Almost all through graduation... but never during the finals.
1) Basic copying from others, but it is a fail. They had shitty handwriting. Mine wasn't any good either.
2) Basic chits hidden in sleeves, collars, backside of calculators etc.
3) Photocopy the entire fuking text book that fits in the fingertips. Pretty handy, but difficult without good eyes. I tried it only once but friends always did it.
4) The ole switcheroo. Smuggled answer booklet with written answers, switched with empty one. But I knew what was coming and this was a once in a life time opportunity.
5) Get Q papers before hand. Extremely difficult but achievable.
6) Write all possible answers on exam desk an hour before with a pencil.
7) Smuggle mobile phone in exam hall. Mobile has photos of text book. Happy face after exam.
Depended most on 1, 6 and 7. The rest were on rare occasions. 4 was the rarest.
I was caught twice. I got away the first time because I have a very innocent look about me. The second time, was caught with the mobile. The examiner actually egged me on, did not mind my copying.
Note all these were internal exams and almost never finals. On finals, we resorted to only 1.
Heck the squad has patted me down many times. My friend was stripped off his shirt, T-shirt below that and his shoes and socks.
If the security is lax, I would recommend number 7 as with the new android phones we can install folder blockers etc if we get caught. You can pass off the mobile as a mistake that you will never repeat again.
