Cheating is dishonest, just like stealing and lying. If you cheat, you
must be prepared to accept the consequences of cheating. It's a risk,
and if you get caught, take full responsibility for your actions. With
that being said, here are dozens of ways that people cheat.

Correction Tape Method
Write your notes on correction tape, then roll it back into the dispenser. When you need the notes, simply act as if you're correcting mistakes and read the notes!Another Calculator Method
If you have a graphing calculator that you're allowed to use, type notes into it. Put it in your pocket. Borrow another calculator from someone the day of the test. When the proctor comes around to clear them, let them clear your friend's calculator. When the proctor isn't looking, switch the calculators!When It Comes To Getting Caught
Be careful and always be aware of where the teacher is looking; no method of cheating is successful if the teacher is looking right at you while you hold the notes in your hand and are frantically copying them onto the test. Also, be aware of what your colleagues are doing, as they would love to notify your professor or your dean of your actions. If it should ever come to that, and you know no one has no proof whatsoever that you cheated: deny, deny, deny! (Convince yourself as well as your adversaries you did not cheat, remaining firm and confident.) As long as they can not prove it but can only wonder or hear someone else's words against your own, you're in the clear. Don't get caught often though, or the authorities will get suspicious. The best policy is not to cheat.Locker Combination Method
This method was not mentioned above, and it will most likely only work on a math test. You will need something to write with and on. Group your answers and on the paper, write Lock #1 (the # represents the set of 3 problems you want answers for, so if you wanted answers for problems 4 to 6 on your test, you would write Lock #2,and so on) and write 3 test answers, and separate them with commas. For example, if my first set of answers were 135, 23, and 56, I would write something like Lock #1- 135,23, 56, so if someone looks through my bag or if someone looks at me while I am looking at my answers, they will only think that's a lock combination of mine at school, or wherever; when its really answers to my first 3 problems on my exam that my teachers going to give back to me tomorrow! If anyone asks about the big numbers, just say you accidentally misplaced a comma. Be sure to have your answers memorized before the test.Lastly, this will only work if you are given the same exact test in 2 or more sessions. And don't forget to write down the questions you need on a scrap of paper or on your hand (if someone questions, just say its your after school plans, or locker combo like before). Hand is better because the teacher may question the torn paper off the test. If you have to tear paper off the test, just say it was given to you like that
Clear Pencil Case and Index Card Method
Buy a clear pencil case and 5x8 index cards. Write on the index cards and stick them in the pencil case. During the test, just turn the pencil case over without looking when the teacher comes around.The Girls Only Method
- Takes a bit of planning and is a bit gross, but if you're desperate, you're desperate. Ask to get out of an exam to go to the toilet. If they say no then say subtly to a woman invigilator you need to change your pad (make sure you're not on your period that day, thats a bit gross). Earlier on, you will have written down notes on a sanitary pad, and put this one on. If you need more notes then write them on a new pad and wrap it back up. When in the bathroom (if it's a real exam the invigilator will probably escort you) look at the pad you have on and quickly memorize it. Then change it, put it in the bin, and replace it with the pad that has more notes. Memorize them quickly and then come out of the toilet as if nothing is wrong. Go back to the exam and scribble down the answers.
- Hide the answers in your bra. During the test, fiddle with your shirt and look down to see the answers or notes. No teacher will dare call you out!
Eye Glasses Method
- If you have glasses take a bit of paper, write your notes on it, fold it up and put it in the hinge. When you need them take off your glasses and take the paper, unfold it, If the teacher ask what you're doing say your hinge has a gap and is 'Un-even' and you're adjusting the paper.
- Then when done fold it back up put it back and continue.
- Throw out the paper later on.
Paper on back of Desk Method
- Write a cheat sheet and stick it onto the back of the desk in front of you! If your teacher comes by, slide the test up towards the front of your desk, so the cheat sheet is concealed.
Toilet Paper Method
- Write your notes on toilet paper, sneak it into your pocket, ask to go to the washroom. Take out your toilet paper and stick it to your shoe, but keep the written side facing down. When someone tells you about the paper, check your notes when no-one is looking then throw it out.
Thigh Method
- This works best when it is summer and you are wearing a short dress or short pants. Simply write your notes on your thigh and lift your pants or skirt up to view the notes. Make sure not to make it to visible.
Answer Key Method
You will need a pen 1. The day before the test, visit your teacher to "get some extra help" 2. If the teacher was grading tests before your visit, he/she might leave an answer key on his/her desk. 3. If (and most likely when) the teacher leaves the room, gets distracted, answers phone, etc., sneak a peek at the answer key. 4. Using your pen, record on your hand, arm, piece of paper, the answers to the test starting at the first question. 5. Be careful, and safe cheating! Tips/Warnings 1. Be careful. The teacher may have put out the wrong answer key to trick you. To be 100% sure it was the right key, while taking the test, read each answer choice to a question, and see if it makes sense to what you wrote. If so, happy cheating! 2. Remember that when you are copying off the answer key, you write down the number of the question followed by the answer to avoid confusion. 3. If the teacher will not leave, say him/her random things to read the key. Say things like "I like that bracelet" or "Did you get an e-mail from me" to keep the teacher distracted. Another smart, but risky idea is to get her phone number from somebody. Use a cell phone to call her number and keep her distracted.Under paper method
- Make sure your teacher is not walking around like usual. Do this when the teacher is on his/her classroom computer not paying attention to the students.
- Take out your notes once your start the test/quiz.
- Hide your notes under your test/quiz
- Peek under your quiz at your notes.
Shorts method
- Wear shorts the day you take a test. Write the answers on your shorts. Pretend to itch your thighs, and write down the notes.
The Torn Out Page Method
- Tear out the page(s) with all the necessary information on for the test out of your textbook at home.
- Tell your teacher the next day that the piece of paper got torn out of your textbook by your brother/sister or pet.
- When it's time for the test to start, slip the torn out page under your desk and put it under your feet.
- Look under your desk under your feet when you need information. Don't look at it too much, or your teacher might catch you, and you'd have to pay a fine to the school.
Spy Earpiece Method
- One of the latest most popular methods of cheating in exams is with
usage of a bluetooth spy earpiece] and an inductive transmitter. This
involves wearing a tiny micro earpiece that sits hidden inside the
earchannel. This will wirelessly connect to an inductive transmitter
which is hidden on your person somewhere, usually a neckloop to be worn
under the clothes or even a bluetooth pen or stylish glasses! The
inductive transmitter will in turn connect to a mobile phone or MP3
player in your pocket.
- So like the MP3 player method above you can record information and play it back to yourself, the difference being there is no wired earphone, if you go for the bluetooth option then the connection is completely wireless and undetectable. The other option is to make a call before you enter your exam, then communicate with someone via the earpiece and a microphone that is built into the inductive transmitter.
- You could even look into pairing a Bluetooth Spy Earpiece with a pinhole camera so that a third party can see the exam and tell you the answers!
Watch Method
Buy a watch that has a lid. Tape a piece of paper with your notes onto the watch. Pretend to check the time. This works best on timed tests. Teachers will just think that you are checking the time.Black Light Method
Get one of those black light pens that only show up under a black light and come with one attached. The day before the test, write some things that will probably be on the test on your desk. The next day, wear a hoodie and hide the pen in your sleeve. When no-one is looking, shine it on the area where you wrote before. Ta-da!Bookmark Cheat
If a teacher asks you to bring a book for when you are done the test, bring a bookmark with notes on it. Some bookmarks have, say.. multiplication 1- 12 on them. And make sure to hide the bookmark all the way in the book. If your done you can throw it away if not needed to get rid of evidence or erase the marks.Bracelet Method
If you manage to get your hands on an answer sheet before the test, make yourself a bracelet with different colors of string. It'll look like one of those knotted friendship bracelets, but match each color to a letter and you'll be all set. For example if A: Green, B: Yellow, and C: Pink if the answers were B, C, A, A, B then it would go yellow, pink, green, green, yellow.The Ski Pass
If you have a winter jacket with one of those clear faced pockets for a ski pass place your notes in there make sure it can be covered up or hidden and if it can't place it on your chair, so when you sit down the clear part is between your legs. When you need to look at your notes, just spread your legs. Also avoid Velcro, as will arouse suspicion.Hair Plucking method
(For very hairy people) This one cannot be used too often and is rarely ever useful. Use a tweezer to pluck patterns on your arm or hand. When your taking the test, look for the pores that are missing hairs, this may stand for what ever you want to to stand for. Pluck your hair close to the time when you take the test (under 2 days), otherwise you may find your hair regrowing. This only works if you manage to get the answer sheet or equivalent. It may be better to just use some subtle body paint...Nailology
Clip your nails from left to right at different heights. If your nails are short you may only be able to do true or false. If your nails are long, create a scheme for multiple choice questions, eg: 1/4 cut is A. you may be able to pull off more then one answer per nail if your good at nail clipping. this only works in those times when you manage to get your hands on the answer sheet.The "Little Notes" Cheat
What you do is you take the smallest papers possible, and write the notes on them. Then crumple them up and stick them under your leg or put your hand flat down over them when asked to clear your desk. When the test begins, you pull them out and slide them under your paper and only have one answer showing at a time!Another Hoodie Cheat
Well, hopefully the weather is moderate enough wherever you live so that it's reasonable to wear a hoodie. If your hoodie has a pocket in front (the kind in which you can put your hands through) then it's pretty easy to put notes in there. Sit behind someone (a recommendation, as always) so your chances of being seen are considerably minimized. Make the notes something like small flashcards, something that doesn't get folded up easily or makes a noise whenever you search for them. And try not to take so long; teachers likely notice who finishes last and especially if the student does surprisingly well given that it took them so long to complete it (for the excuse "I was being careful and taking my time" can only work so much). They're bound to get suspicious.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.The Dictionary Again..
Write notes of the test or answers onto the dictionary with a pencil. This means you will be able to rub it out later. Memorize some of the writing test or try to answer some of the questions. Then, using a confused look, look at your dictionary and get the information you were looking for. Remember, use a personal dictionary, not one provided for you.White/Blackboard or Environment Cheat
If you have one of these teachers who have stuff written all over the board and it's full of due dates, random stuff, and funny notes to the teacher from students, this is a bit risky but extremely helpful. Before class, preferably when the teacher is out of the room, write down some acronyms or stuff to help you remember answers to the test. If you are really daring you might just be able to conceal notes between lines or in corners. You can also do this by writing on the floor, the wall, behind a bookcase you're near, etc. It also can be helpful if your teacher is blind, and won't easily see the notes.Folder Cheat
Get two pocket folders and put them upright, like in second grade, to be kind of funny. If your teacher is strict, do not do. just pretend to be silly with the folders and hide your cheat sheet or study guide in your desk. Pretend to look confused and put your head on the desk, look inside at the answers. Only attempt if teacher stays in front of room.
