Fraud as a deceptive act is observed in a multitude of scenarios, the baccalaureate exams not being bypassed. Our research aims to provide insights into fraud tentative cases at the Baccalaureate exam in Romania based on a quantitative approach using microdata from 2021. How many students attempt fraud at the baccalaureate exam grouped by academic and demographic factors and what are the main aspects that influence the likelihood of fraud attempt are the topics explored in this paper.
