I wrote formulas and other stuff on the inside label of water bottles back in highschool
Also in my computer engineering class sophomore year, the teacher always said “the key to being a great engineer is finding the easiest way to do things”
So during the hands on final I passed with a breeze. Day 2 was the test final and I was f***ing lost so I said f*** it and opened up the textbook website and found most of the answers I didn’t know.
The teacher stopped me on the way out and said he looked at my screen and saw I was cheating and that is grounds for expulsion blah blah blah. Told the dude I took his advice and found the easiest way. He sent me and email the next day congratulating me on a great semester and getting an A.
This post is less about a cheating tactic but more so about what I was able to pull off. I know it’s a lot but I think it’s worth the read
In the last semester of high school we have to take 5 hour exams which decide if we’re allowed to go to university (a-levels)
They’re very important and we usually learn for them a year in advance
But due to me being at a very low point at that time, I barely showed up to school and didn’t prepare for any of my exams
However, I had read this one book we were talking about in class
In the morning before our exam I look up which books we were reading in class this semester and I decide to print out a wiki summary for each of them and read them on my way to school
But since I was almost late, I could only print out the first page for each book
I was hella depressed and decided to not read the summaries at all and just leave it be
In school, I’m sitting in front of my exam and just write away without really reading the tasks.
My mind was flowing and I wrote like 13-14 pages in 4+ hours.
That would’ve easily gotten me an A, so I was about to leave.
Right as I’m packing up my stuff, my neighbor whispers at me and asks me a question about another book.
I told her I couldn’t help her cause I had only read (“title of the book”)
She looked at me and said “You do know we can’t write about that book right?”
I read the task again and barely have a heart attack because my book really wasn’t listed in there
Now I had exactly 45 minutes left, so I told the teacher I had to use the toilet (which were also guarded by teachers)
I had put the printed summaries into my shoes in the morning, so I just took one of em out and decided to memorize the most I could without being suspicious
But I ended up being on the toilet for too long because the teacher outside already knocked on the door. I put the summary back into my shoe and went back into the exam hall, ready to just throw my s*** away and dip, because I had a total blackout. I couldn’t remember what I just read
And then again, right as I’m about to put my water into my backpack, a Jimmy Neutron-esque mind flash hits me
My thoughts are suddenly flowing again and I feel like I read the book over a hundred times already
I hit perc mode and wrote 9-10 pages about a book I hadn’t read, in 40 minutes
Ended up gettin a B for it
I will always love my class neighbor for reminding me. You’re a real one, Lisa
Literally over half of the students in a psych course of mine just failed our first test and were planning on meeting up irl for the next one
Best score was 14/20 out of everyone in the groupme chat

that's SMART

Glad you figured it out and got a B in the end. That was a huge plot twist right there lmaooooooooo. If I were you I prolly would've done the same thing. If I still couldn't figure it out, I'd say the computer died and deleted my whole essay during the last 5 minutes and ask to come back the next day or something just to give myself some extra time cuz WHEW that's a huge hit lol

You a real one for reading all that
And yeah, I would’ve loved to be able to do that, but these exams are literally at the end of our school career here in Europe. They’re strict af. You can’t retake them unless you’re really ill and have a doctor’s notice. And even if you do, they change up the whole exam.
All of it was written on paper btw, to “prevent cheating”
So I wrote a total of 20+ pages by hand in 5 hours straight 😭😭😭
Couldn’t use my hand for the rest of the day

by hand?
at my school the English exam is either a 10 minute presentation or an essay and it's typed, so I just assumed you typed yours. That's terrible
Wore ripped jeans and would write answers on my knees and when I wanted I to look at it I just pretend to scratch my knee and pull the ripped part over where I wrote it.

it really is looking back at it
it really is looking back at it
And I need to ask, is every test 5 hours? or 5 1-hour long tests? Cuz 5 hours is an extremely long time to sit and take a test
None, high school was EASY as s*** bro. Literaly could just show up and got straight A’s in AP classes and s***.
This is true but I think it’s cause the best teachers always taught the AP and honors classes. So easy and chill
First year of college I would take exams with groups of people and each of us would take turns using our accounts until we got 100 then distributed the answers
So my junior and senior year in hs we all got ipads because of a casino that opened in town throwing money at the school's
And every teacher had to use them in class. They did not know how to police them.
I took ap history and cheated on every test which was taken on the ipads and I landed a 108% in the class lmao
Thanks to those ipads I low key got into one of the best unis in my state
Never cheated in college it's too risky
At my uni for some of my online classes you had to go to a proctored exam room on campus and they’d have somebody watch over all the students. I always put the exam review answers on my phone and would just pull that s*** up no fear between my legs. Classroom had cameras too
And I need to ask, is every test 5 hours? or 5 1-hour long tests? Cuz 5 hours is an extremely long time to sit and take a test
no, these were special exams which decide if we graduate and are allowed to study. we had three tests like that and then one presentation which has to be 45mins. if you pass all of that, you’re allowed to go to college.
Had one teacher who was so easy to trick, we had a project we had to do on posterboard and everything. The day when everyone turned it in I just didn't do it, then a few days later when my grade was a 0 I told him I turned it in but he must've misplaced/lost it and I was acting so angry and outraged he fell for it
Would write formulas on the desk right before Physics tests and would simply have my arms on the desk covering them when the teacher passed tests around.
Had the phone under my legs, sat in the back of class for plenty of tests.
Had my phone hidden in the calculator sleeve
Wrote answers on the inside of a water bottle packaging
Wrote answers/formulas on the back of a calculator
One time was so damn lazy, didn't do the homework, the whole class turned in their homework in a stack, I went into the stack and took someone else's paper and erased their name, wrote mines then put it back
this mf gaslit his teacher
I remember I failed a math class in high school (freshman year) so I had to do summer school at home online. I started copying and pasting the exact questions that were asked me and I eventually found every answer to the entire course, saved my entire summer. I still had to be careful about it and submit things daily, but the online school systems back then weren’t smart enough to catch certain things like they are now.
They had you take the final at the actual school during the summer though. Mfs put me in a huge ass room all to myself so I immediately went to the same site with all the answers
