Cheating in exams or tests

I assume that anyone who is sitting at a test or an exam would want to pass. I hope that you all take your exams seriously and study well for them. However, having a backup plan in case you forget what you studied can be a big nerve-calmer...Obviously, for the following cheats you will need to have notes so there is still some 'studying' involved. Therefore the first step is to make notes.

• Make notes in point form.
• get notes from relevant books or notes jotted down during classes.
• work past papers and include the answers in these notes.
• identify trends common in past papers, i.e. identify which questions appear in more than one past paper. These are the most important.

Now the next step is to find ways and means of getting access to these notes during the exam. Do one or more of the following:

• print the notes in fine print and hide these in your pocket / in your shoes. During the exam skim through the paper and identify the questions to which you don't know the answers. keep these in mind and ask for permission to go to the toilet. When you get there open the notes and identify the answers..now dash back to your seat before you forget the answers, jot them down quickly in point form and then use these points to expand them into proper answers. This is the best way and probably the safest way of cheating during exams.
  
• If you use admittance cards for exams: scan the card in high resolution then use Photoshop or any other picture editing software to insert notes between the lines of text on the card. Print the card and cut it in the same size as the original card. Make sure to match the colour of the ink and that you do not overcrowd the card with notes. It's best if you only use this method if the cards are not checked. I've used this method and it worked but the school I go to never checks the cards, we just put them on the desk during exams.
• I love this one: Get a Coke bottle or any other beverage bottle, carefully remove the wrapping from around the bottle. Make sure that you leave the wrapping intact. Scan the wrapping and use Photoshop to remove the words in fine print (y'know the words that tell you how many calories, vitamins etc are present in that particular beverage). Now use fine print to type down as many notes as possible. Print it (on glossy paper if you want to be extra careful) , cut it out and stick it back on the bottle. Make sure that the bottle is not empty. Leave the bottle on the desk during the exam and sip some of its contents from time to time to add more realism and conviction. If the invigilators ask you to remove the bottle, just tell them that the stress of the exam makes you feel parched. I tried this cheat twice and it worked perfectly! I was sitting in the front row and the invigilator was just a few feet away from me and she never noticed a thing! If I passed those 2 exams it's all thanks to this cheat.
  






• For the following method you will require the help of two or more people: Buy a big eraser, the bigger the better, and during the exams write a question on the back of the eraser (example: Question 2 b) with a pencil. Now make a signal which you and your friends have agreed upon (example: tap your fingers on the desk or cough twice). Your friend will now ask you for the eraser from which he/she will read the question you wrote down. Your friend will now rub off your question with his/her finger, write the answer and pass it on to you. If the invigilator becomes suspicious, quickly rub off the text on the eraser with your thumb so as to eliminate all proof. It's best if you practice this before the exam and try not to make the whole charade obvious to the casual viewer.
• Another method is to get an old watch, dismantle it and behind the time hands put a small circular piece of paper with notes in fine print. Wear long sleeves for extra security. If you need to access these notes during the exams just lift your sleeve and casually look at your watch as if you're checking the time. Again don't over-do it and don't make it obvious. It's best if you do this while the invigilator is looking away.
• Etch notes on one side of a pencil or on a ruler. Use a sharp razor to do this and don't etch too deep, make the etches as fine as possible so that not even the casual viewer can see these.
  
• Get a translucent pen and dismantle it. Print notes in very fine print and wrap this around the part that contains ink (it's best if you use glue for this). Now put the pen back together and give a light coating of varnish to the pen so as to make it less translucent.
• if you are using a calculator for the exam do the following (the calculator must be black): get a black pen/marker and write your notes on the back of the calculator. These will be practically invisible unless light shines from a particular angle.
• Get an arm band (such as the ones joggers use to fix iPods to their arm) and wear this under your sleeve. now get a rubber-band (a wide one and needs to be extra stretchy and extra long) and write notes on it with a pen. attach one end of the rubber band to the arm-band and stretch it to your hand, loop the other end through one of your fingers and read the notes from the rubber band. in case an invigilator gets suspicious, unloop the rubber band from your finger and the rubber band snaps back into your sleeve so there will be no proof of what you were doing (unless they make you undergo a strip search...but I think that that would be in breach of some civic rights).
• You can also convince someone to take the test instead of you. Find someone that looks like you, give them your ID card and pay him/her for their service. This cheat is often underlooked but works fine particularly when large groups of people are sitting for the exam. The ID card isn't "really" checked since people often appear completely different in ID photos.

That's it I guess, enjoy. The thrill of cheating during exams is priceless, it's like parachuting only less scary and there are no parachutes involved :) ...and
whateva', I do what I want...

Please keep in mind that if you get caught you'll get into a lot of trouble, so be careful and I'm not responsible for what you do...OK?
Good Luck !
