To answer your question re batches. Yes, each batch (mana) contains the 
tests of students who sat together in the same classroom. The batches may 
range in number from 1 to 48 (which is quite unusual). the average batch is 
between 15 and 20.

Cheating is quite easy to detect but not always can a marker register a 
complaint against the offending party. The first sign would be discrepancies 
between girsa A and girsa B on the multiple choice questions. In order to 
register a complaint a student must have a previously agreed upon number of 
the "wrong girsa" answers: say 7 out of 9 in a certain module or all the MC 
answers in another (with less of that type of question).

Other instances of cheating range from an examiner detecting two students 
(or more!) with the identical yet not "run-of-the mill) mistake in a certain 
question / certain questions. Or the right answer to the wrong question OR 
identical spelling mistakes (and I do not refer to the "then/than" common 
mistake). A sudden drastic change in handwriting may also be suspect. 
Questionable cases receive more than one scrutiny. These are the most common 
occurences tho there are other cases.
