One of my matesonce cheated on his A-Level Philosophy exam by writing stuff on his shirt, quite how he got away with it I don't know. Anyway, the reason he did this was so that he'd get the grades he needed to go to the same university as his at the time girlfriend.
For some reason or another, he took it upon himself to tell his girlfriend what he had done, who quickly proceeded to dump him because of it.
In an attempt to make it up to her, my friend wrote to the exam board confessing his sin, only for them to respond with something along the lines of 'Oh Really! Well, in that case we're going to take away all your grades you've ever attained and bar you from taking any more. Ever.'
The only reason he managed to get out of this was because the headmaster of his school wrote to the exam board telling them that he had a psychotic illness that made him prone to periods of madness!
