The only encouragement they had was the two-attempttests. For this reason, one sees the participants percentage was still 100% for T3’s first attempt,A1 in comparison to the 78% for T3 in Figure 1. The interesting, yet surprising results is that withless possibility of cheating students still did better, while they were given more chances (MAT) tolearn and do well in the course, given that the examination material is the same for both abovecourses, no adjustments done to any of the questions pools
