Any why is this allowed on this platform?
It must be finals time at universities. I have been seeing many "jobs" posted by students flat out asking to take exams for them. One even had to audacity to say (I am paraphrasing) "don't even bother applying for this offer unless you are an expert. I need a full score on this exam"!
I might undestand asking for help with homeworks, but taking an exam for them... This is clear-cut unethical and it should not be allowed on Upwork.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Ethical freelancers like you and me and others have been asking Upwork to do more T&S work around this for a long time. I just flagged a job where the student uploaded the final assignment prompt, which clearly listed it as a final exam. If Upwork didn't let so many people get away with this activity, then "clients"/ students wouldn't think they could so easily get away with it. As it is I can do a search and find top rated freelancers who have built careers doing homework and final exams.

It isn't allowed and if reported, somethin is mostly done. Unfortunately not always.
