They knew about this one in my school. You weren't allowed water bottles with a sticker in the exam hall.

My math teacher told us about this. I had never heard of it before. Next test, I brought in a water bottle and sat front row. The whole time I would conspicuously look at and adjust the bottle. She kept giving me "Are you kidding me?" looks. At the end of the test I peeled back the label to show that I had written "Gotcha!" She laughed, I got an A.

One of my highschool teachers said the sneakiest someone has ever been was laminated the periodic table they were allowed to use on the test. Then drew (with a sharp point) into the plastic so that at a certain angle the light would hit it so you could see what was written.

I feel dirty. I'm a teacher and skimming the comments looking for tips on how to bust the kids. Though my school is extremely diligent about it. The kids aren't allowed ANYTHING on their desks other than the test book and a pencil. Teachers are not allowed to do anything (check email, grade papers, etc) other than watch the students. We just had mid term and I had to spend 4 hours a day for 4 days staring at 12 year olds, subconsciously daring them to cheat just for some god damn entertainment.

I had a similar one. All throughout middle and high school, I had a fondness for thin mechanical pencils and kneading erasers- the kind that looked and felt like putty. If you erased pencil writing, you'd have to knead it to get rid of the markings.

Well, lo and behold, one day, I realize you can write on a paper, put the eraser on the writing, and carefully peel it up to reveal the writing on the eraser, backwards.

Got plenty of math formulas and vocab words thinly written on my kneading eraser. Never got caught, but as soon as I finished, I would knead it and destroy the evidence.

In the UK your bottle has to be blank and see through now.

I did this one once. The trick was not to drink the water so it magnified the formulas due to refraction.

I legitimately wrote the answers to Freshman Bio quizzes on my hand. The teacher didn't notice.

I was a bigger fan of "write in pencil on desk then wipe off with hand sweat"

You are allowed water? I spent all 12 years dehydrated and constipated.

I had a friend whose parent actually worked for a bottling company, and had access to editing the label, which he used for making birthday party invites, AND for test time

I wrote the mathematic formulas I needed on my thighs so if I needed to, mid exam I could go to the bathroom and have a look.

Didn't use it, but it was extremely reassuring none the less, particularly as it was an important exam which, depending on the grades of all the exams, determined which college courses I would be eligible for.

Up my sleeve

My university is wise to this one and, as a result, you aren't allowed to have a label on your bottle.

A couple of times I wrote down stuff on my arm that I knew I was bad at remembering and would go to the bathroom and roll up my sleeve if I needed a piece of information.

Now it's answers-are-the-water-bottle-sticker trick.

Scan the waterbottle sticker, edit out words with blank space (Of the same color), and, using the same font/size, you're able to type in the answers to look like the ingredients, health information, whatever.

Yes! We'd type the answers up during first period in a really small font and attach it to the water bottle like it was a label! Ha!

You can see how this works Here

I wrote all the french verb endings on my pencil with a pen.

My ol'Spanish professor specifically banned any bottles, cans, etc with labels on them due to cheating like that before. The student whom made him enforce this rule had a few chapters worth of key terms on the labeling itself. Thus my Spanish II final was tremendous headache.

So you're the reason why we can only have clear, sticker-less water bottles during our exams!

a pencil sharpener with a container works just fine

You genius bastard.

I would paste a label on the inside of my underwear band. Teacher saw me once. Could prove anything, I denied and she wasn't going to risk touching my underwear.

Here in the UK there are super strict regulations going into exams because of this shit. First that spring to mind...

• Transparent water bottle

• No label allowed on the water bottle

• No pieces of paper whatsoever apart from those provided by the invigilators

• No items whatsoever apart from a pen/whatever other essential equipment is needed in the test

• For maths tests, no calculator covers or lids or whatever they're called

For most subjects, 100% of the grade for the entire year (or past two years for those who started their A levels in the summer of 2015) is based on two exams (~2 hours each, normally) so it's important to standardise it as much as possible.

I wrote in pencil on my calculators. It was black/grey so it barely stood out. I then wiped it off after writing down the formulas or whatever I wanted and the evidence was gone

A risky move - but it paid off.

I once snuck in and stole an essay back after the teacher had made a note of who had all handed it in. Assumed they lost it, and gave me an average of my other marks. We had to do a few courseworks over the year and this one was a shitty "personal development" thing where you had to write about something interesting that happened to you.

In seventh grade, I had to write and type a story (Called the "island story", because it had to take place on an island), but I never finished the story let alone typing it, forgot about it until the day it was due, and never handed it in. This was in november. Skip ahead to APRIL, my english teacher comes to me and goes "Was your island story about WWII?". I reply with "No... Why?". She answers with "Oh, because I can't seem to find yours and this one has no name." I ended up getting a hundred xD

I was quite lucky with one of my exams.

Hadn't been feeling well the night before the exam, so went to bed early. All of a sudden the urge to vomit occurred, I managed to get a plastic bag that was near my bed in time to get most of the vomit in the bag, but still got a load on the bed. Had to call my house phone to get my mum to help me clean up the worst of it.

Couldn't go to college (UK) the next day, so I had to apply for special circumstances to the exam board, which meant I didn't have to take the exam. They would take the average of my classmates exam results... of which there were two. Both got relatively high grades and I'm sure I would've done a lot worse than the grade I was given.

TL;DR chundered the night before an exam, exam board gave average of classmates, got a better result than if I had taken it.

Australia?

Speaking of answer booklets, last semester in college I would very lightly write key phrases for what I would write in my booklet before going in so I could refer back to them when I was writing the essay. Also, right before class if I didn't really remember something I would look it up right before the test, get my test paper and write the answers on the page. TECHNICALLY NOT REALLY CHEATING, I mean it was from my head!

I've done something similar, if I didn't really respect the professor I wouldn't do much work in the class. I straight up didn't write a paper, didn't do the powerpoint presentation, didn't even show up when they were due.

When the teacher was calling us up to talk about our project+paper+presentation, he said the powerpoint was fine, and after shuffling through his stack of papers looking for mine, he said that I got an A on the paper.

Passed that class with a C and a healthy dose of 'fuck the system'

I pulled this once with an essay in High School. He saw a draft and everything so he assumed I had turned the paper in and gave me a 90% on it.

Ha, did this with a lab report once. Three weeks after it was due I casually emailed the TA who graded our reports where my grade for that particular lab report was. He updated the grades list with a grade for that week, for a report I didn't do.

Similar thing happened to me once, but it was actually by accident. At the end of the term I went to hand in my take home exam (an essay) and pick up a quiz (we had them pretty much every 2 weeks). My quiz wasn't there, so the prof said she'd just give me 80% because that's was what I got on the other tests or I could do a make up test. But it was end of the semester and neither of us wanted to do this, so I agreed to take the 80%. I went home and I was looking at my calender to look up a due date for another class and I realized I had skipped the day of the quiz (they don't take attendance so the prof disn't realize).

See, my school would just us retake the test

[deleted]

these types of scams rely on your reputation with the teacher...once i legitimately forgot to answer a question on an essay final exam & turned it in. got an email from the professor like 2 days later telling me to come into her office (i thought i was in trouble). she asked me why i didn't complete the exam and i really didn't know what she was talking about so she gave me 10 minutes to answer the same question right in her office and she graded me without penalty.

i was one of the more participative students in the class and she said that my presentation (for a different assignment) was the best one she has seen in her 20 year career for that course...

this wouldn't have worked if i was just another student i think...

I had nearly the same thing happen to me. We had to write 5 essay's over 5 weeks, different topic each week. I only handed in 3/5 of the essay's. When I got called in for questioning my teacher took my highest marked essay and used that grade on the last two that I never handed in. He assumed it had just been misplaced. Also, I will say that my teacher for that class was a total bro and a great teacher.

I kind of did the same thing, except I skipped the middle questions of an exam numbered the pages so there were 2 missing (eg: 1,2,3,4,7,8) and started the 7th page with therefore.

The story I came here to post about was also my final exam for my Chinese language class..! This was at the end of my second year. I had gotten burned out maybe halfway through the year, so I had resigned myself to doing poorly. There were about eight of us in the class and we all sat and took the exam (it was all translating sentences from English to Chinese) in our usual classroom. After handing out the exams, the professor excused herself for the remainder of the class and told us to put our finished exams in a big envelope she had taped to the door of her office, just around the corner from the classroom. I had been resigned to bombing the exam, but when I realized that I had an opportunity to cheat -- well, I took it. I filled out as much as I could, then left, pretending that I had just finished very fast and very early. I pretended to put my exam in the folder, then hightailed it out of there, ran like hell to my dorm, pulled out my textbook and found the correction translations, and copied them all into my exam booklet. I ran like hell back to the building... I was a little worried about the second person finishing and noticing that the envelope was still empty. I had to walk past the classroom (with its open door), so that was nerve-wracking that everyone saw me... but I slipped my exam in the envelope, and nothing bad ever happened. I got a good grade on the final, so I did OK in the course for the semester. But then I never took another class in Mandarin again.

can you further explain this second one with the chinese? I don't see how you would do that any other way, or you'd get the wrong answerrs...

I did a similar stunt once. Had a math quiz at one point in grade school, but it turned out when I saw it that I had no idea how to do anything on it, and would have basically gotten a zero on it. I was usually pretty good at my math classes, but since I rarely actually did homework, the only thing carrying my grade was the results of quizzes/tests, so I couldn't take that hit. When all the quizzes were being passed forward, I held onto mine and past the others forward.

When I got home, I went over the material, realised what I was missing, and then had to stay after later the week to redo the quiz and aced it. Totally worth it.

I did something similar with my schedule.

In my senior year of high school I had to re-take the second semester of a 10th grade history class (yeah, I don't know how I failed it the first time). Well, as you can imagine, it's kind of awkward being the "new kid" in a class, much less being a senior when the rest are sophomores.

The first day of the second semester rolls around. Somehow I am late to the class and walk to the open classroom door to see that the lesson has started and the teacher is fairly intimidating looking. So I just... Walked away. Kept up this ruse of not going for a few weeks, throwing caution to the wind about the fact that I needed this .5 credit to graduate.

Eventually, I am notified that they want to see me in the office. They're wondering why I haven't been going to the class. I had a paper schedule which clearly had the class listed on it, but I lucked out -- it was the last class on the list. So what did I do? I used white-out on it and re-photocopied the schedule. Pretty sure I even used the copier in the library. Just made it disappear.

I took the now-shorter schedule to the office and claimed that I never knew I had to take the class. They were confused by it, but printed an "updated" schedule and told me to go to class. I sucked it up and went to class, even though it was embarrassing. The intimidating teacher bought the story too and graded my first six weeks on a curve. He never gave me a hard time about it other than referring to me as "senior".

He was also a coach, so his class turned out to be pretty easy.

being smarter than the system is not cheating. A+

That's a bold strategy cotton

That's a bold strategy Cotton.

You're also a Chinese guy in Chinese class so that's cheating too

Are you Australian by any chance?

I had a teacher tell the class that if we didn't do the work in other classes, we should just go in and yell at the professor. In his experience, most professors are either too disorganized to know if you actually did it, or have TAs that can pose stuff.

directly helped with uni? where do you live where you actually have to be intelligent to to go college?

that's bullshit, in my school they would just have given a 0

I had a TI 89 Titanium. The AP exams actually let you bring any programs you want to the test so I had some notes. I also put Pokémon on there so I'd do that after the test.

Depends how you use it. I know a lot of people used it to just put text in it.

I actually learned how to program it which I even used for a crypto course and was able to program quite complex stuff which allowed me to just let it do all the calculations.

Math major here. I attribute a proportion of my degree to my TI-84 Plus.

I wrote programs that we swapped in college with the connection cable. We would archive them and the programs would do out all the workings. Also, they contained notes in the code related to the tests.

I got many a beer for my hard work. Eventually, some butt-hurt classmate missed out on the notes because he showed up late. Asshole McDouche ratted us out. Now the college checks the archived data and programs before a test. That was 11 years ago and they still check the calculators. Dunno why though as you can do way more on a phone.

For those of you that are still in high school, you can find a lot of the programs online and just download them onto your calculator. Pretty easy and it saves you a lot of time compared to putting them in manually

I remember writing programs to help me do stuff much faster on tests.

Of course, this was high school so having a simple program actually helped. I remember at one point we had a test where we had to calculate one particular row of Pascal's Triangle. I had already written a program that you just had to input the row number and it would spit out all the numbers in that row.

Made me feel good to do that problem on the test in 4 seconds flat.

I had a TI-81. I did the same thing with it. Took forever to type in all of the words, but it was probably the only reason I passed high school. Funny that my english teacher never wondered why I had my calculator out during a test though.

89 ftw

TI-85 here. Programmed all sorts of things in there. I had a program with multiple menus to find all the equations I'd ever need for Trig and Calc. I had another that would actually do a large portion of the calculations, along with showing the work so I could copy it down.

I also played Drug Wars all through class, and modified it so I could save my games between classes. I loved that calculator...

Make a simple program that looks like the reset screen, go up to an invigilator showing you "resetting" and then you're fine.

I've a CAS calculator I can use at school. It's really easy to cheat with.

My first foray into programming was to create programs for calculus formulas on my TI-83 Plus and store them under benign names.

I straight up got calculators banned in my high school trig class when I learned to program. Kids were too bold about running the programs when she'd walk by their desks.

In our school they always reset all the calculators for the exams (at least the big ones), or didn't allow the ones you were programedable.

The guy I sat beside in college had the same calculator as me. When I noticed he was having trouble on a question I would type the formula he needed in my calculator and set mine down and pick up his.

He was a smart guy he just missed a lot of class because he was involved with Cadets.

That's exactly how I passed chemistry, had my friend program all the formulas into my TI83. All I had to do was plug in the numbers from the problem

I have a TI Nspire CX. I can just type up notes on my computer and send them to the calculator, no messing with that shitty keyboard involved.

I had a Ti-89. It could solve everything and I always taught myself how to use it when we were learning new problems.

I guess I didn't really use it to cheat since in Math you still have to show your work, but knowing you got the right answer is half the battle.

This saved my ass and many other asses for our dual-credit college algebra class. Calculators were allowed and never got wiped, so we had one super smart kid that was chill come up with all the program stuff and then passed that shit around to us like hotcakes. Cause i still sucked at math, got a B+ but not bad considering I barely lifted a finger in that class

I tried writing text in the calculator a few times but it was pretty tedious. I defaulted to handwriting an index card with formulas and graphs and visual cues. I came into the exam with the calculator already open and the cover stored on the back, with the index card stored neatly in between. Every time I needed a reference I would just slide the calculator down a little and get the formula I needed. I had a TI-83 plus silver, which I unintentionally traded covers with a girl to have a black, non-transparent cover.

Gets awkward when you are writing your Philosophy mid-term.

Saved my ass in chem. That, and the fact the answer keys for everything were available on a university's website that shipped it out to HS.

Nothing pissed me off more than finding out I had to use it for ap calc. As soon as I got to university they laughed when asked if we could use a calculator for calculus. Not use able for all of my mechanical engineering degree.

Can someone explain to me how to use one properly? I've never had a hard class so I never really learned how to use it beyond the basic functions, but it always seemed useful to know.

Had a friend who programmed snake into his graphing calculator.

Also the TI-36X Pro. This shit is glorious and you can use it for majority of the tests because it's "scientific"

I got a TI-Nspire as a birthday gift one year. I never had to do math again after that.

My way of using the TI calculators to "cheat" my high school calc courses was a bit different: I gave everyone I could a copy of a Super Mario game and the old Wolfenstein game that were emulated on the TI-83 plus. And I would helpfully get them back on after every test when we would have to reset the calculators. My end goal was to get everyone not paying attention in class and the teacher would curve the grade and with me working hard I would get a guaranteed A. It mostly worked and I felt pretty bad about it actually :(. I justified it to myself at the time that they could pay attention if they wanted instead of playing games on their calculator but I still feel bad about it.

Silver Edition represent

Used my 84 + silver edition to write all proofs for my statistics class in highschool. Literally multi paragraph long proofs, about 12 in total.

TI Nspire can do it better.

BLOCK DUDE FUCK YEAH

I did this but then returned it the day after my exam

I have an Nspire, which makes the TI-84 look like an abacus. I never really learned how to factor, and I couldn't remember trig derivatives for the life of me, but thanks to my precious calculator I didn't need to.

This is going back much further, I suspect...1995 to be exact. I had a TI-85, which had the "Solver". This was the year before they were banned by the school board.
Anyway, the teacher's were wise to the fact that you could write your own programs, so the rule was that you had to wipe out the memory (they would watch you do it) before the diploma exams.
I wrote a program that mimicked the erase sequence.

Had a TI-NSPIRE CX CAS, put an NES emulator on it, No one questions a kid on a calculator in math class.

At our High School the math teachers would require us to clear the programs from our calculators and they'd go around and check that everyone's screen was displaying the "Clear complete" or whatever the message was that it said after running the clear.

So of course someone wrote and distributed a program to display that message.

Yup, I programmed a "car game" on my TI that would give me formulas when I crashed the car into a specific object. Our teachers never wiped our calculators. They would just look at the programs we had before an exam, but never dug into any code.

All our teachers had test calculators. We weren't allowed to use our own. They were yellow and numbered and handed out randomly to each student before the exam. There was no way of getting around that shit lol

Just write on the inside of the cover in pencil. You can easily slide the calculator down a bit to see your notes and slide it back up if the teacher starts walking your way. Or just leave it open. its surprisingly hard to notice writing on the inside of those covers.

Memory wipe proof.

Please elaborate. I have the same calculator and I need help

For me it was the TI-83 original. We even learned to program it so you had menus to to through to get to math etc and a simple notes section

As a kid in school currently, help a brother out?

Anyone write the formulas in pencil on the case ? That was my go to.

I love how all of my teachers have handled these things so far.

In all of my classes, I've been allowed to use the programs - as long as I was the one who wrote it. The first time my teacher saw me using a program I wrote, she was just like "Cool, we're opening up CS classes next year. You should take them." I think the next time was this year, and my teacher said that we have to understand how to do the work in order to automate it, so we can use whatever we write.

I don't know if you could handle the beauty that is the TI-89

Submitted a comment like this, deleted it when I saw it was already here. This was how everyone I knew cheated on exams.

Damn.

I had a similar experience with a online public school system called K12. Pretty much if you know the parents password, which is required to even take an assignment, you can access the assignment answer key and get 100% on every subject within an hour everyday. The only problem was because I did so great I was placed in the LINK program in 8th grade. so I had 9th grade math and english PLUS it was algebra 1, I had not taken pre-algebra, so I was pretty much dropped in the ocean with no boat completely confused. The high school math and english you have to actually turn stuff in so I could not just BS my way through.

A teacher referral was the only way to get in advanced classes and I happened to have a dumbshit teacher who liked me so she stuck me in the honor class the next year in my worst subject. I didn't want or appreciate it but she moved schools afterwards so I couldn't say anything.

I, unsurprisingly failed and had to take computer labs to pass the next semester during my free period. My ex had labs the year before and taught me how to open some files of the program to learn the answers. I'd spend 10 minutes carefully recording answers, and the next 20 whizzing through the test. It was an hour long class, so I could knock out a few lessons designed to eat through time pretty quickly. Thanks to not burning a bridge with him, I was able to get my free period back in two months.

We got back together after I graduated, had two kids, then he lost his shit and abandoned us. At least I didn't fail high school, though so, that's nice.

I did the same thing. They were really surprised when I finished the course so early. I didn't learn anything but i got an A and that's all that matters

[deleted]

In my summer school, you could take a test as many times as you wanted but if you failed the teacher would have to put in his password on your computer to let you take it again. I watched him type it, done with summer school a few days later.

There's a might school program at my school where you can just look up shit while you're taking the freaking test..

This is more the school cheating you.

This was how my math class was. We would take notes, do the test, fail it, and write down the answers. I sat between two friends and we would all take the tests together and give each other the answers.

It backfired though. I did most of the work so I passed the exam easily. One friend passed and the other failed the first time, then passed by a couple of points the second time.

That is just solid problem solving and critical thinking skills. You deserved it.

I used to do that, but now the software won't let me skip ahead. You get one shot at the pre-test, then you have to do the lesson.

So you cheated the system and learned rudimentary statistics at the same time! Well done, you crafty slacker!

MySkillsTutor?

Dude I had a very similar experience lol. Was there like a practice quiz you could take before the actual test?

Did this for a few online uni classes. These people really don't give a shit that I finished weeks of work within a day or two.

I took US Government online my senior year. I could have fit the class in my schedule, but I was already at a full load with a ton a extracurricular, and I just really needed a 'free' period (not really a free period, I assisted an intro drama class where the teacher would let me sleep in costume storage) so I took it online. I discovered a similar workaround like yours where you could skip to the tests, so I finished the whole course in a week! It was glorious.

How did it still take you anywhere close to 8 hours, given that you figured that out?

lol dude thats not cheating the system. its designed like that to give you an A. you are taking an online summer course. those are usually really easy and a free A if you just google the questions. Summer schools credit are usually way more expensive

So you want to the rest of the classes with nothing to do? Duck that sounds worse.

Shit, when I was in college, the older blackboard site setup the quiz questions in a way that if you looked at the html it told you the answer.

is this osha

This is exactly how I passed geometry, except I did it after school for an hour and not summer school. hah. Id just screenshot all the correct answers it showed, save them, alt tab out of the program, and get the answers.

I did the same thing for my "recovery" classes in high school where they let you make it up on a computer. Got done with it in a week, ended up having a free period for a whole semester before they moved me.

Florida Virtual School?

My work has a similar online program for job training classes.

It's nothing special, but it looks good if you do them. So one night I found out this system, almost exactly as you described. Did every single program that night.

We must have used a similar system because I finished my summer school in like a day the same way! High fives for being efficiently lazy!

Similar to this, I completed two full math classes on the computer the day of my highschool graduation and in doing so secured my place to walk

I had the same experience, but it was a self paced English course. I completed a semester of senior year English in about 8 hours. I just wish I knew about it earlier as I would have taken more summer school classes so I could get highschool done in 3 years.

About a dozen years ago I got a speeding ticket here in CA. They allowed me to do online traffic school. You'd read a wall of text (about six or eight "scrolls" down of the browser window) and then you'd go to the next page to take the test.

Yeah...file>Save As. Take test, switch to other screen, Ctrl+F answer, boy THAT was easy.

I had an online class in college where you could just hit the back button on your browser after seeing your score, and change the answers.

I had to take a long ass test like this for a company I worked for. Tons of people failed it and had to take it over and over. It was pretty shitty. I discovered the brilliant test designers had the answers marked in the source code and got a 100%.

Yes, but do you know what the powerhouse of the cell is called?

You could've just googled the answers in another window/tab.

Thats actually pretty badass

My senior year of high school a teammate and I ended up in a computer-based class like this. We did the same thing, only sometimes we had enough background knowledge or common sense to pass on the first try.

By the middle of the second week, we were done with the class. The teacher was retiring after that year, so he wasn't going to do anything about it.

It was our first class of the day, so we spent the next 3 months having coffee at a nearby diner, rolling in late, and watching movies or playing video games every morning. Some days the teacher would send us in his truck to the hardware store or on other random errands for him.

Ended up with an A-

They don't let you get away with that kind of thing anymore, from what the young folks tell me.

I failed a semester and had to do accelerated credit recovery. I did it in 3 days. You had 2 booklets and a test and they would only give you one booklet each time you went. NO cheating involved I just didn't try in the actual class.

I asked if I could do ALL of my classes like that. They said no.

8/10 actually.

I did something similar to thisfinished 4 summer school classes in 2-3 days. Took the 5 tests in each subject but before the each test I compiled all the reading in a word document select all copy paste sorta thing . Because we werent allowed to open google or that sorta thing on the tests. Then I just controlled "f" the documents for the answers everything got an A in everything. Raised my cumulative GPA by .5 so I could get accepted to colleges. Before I didn't stand a chance of going to college.

I often do this on my uni assignments if their online and its possible. Oh your telling me the answers and then changing 1 number in the question for next time? Screenshot, done.

Did summer school so happen to be FLVS? Because I took FLVS freshman year and it was exactly as you described

This is why its good to hire at least one lazy person! They always figure out the easiest way to do a task.

Thats how I passed my econ class in a week. All those stupid quizzes, they didn't even mix up or change the questions. I recorded all the answers and even shared them with the rest of the class.

I do this now, but I just google the questions the first attempt.

APEX?

Dude. I'm doing the exact same thing right now for the exact same reason. Online classes are the shit.

I did something similar. I had summer school but just a few weeks before it started I broke my collar bone and was in a sling for a while. So in the class I would just put my phone in my sling and look up the answers for the pre tests. I went slow so I didn't get caught but still finished way before everyone else.

Apex?

Apex learning system?

So you lazed through normal school AND summer school? Update us on how college went

this is how every corporate worker passes their compliance exams, except we get unlimited tries.

That just seems like a terrible system

You are amazing.

is this byu?

8/10 would do again.

FTFY

Was this NovaNet by chance?

You didn't cheat the system, you beat it.

I did something similar after i failed Pre Calculus and had to do it over the summer online. Went through the whole thing and took all the tests and finished the course in a couple of days.

Had a health class that you could take the pretest and if you passed you could skip the section. I made it through about 3/4 of it before I was no longer passing pretests. Luckily i found all the questions online. Easy peasy mates

I had summer school for like 3 days one year. (they said I had to go then got my FCAT scores in and I ended up passing the class with a C) They told us that they didn't want to be there from the very start cause the class would only last a few weeks at max and they didn't want to be spending there summer sitting in this classroom with a bunch of "lazy kids" so they said you can have paper out to do figure out work, and so I was going geometry on this sheet and I would write down my answers and then put them all in the computer (I know odd) so then I realized that there were only about 4 people walking around this computer lab that had something like 30 students in it and these instructors and over viewers were people who either worked in guidance or were teachers so they hung over certain groups of who were all friends and needed help 24/6 (every once and a while they got the answer by guessing) and I never needed help so by the 2nd day I had about 1 page front and back full of answers so the kid next to me had been watching and followed suit.

• Heres where the cheating comes in*

The questions on this online testing stuff were "random" but we ended up just getting each others tests by day 2 so we just traded papers and even if some were wrong it was better than doing a full days work......so we were getting C's or B's and when they would walk past we would put our binders on top of the papers like we were laying our chins down on these 3" binders to stare at the screen.

There system was 3 sitting around a table talking, and 1 walking around aka doing the stupid kids work (unless the principal walked in then they switch from talking about there husbands to "strategies to help the students")

This is the time I learned what a VPN is installed chrome and a free VPN and just instead of going on some unblocked games website I went on full normal Addictinggame!! (I imagined the site a lot better than it really was now that I re-visit it) and just switched back to the test question everytime she came over for like 5 hours.

So a lame cheat but worked enough to where I was set to finish this recovery class the next day.....so F me gg Florida School Systems

^{P.S. Still in school across the street so not gonna tell the name cause of well risking it.}

This is exactly what I did on the reading tests required to get my driving permit.

Dude, I did this exact thing in my senior but instead of summer school I was allowed three periods a day to make up for lost credits with a bunch of other supposed burnouts. I knocked that shit out so fast doing exactly what you did and just listened to music on my iPod and played Pokemon the entire latter three quarters. I wasn't even sly; the teacher (overseer, rather) just didn't care. And one of my other periods was band in which the teacher just let me play my guitar in a sound proof room for the hour every. single. day. My final (and only assignment for the year) was to write and perform a song which I just picked from my repertoire.

Not only did I cheat senior year, I retroactively cheated the rest.

Is the online course called apex? Sounds identical to what I have to do right now.

I think you mean 8/10

I remember I went to summer school to upgrade my English so I could get into a college program. First day there they handed me everything I needed to complete for the course, then said we could finish it however we wanted, just had to be done in like 3 weeks. Most kids took this opportunity to go home, but I stayed and finished probably half before they closed the classroom then went home and finished the rest and handed everything in the next morning. I boosted my mark from the mid fifties to something like 95%. Unfortunately this was my last year in high school, if I would have known about this sooner I would have just ducked off all year, every year during high school.

Nice, I did this in summer school too. It was lame. I had a choice of either online classes or summer school and I chose school cause it seemed better than sitting at a computer all day. Summer "school" for us was taking the online class at a fucking school. Super lame but I passed with a B.

My under funded school allows a ton of online classes to make up for lack of real classes and I have so many extra credits doing exactly this and using Google

This is how I passed my finance class. For some reason we had to do these SALT labs, which were essentially lessons and quizzes on money stuff. Every week we had to do the lesson, and take the quiz. They counted as major grades. Now being an impatient 10th grader I decided that the easiest way to do this was to rush through the test, review it (it gave the right answers to help review) and screenshot them. Always got 100%.

I had something similar in uni. We had an open book test that was done on the computer and the teacher let us google the questions. As it turned out, all the questions were taken word for word from a website so you could just CTRL - F and get all the questions right.

8/10*

passkey?

Corporate policy tests are like that when you work as a contractor sometimes.

The jokes on you... You learned valuable stuff!

This is basically e ery test you take for "training" in the military after boot.

And that's why the Asians build better cars than we do.

Im doing this now..... They haven't fixed it I guess.

Had something similar at my high school. I think it was called NovaNET. What a piece of shit.

E2020? I teach credit recovery classes and one of the girls always makes a 20% on her first try and around an 80% or 90% on her second try. I wondered how she was doing it, now I might have a solution.

8/10 would recommend

 Did something similar with online traffic school years ago. Read the first section and the author slipped in a note "Author's dog is named Styx". Guess what the question was to prove I read it? I ctrl+f'd "author", wrote down all his little facts and finished 8 hour traffic school in 17 minutes.

If that were the case you could have just said you didn't apply yourself during the year and knew the materials so you just flew threw it. If they asked for more you can tell them you did what was expected so you're not doing more.

Just curious, what are you up to now?

my entire class cheated on our french oral exam by sending the most fluent student in while on the line with him on his cell phone. the rest of the class heard all the expected questions and had time to practice them before hand.

I just predicted incompetence and capitalized on it

Pretty sure that's more useful in the real world than Spanish.

Reminds me; in primary school the teacher was picking students to go on a free exchange trip to Spain by asking us to write our name on a slip of paper and putting them in a hat. I tore my piece of paper into little strips along the edges of the rectangle, hoping that when the teacher was putting her hand in there she would pick up the piece of paper that felt weird.

Sure enough, I went on a free trip to Spain :)

I was in a similar situation.

In my AP English class we had to read the Canterbury Tales (24 stories in one!) and prepare to discuss any one of the stories in detail. She would make us rearrange the desks in one big circle and go around asking each of us to discuss the story she asks about. We had a few similar big circle discussions like this before. What I noticed from that time is that she starts with a person on either side of her, questions her on the first topic, then asks the second person about the second topic, and so on.

I figured that if I sit directly across from her in the big circle of about 24 students, I would be asked about a story between 10-14 no matter what side she chose to start on. So I only studied those 5 stories. I felt pretty smug about it.

Ha, I just did a similar thing on my history exam! There were two exams (Paper 1 and Paper 2, it's an IB thing) written on two different days, and the first one I recognized as a past paper that I had used to study. The teacher was just recycling old exams.

So for the second exam the next day, I studied the Paper 2 from the same year the Paper 1 was from, and only what was on that exam. Nothing else. If he had made his own (Paper 2 is just a list of 30 essay questions and you pick two to write), or even used a different year, I would have been screwed, because I picked only two questions to study. But he used the exact one I predicted! It was amazing, I had my answers all planned, and finished with like 15 minutes left, with everyone else scrambling for time.

That was a huge gamble, glad it paid off for you!

In Law School you get randomly called on 2-4 times a semester and a bad response affects your grade. This keeps everyone on their toes.

After the first day, one girl goes up and sees her name in the name stack. So she just took it. Never was called on.

Holy shit, that's a huge risk.

I took Spanish in college and noticed that the final was worth 20% and tests were worth 10%. Meaning you could get a 70% just from homework. Also, the lowest grade possible on the spoken tests/speeches was 80% so people wouldn't get nervous and freeze.

So I copied all the homework from a friend in the class, memorized one sentence per test (and pretended to be too nervous to remember the rest), and guessed randomly on every test. We were required to participate in class by responding in Spanish to questions asked in Spanish. I typed everything into Google translate all quarter. Teacher must have thought I had a really slow recall time.

I got a 50% on the final and and 80% in the class.

And that is how I passed two quarters of Spanish with flying colors and still don't know how to ask where the library is. (Como estas le biblioteca?? Or something??)

I did something similar, we had to choose our writing prompt out of a hat. There were like five options for the whole class. So I picked my favorite, typed it up myself at home, and printed it out on a strip of paper. When we were choosing our prompt out of the hat, I had mine in my sleeve. I reached in and took one out so there wouldn't be a leftover prompt when everyone had chosen, and swapped it with my sleeve prompt when teacher had moved on. For extra safety I ate the real prompt.

This is the exact same scenario that happened to me in grade 10 spanish, are you me?

Not cheating, working the averages/angles.

Did you have my Spanish teacher and is he a she?

You're my new hero.

You have upper management written all over you

Man I can relate to having no interest at all in Spanish in high school. I remember our teacher would come by and check everyone did the assignment every day..but she wouldn't actually read it, just walk over to see words on the page. So I would just add '-o' to the end of every english word. So my translation of "Say hello in Spanish" was "Sayo helloo ino spanisho".

Along with doing the regular small time cheating during quizzes/tests (writing brief notes on the desk, looking at friends tests), I did great during class; but I didn't risk cheating on the midterm and had a C. At the end of the year, the teacher said if you had above a 90 average so far in the class, you were exempt from the final exam. I had a 91, but she saw my midterm and was like "hm you know I'm going to have you take the final because you scored low on the midterm." Meanwhile my friend who had an 88 got exempt because his family was going to be leaving for vacation early.

I failed the final and that brought my grade down to a C.

Damn, that's a ballsy move, man.

Cojones of steel.

In my Spanish 2 class back in highschool we had a written portion and an oral portion. The class before that was my AP World Hist class and we were celebrating the end of AP exams so there were lot's of food that I took from the class. When Spanish 2 started I knew I wasn't ready for the oral exam so I gave my teacher all the food from the previous class. When it came to my turn he told me to say a sentence in Spanish and then a conversation. All I could remember was "Yo tengo un feista los pantelones" He started laughing like crazy and said I was lucky that I brought him food. Got an A for the exam.

Hah, this must be a thing a lot of spanish teachers do. Had a similar final. No way you're from NJ are you?

I did something similar for a college exam. We were given like 15 essay prompts, and were told that 5 would show up on the final, and we'd pick 2 of the 5 and write a brief essay for them. We were allowed notes. I picked the three topics that I figured would be most likely to show up, and pre-wrote great essays. Test day came and all I had to do was manually ctrl-c and ctrl-v.

why would 1 and 15 be more likely.

In a philosophy class in undergrad, we knew my prof loved Lord of the Rings. The study guide she gave us had a list of 20-some potential short-answer questions that would be on the final (we would be given 5 and have to answer 3 on the exam).

Me and my friends sat down and came up with LOTR references/analogies for each and every question. Got just a high enough grade on the final to pull an A in the class.

I believe a young Winston Churchill did something along similar lines He failed his Sandhurst entrance exams twice, and you were only allowed three chances. On his third, he didn't have time to study all the countries, took a gamble and pulled New Zealand out of a hat. It paid off, and he squeaked into Sandhurst

This some next level shit my guy

...Did we have the same Spanish teacher? You go to high school in North Alabama?

In the real world this is known as job security.

Wouldn't they eventually see that your work is shit because the computer keeps breaking lol

I did the same thing. I went to a small private school in the 90's and very few people really knew much about computers, but I did. I had a script that would knock a selected computer off the network on command. It was controlled by a geocities page that I had. Every morning it would check the page for instructions. I could schedule an outage for any time I wanted. Then I would just sit there and defrag hard drives or play doom. Sometimes I would tell the teachers that my best friend needed to help because there was a problem with the math coprocessor and he could help me fix that. There was no math coprocessor.

I said I did. I didn't but I wore glasses and liked video games and star wars enough that they believed me.

Lolll

Did you then install the latest version of Adobe Reader?

You sound like a programmer!

I betcha it had to do with 256 colour. It always had to do with 256 colour.

"Internet is down" "did you change the colour settings? "

This reminds me of when I was in Elementary and middle school and still had baby teeth. When a tooth was loose, I intentionally waited until I really wanted to get out of class. Then when the time came, quickly yanked on that sucker in a twisting motion (usually causing plenty of blood flow), and would get to leave class for 15-20 minutes as I went and cleaned up.

now that's kinda genius

Got pulled out of class in 5th grade once to fix a testing computer by my principal, who lived in my neighborhood. Fun times

You should've told them that to continue your maintenance you would require 5 dollars every fix or something. They probably would have thought a kid doing his own little freelance work on computers was adorable and would just have to humour you. Then you'd be all set to make real bank.

You sound like anon the it guy https://m.imgur.com/a/2RMWQ

I thought I was the only one who went to a poor private school!

The school who got free labour was the one who cheated in this story.

This is what people who make batteries and light bulbs do

Did you download Google Ultron?

Whenever I didn't know the answer to a question I always look at the second hand on the clock if it was between 0 and 15 then it was a .16 - 30 would be b... etc

Had a high school teacher who told us before a test "if you don't know the answer, choose C you'll probably be right"
