The Calculator Notes Cheat
This only works for tests in which you know you will need (and are
allowed) to use a calculator. It also only works when your calculator
comes with a nice little plastic "case" (which is actually not a case at
all, but a piece of plastic that only protects one side of the
calculator, but you get the point). Anyway, sometime before you actually
take the test (the night before, for example, when you could be
studying) write some notes on one or two scraps of paper (that's the
professionally recommended dosage), focusing on answers, formulas,
definitions, etc., that you know you have to know but obviously don't
know because you're having to cheat. Place the notes in the so-called
case and simply attach the calculator in its place, and voila, the notes
are concealed. When you need them on the test, simply remove the
calculator, look at the notes and pretend to be using the calculator
(and probably you will be, on a test involving formulas and such); be
aware of how often you remove and replace the calculator into its case.
If the teacher is there, he or she might notice the persistent snapping
of the calculator. To get by this, you can always sneak the notes onto
your desk, or on your chair, in between your legs, but once you do this,
there really isn't any turning back.
