Examination misconduct is defined as any unacceptable behavior during an examination. Today’s examination administration in this country is confronted with all kinds of examination misconduct that has taken on large different and frightening dimensions; students no longer and their books, attend class/lecture notes, let alone paying attention to their teachers. Instead, they go about looking for unhealthy ways to pass their exam.
