Sure, tests are hard, but now cheating is going to be even harder. Those who want to take the easy way out by using sneaky tricks to help them on their exams are going to have to suck it up and study like the rest of their fellow classmates. That's because there's a new high tech aid that schools and exam centers can use to catch people who are cheating. Enter, the drone.

In China, the only way to get into college is by taking the annual National College Entrance Exam, also known as the gaokao. Because the stakes are so high on this one test, many students have tried everything to beat the system. Some have even smuggled in cameras through eyeglasses, water bottles, and pens to send images of the test to their friends.

But that's going to be nearly impossible to do thanks to the exam center's secret weapon: silent flying drones that will detect suspicious radio signals sent by the cheaters' transmitters. In other words, there's a new sheriff in town, and it can pick up things you can't even see with the human eye. Anyone who even tries to be sneaky will be busted immediately, and we're pretty sure they're going to face serious consequences.

Isn't it ironic that high tech tricks are just getting outsmarted by even more high tech tricks? It kind of makes you wonder… wouldn't it just be easier to study in the first place?
