What are the chances of getting caught plagiarizing? (1 Viewer)

[Validity]

not a whole essay but maybe a few sentences throughout the essay

Honestly, if the source is obscure enough...they'll probably never notice a copied sentence.

But I'm curious as to why you consider this one sentence to be worth copying?

i don't know how to reword it but i like it. Its exactly the same word for word as well... and im just worried it might get picked up on because it's from a band 6 essay

You will be fine don't worry, unless many other people have used the same essay.

If you're really scared about it then right click on a word and go synonyms, or look some up on the internet

It that case, perhaps you might get noticed. Seeing as how you like the wording, but could not reproduce it yourself, perhaps it will stand out in your essay and give the marker reason to search for it...

Hard to reword something yourself from a band 6 model answer. If you reword a sentence or even in a phrase, it could change the whole meaning of what you write.

so they actually go searching for these things? well.. the rest of my essay has similar language to the quotes so as long as it doesnt stand out, it should be fine?

I have a feeling markers are told which specific question they are marking so one would expect that they do some preliminary research beforehand.

I doubt one sentence will get picked up either way...
