We know that any knowledge test almost always triggers tension and fear of not doing well. International language tests are no exception. Obviously, the need to obtain the required score for an important process, such as entering a university or immigration proceedings, leads us to to look for strategies to pass with the best possible score, but what happens What happens when someone wants to be "smart" and thinks of cheating? Is this a solution?

In this blog, the answer is NO The reason? These tests are protected by a highly sophisticated security circuit that is very difficult to circumvent. If you want to know what international test surveillance is like, read with me to the end and find out what consequences cheaters can face. Let's get started!

The security loop behind international testing

Behind the IELTS, TEF, etc., are official organizations such as: IDP, British Council, Paragon, CCI Paris Île-de-France, among others, which invest millions of dollars to guarantee the integrity of their tests.

As you might expect, just as in the classroom, with teachers guarding that students don't copy from each other, so too do teachers. not copying each otherthe test centers (whether for IELTS, CELPIP o TEF/TCF) are equipped with multiple surveillance cameras and highly trained supervisors to detect suspicious behaviors to detect suspicious behavior, strange eye movements or the use of any prohibited objects (cell phones, smartwatches, etc.).

Consequences of cheating on an international language test

Attempting to circumvent the security loop of these tests can have serious consequences for your process. 

For example, in the eagerness to pass with the best score, a person could try to impersonate another person to benefit them with the score, however, they would have to go through the fingerprint scanning or facial recognition.. Then, if a rare or suspicious signal is detected, naturally, the test result will be nullified. the test result will be annulled on the spot. on the spot. This would lead you to lose the money you invested in the test fee, which by the way, is expensive and, of course, penalties for fraudsters, penalties for fraudulent.

It would be very embarrassing that in a test that demonstrates a language level higher than school any student or professional would be caught cheating, but unfortunately these things appear as "pious solutions" in those who imagine that there is an easy way. This is why, at Planet Immilandwe warn not to be carried away by false ideas. International language exams can be passed with excellent scores if they are prepared with time and strategies. with time and strategies..

In addition, if it is proven that a person attempted to cheat, the test center will logically veto the person. will ban for a period of up to two years from taking any international exams. The result: the university admission process or even any immigration plans would be halted.

Contradictory results in the Speaking and Writing: when the trap is detected

Suppose a person manages to overcome physical surveillance, perhaps he or she circumvented this ring, but will not be able to cheat the assessment of language production skills, especially in the Canadian context. Here I share a table that illustrates what this case would look like:

You see, any attempt at cheating, no matter how small, will negate your effort and your money, no matter what you need with your test score.
