Cheating on an exam does not always mean one has 'lack of ethics'. It may mean the opposite - say, "my parents aren't paying out of their veins for me to waste time on this nonsense."

So drop out of college then. No-one is forcing you to take the exam.

I am not talking about myself. Young people are strongly forced to pass the exam by multitude of strong incentives, including societal pressure and prospects for their financial well-being.
