes teachers take money from examination candidate to write examination on their behalf.   
4.    Smuggling of Foreign Materials: This is the most common form of examination malpractice. It relates to the introduction of unauthorized materials (e.g points, charts answer booklets etc) into the examination hall. Such materials are usually smuggled into the examination hall by the candidate in parts shoe, herms, bras or information written in part of their body.
5.    Collision: In collision malpractice, candidate dates enhance by inadequate spacing may engage in unauthorized passing of information between themselves.
