1.1 Reliabili y o assessmen in online exams
Academic dishones y is likely a phenomenon olde han uni e si ies. One o i s

ques ion o many highe educa ion eache s and s a in ecen yea s. This sho pape
will con ibu e o he a ailable da a and discussion by compa ing in igila ed and non-

ake-home exams by Beng sson (2019) addi ionally sugges s ha whe e ake-home
exams can excel in es ing highe -o de cogni i e skills, p epa ing o in-class exams
can lead o supe icial lea ning. In-class exams do no ma ch well wi h he pedagogical

Ahn (2023), he mos o en ci ed d awback o ake-home exams was ha hey a e
easily comp omised by une hical s uden beha iou .
Acco ding o he s udy by Chan and Ahn (2023), conduc ed du ing COVID-19
es ic ions, non-in igila ed online exams can p o ide meaning ul in o ma ion abou
s uden lea ning and do no lead o signi ican chea ing based on he sco es being
consis en wi h hose o in igila ed exams. Ano he e iew on academic in eg i y in
online assessmen by Holden e al. (2021) pain s a mo e inconsis en pic u e. In 4 ou
o 8 s udies, highe ac ions o chea ing we e epo ed in online s udies; in wo s udies,
he chea ing was simila online and on-si e; and in wo s udies he (sel -) epo ed

engage in online "e-chea ing" a 29 - 41% o he pa icipan s, whe eas o " adi ional"
classes, he epo ed igu es we e sligh ly lowe , a 21 - 32%.
The a ailabili y o ma h sol e applica ions exace ba es he endency o chea on
homewo k and es s aken a home. Sloan-Lynch e al. (2022) ha e no ed ha hese

sugges ha one way o educing mo i a ion o chea is by aking he s uden s' lea ning

Many s uden s encoun e signi ican di icul ies wi h basic concep s, such as a ional

linea equa ions as he mos equen ly men ioned p oblema ic a eas in highe

loga i hms, igonome y, geome y, p oposi ions, decimal numbe s, and ma hema ical

which a e c ucial in uni e si y-le el ma hema ics, may con ibu e o he p opensi y o

The e a e many aspec s o conside when in e p e ing indi idual esul s o bo h non-

componen s include he oppo uni y, he incen i e, he p essu e o need o chea , and

1.2 Ma hema ics Basic Skills Tes

used a Tampe e Uni e si y. Since 2023, he BST has also been used a LUT
Uni e si y. The es consis s o 16 basic ma hema ics asks and is implemen ed using

4 DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS
In ou e alua ion, all ques ions in he BST a e a Bloom's axonomy le els 1-2 and

Ques ions 12, 13, 15, and 16 p o ed o be he mos di icul ones in bo h es

esul s mi o some o he indings o Lima e al. (2019) and Myllykoski e al. (2018),
in which common di icul ma hema ical a eas such as igonome y and loga i hms
(o exponen ial unc ions) we e iden i ied. The ques ion in ol ing a de ini e in eg al

Pe älä (2023), he s uden s’ compe ence in in eg als has been lowe han in o he

is also in line wi h ou obse a ions.
The di icul ques ions o he BST a e easily sol ed wi h symbolic calcula o s, AI

obse a ions, we sugges ha s uden s a e mo e likely o chea , when chea ing is

he lowes axonomic le el skills due o he ample oppo uni y, eadily a ailable ools,
and he ease o e-chea ing in he es s. Based on ou esul s, we echo his
ecommenda ion.
Rega ding he aud iangle heo y (e.g., Holden, 2021), we conclude ha he
absence o p essu e o incen i e o chea (i.e., no cou se poin s awa ded based on

This obse a ion may call in o ques ion he alidi y o he heo y in ou con ex –
namely, ha p essu e, incen i e, o need a e p e- equisi e ac o s o chea ing. On
