St. Petersburg records first cases of exam violations involving phones and cheat sheets

Court officials caught four people breaking rules during Russia's biggest school tests. Magistrates wrote up reports against students and teachers who caused problems during the exams. The cases happened when people brought banned items like phones and cheat notes. Officials say these actions twisted the real test results on purpose.

Darya Lebedeva works for the court system and shared details about what happened. A teenage boy carried his cell phone during the Russian language test. The 19-year-old student said he brought the device without meaning to do it. Court workers did not believe his excuse about the mistake.

Another student got caught with illegal help during her biology exam. Papers with answers fell from the girl's pocket during the test. She told officials she used the notes for studying before the exam started. The excuse did not save her from getting written up.

Teachers also faced trouble during the testing period. Two educators answered questions about student phones during Russian language exams. Court officials want to know if the teachers helped students cheat. All four people broke the same law about messing with official test scores.

The violations show serious problems with Russia's main graduation exams. Students need these test scores to enter universities across the country. Officials watch closely for cheating because fair results matter for everyone. Breaking exam rules can hurt a student's chances for college admission.
