Teachers cannot reliably detect cheating when using Google Forms in locked mode because students may still access external resources or collaborate.

Google Forms locked mode does not track or flag suspicious behaviors like switching tabs, accessing other devices, or collaborating with others; it only prevents opening new tabs within the browser, which can be bypassed.
