<p>In elementary school, my friend and I would sit within earshot of each other during tests. We’d pretend we were drumming out of boredom when we’re really sending each other messages in morse code.</p>
<p>We never really had to cheat that much though, cuz we’re liek smart and all.</p>
<p>I remember watching a hilarious youtube video about cheating… but unfortunately I can’t remember the name of it anymore :/</p>
<p>In Chemistry during the finals, we were allowed to use our calculators. Since we just had a math midterm, everyone wrote down the chem notes in the calculator during the break and slipped it into the case. When it was time we would open the case and see. </p>
<p>This one was funny. The kids on the other row would cough once for a twice for b and so forth. The teacher thought those kids were sick, but didn’t know they were cheating.</p>
<p>^Coughing.</p>
<p>I remember the story of that guy who cheated on the British version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. He’d stall and wait for his friend in the audience to cough (once for A, twice for B, etc.) and then eventually he won!</p>
<p>When they looked through the videos you can so hear the coughing in the background. When they questioned them, he was all like, oh yeah, I’m sick and I cough a lot or something like that.</p>
<p>But during the interrogation, he was completely fine. </p>
<p>Hahahaha</p>
<p>kids in my school take off the wrappers around water bottles and write notes or vocab on the inside, plain part of the wrapper and then put the wrapper back on the bottle and take their tests with the water bottle on their desk. everytime they go for a sip, they also get an answer</p>
<p>Last year in PreCal (god awful class), we had tests every Friday. I had the class sixth period and remember one day when the kids had gotten answers from an earlier period. One guy actually wrote the answers down and taped the paper to the back of the kid who sat in front of him. It was a normal sized sheet of paper. Didn’t get caught (by the teacher at least, other kids noticed what was going on).
The teacher also had us place our scantrons face up on her desk after we finished the test. The scantrons were also sorted by test form on her desk. There was a seat right next to her desk, where the student could’ve very easily just glanced over to get the answers.</p>
<p>Best: Kids just write down notes and answers on their desk if they’re sitting behind someone else and at an angle so the teacher can’t see them do it. </p>
<p>Worst: Two kids in my World Religions class, one sits behind the other, turned in the exact same essay on the same topic that they had worked on minutes before class. The teacher found out right away and held them back from class (he gave them both big fat 0/30s). </p>
<p>Nothing too creative that I can think of…</p>
<p>First grade:</p>
<p>I wrote the answers on a spelling test and I put that piece of paper on my lap. I got caught, hahaha so stupid.</p>
<p>Uh when teachers are giving tests where each row has a different test version, I have diagonal swapped tests with someone so that the person next to me has the same test. Also for the chairs with the metal “bookholders” underneath them, I have tapped the metal bar with my foot a certain amount of times to ask a certain question and my friend would tap back 1-4 times for a, b, c, d. Before tapping a question I would either double tap or quadrouple tap the metal bar and he would tap back the same amount of times to confirm he is ready. If I double tap then that means I am going to tap the first digit of the question and do a pause and then tap the second digit after 5 seconds. If I quad tapped initally then that means my question is somewhere 1-9 and however many times I kick the bar is what question I’m asking.</p>
<p>Not really cheating but what we do duringtests is slap our legs andd occasionally do a sort of drumroll slap dubbed the spanky leg lol. Another class coughs in the same manner. another sniffs.</p>
<p>Funny story: My friends class was sniffing [not frugs] and this rlly annoying sub calls her up and asks her if she needs a tissue REALLY persistently. and not in a ‘i know what you’re up to’ way. more of a ‘are you sick?’ way and she was just like "…o.O’ </p>
<p>Also at 12 we all clap b/c all the hands are in 1 position. Our science teacher joins us, but the others get so p1ssed! lmao</p>
<p>…i’m such a bad story teller…</p>
<p>one girl wrote notes on her hand… but then raised the same hand to ask the teacher a clarification question. It was kind of obvious…</p>
<p>When we did Controlled Assessments in German, what we had to do was basically memorise an essay and rewrite it with no notes to help us, but we were allowed to use our dictionaries. (I didn’t, as I have a photographic memory and I learnt my essay on Lady GaGa word-for-word at like eleven the night before lol.) So obviously, everyone writes stuff inside the dicitionaries and pretends they’re looking stuff up. One of the smartest boys actually wrote his entire essay on Ricky Gervais in the front two blank pages. Our teacher was so dopey she didn’t suspect a thing. She cried whenever we got good marks.</p>
<p>On another note, two boys turned in the same essay for Drama one time and that got pretty scary. One of the same boys found out from an older student what our mock exam question would be for Drama and wasted no time in boasting about it to his friends. One of the girls in another class then complained to the teacher how unfair it was that our class had been told (she though our teacher had told us) and they hadn’t. Also rather ridiculous. She wasn’t popular after that.</p>
<p>Er, one girl found out what the free response questions to a biology exam were, for period 1, and she must have had her notebook out or something because apparently she wrote down the completely correct answer for period 1…</p>
<p>Only the teacher had two version of the exam, one for period 1 and one for period 2.
Which was really rather stupid, because she must not have read the question AT ALL.</p>
<p>People use their cell phones to take pictures of exams/assignments whenever they can get away with it.</p>
<p>One time one guy finished a test early and “went to the bathroom”, which was where he posted the answers in a stall. Other guys went to the bathroom after him and were able to take a look at the answers.</p>
<p>This has already been mentioned, but rolling notes up in mechanical pencils was also a major issue, which is why we aren’t allowed to use them for most tests anymore (unless its a scantron).</p>
<p>One girl attached answers to the end of her tampon string and went commando that day with her uniform skirt.</p>
<p>I took cell phone pictures of my statistics exam once. Not to cheat, but because there was a hilarious question I wanted to remember. It was the only class at that campus with that teacher anyway. I still have that picture, I believe.</p>
<p>^^ That’s.just.nasty.</p>
<p>For chem this year, we were allowed to use our own periodic tables. And our planners all had the periodic table in them so a bunch of us would just use those. And everyone in the class was also in algebra 2 so we had graphing calculators where we could just write the answers in.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This is not about cheating either but you reminded me of the time sophomore year when my entire geometry class decided to do the wave at exactly 12:00 PM during a test. We went row by row, up and down, everybody going WOOOO. When we stopped the teacher said “Nah-ah. Not in my classroom. David. Out.” And David was the only one who didn’t do it lol.</p>
<p>And once we had a substitute. A really old cat-lady woman. We all agreed to sneeze at exactly 12 o’ clock. When we did it, she completely freak out and acted like we were possessed for the rest of the period lol. We tried this again last year on our U.S. History teacher and he said “Common, now you guys are just being a**holes.”</p>

<p>We were taking a vocab test during English and the teacher was grading papers. The seats are arranged so half the room faces the other half. Kids just started signaling the question number and were giving answers YMCA style.</p>
