Cheating 101 - Episode 8

Using Old Exams

If the prof gives old tests back, take one from a previous semester and write all over it. Ask what colors of paper they use on tests and make copies of it in those colors. When the prof s not looking, take out the test of the same color, slide it under the real test, and cheat away.

It works, and is very hard to catch, just make sure your teacher doesn’t collect them at the start of the exam, and redistribute them.

Leaving the test room and getting help (most often, under the pretense of a bathroom break).

Ringers

Convince someone else to take the test for you. If the proctors check IDs, either pay for a fake ID for them or pick someone who resembles you. On test days, they should try to look as much like you as possible. Take the test, but have the ringer sit next to you so you can copy off them. Take the test, but switch papers with the ringer and turn in the ringer’s test instead of your own (they can turn in their test using a fake name, or better yet, steal the test for a test file.
