The most common form of cheating is trying to use a mobile phone to get extra help. But this inquiry has warned of another growing high tech problem; pupils connecting to the internet through their watches.

Such smart watches are already banned in exams, but inquiry chairman Sir John Dunford said that invigilators struggle to tell the difference between a conventional watch and an online version, and so a blanket ban was needed.
這種能上網(wǎng)的智能手表已經(jīng)被禁止在考試中使用，但是此次調(diào)查的主席，約翰·鄧福德爵士表示，監(jiān)考人員很難區(qū)分傳統(tǒng)手表和智能手表，因此有必要全面禁止所有手表被帶入考場(chǎng)。
The Joint Council for Qualifications, representing the exam boards, said such a complete ban on watches could be in place by next summer.
