Don't cheat in your exams. It's not work.

-------------------------------------

That is what I heard on TV said by a native speaker. My question is:
It's not work=It does not work?
Or, it is only acceptable in spoken language?

Thank you.

Are you sure the person didn't say "It's not worth it."?

I went back to view it again. You are right, he did say it's not worth it. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. You're welcome.

You are right; he did say it's not worth it. :tick:
You need a semicolon after "right". You have two independent clauses and there is no conjunction; you can't use a comma.
