  > I think that not telling students about different versions of tests is better for deterrence. No. Deterrence is not putting up a hidden camera. Deterrence is when you tell people the area is monitored by cameras. People will slow down their car when they know the police is around, not when they don't know. If you want to catch cheaters, you set up anti cheating. If you want deter cheaters, you warn them about anti cheating measures.

    Well, if you monitor a street, people slow down in this particular area and go back to their speeding once they leave the designed area. If students know which exams have extra measures, they won't cheat on them, and will get a free pass everywhere else. If you don't, sure - at first there is no deterrence, but later (after a few students get failed and exposed for cheating), it will deter others from trying.
