From your tone it doesn't sound like you're comfortable with the idea. Would it be so bad to try retaking it? Would your parents be angry or give you grief over it? I know there's different levels of acceptability of bribery in different parts of the world so I'm guessing your somewhere where it's not as strictly monitored as where I am.

But go with your instincts. At the end of the day it's you taking the risk of paying a bribe, not your parents, and it's your moral choice, not theirs. But at the same time I know how annoying parental pressure can be!

Don't forget, you, not OP, are also taking a risk. We're all on the road, it's fucking disgusting that people will do this instead of just study for a little bit.
