> Grades are often adjusted on a bell curve and honest students are disadvantaged when others cheat.

It depends per country. Here we use a grading system that isn't relative to how other students perform. You basically get a percentage score on how many questions you got right. Perfect score is 100. 55 and up is pass, below that is fail.

But still, teachers can make exams easier or harder depending on last year's scores, so there's that. In short, nobody will hone your mind for you, it's up to you to want to.

Grading curves have become really common practice. Can't let the poor students fail just because they didn't study. The dean doesn't like that and your career neither. So you only let a fixed percentage fail. It's sad.
