[QUOTE]Paris police detained a 52-year-old French mother who allegedly took an exam for her daughter Wednesday.
According to Le Parisien, the woman, identified only as Caroline D., dressed in Converse sneakers and low-rise jeans and also wore heavy makeup to the baccalaureate exam in order to look like the 19-year-old.
An exam protector, who had recently supervised another exam that the 19-year-old actually took, recognized the woman as an impostor.
School officials notified local police and discretely pulled the woman out of the exam after two hours in order to not disturb others taking the test.

I'm just wondering how only one invigilator recognized the 33 year age difference, makeup or not
this must be some pretty young looking woman to begin with
Mostly because in france, people of every age can take exams.
Wow, I always joked "daad, can you go write the exam for mee?" and some people actually try it for real.
Yeah, there's no age limit to take the baccalauréat. The oldest candidate is 91 years old.
I've always wondered what's actually stopping someone taking an exam for someone else.
Like one of my friends already had an A in math so I jokingly said "sit my exam for me", but it got me thinking about the measures they take to prevent people from doing that, because they're not very obvious.

I got ID'd on my way in to sit a Cisco exam, but they're a private company.

You have to present your ID for the baccalaureate, so that sort of shit doesn't work.
Funny tidbit on politics : one of the previous French ministers of education had been framed before his political career even started for fraud at the baccalaureate exam, as he smuggled copies of the enunciates to a bunch of students.

I'm talking about companies like AQA or something, the only way they know your name is from a mere piece of paper on your desk, even then - how would they know if you're sitting at the right desk, they don't know you.
oh my god those are some tiny ass desks, how do you US people fucking sit comfortable in that shit.

You've got to be kidding.
I demand pictures of the mother and the daughter for research purposes.
