I went to a private school my entire schooling including university and medical school. We didnt have Cliffs Notes but we had things that were similar. Our lecturers would specifically pick things on exams that you would have had to actually read the book to know. For example, what was the colour of the walls in the room where conversation such and such took place. It was horrifying!Peter Hamilton said:Cheating at our private school was unheard of--nobody mentioned it,nobody tried it---The only thing which was used once were "Cliffs Notes',which you bought in a store,a small publication that condensed lengthy works of literature,while emphasizing important points--After all,none of us really wanted to actually read Moby Dick
