How badly does a mark of academic dishonesty hurt one's chances?

<p>A question on this test was identical to one on a homework worksheet that my teacher had said the test was based on. I was reviewing for the test during the class period prior using the homework worksheet. When I took the test, I recognized that a question on it was the exact same question as a question on the homework, so I wrote down the answers to the question without showing any work. Because of this, my teacher believed that I had looked at someone else’s paper, when in fact I had just recalled the answers from memory.</p>
