Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Step 1: Decide which type of cheating is going to be most beneficial for you — the Cheat-Sheet

    (Refer to the sections below for more information on such methods.) , Cheating only helps if you can get away with it.

    Here are some simple tips to avoid getting caught:
    Don't look suspicious.

    It's important to strike a balance between effectively getting your answers and not making it obvious.

    To do this, don't overly fidget.

    If you must look around, never hold your gaze in one place for longer than five to ten seconds.

    Switch it up by randomly staring in other directions — this way, your test supervisors won't get too suspicious and find out where your accomplice (or cheat sheet) is.

    Don't aim too high.

    It's not impossible to cheat your way into a perfect score if you really put in the effort, but if everyone else is getting an unremarkable grade on the exam, you will draw attention to yourself.

    This is fine if you normally get decent marks, but if you're known among teachers as one of the slower students, then there's a chance that they'll find out.

    Deliberately miss a few questions, though, and you'll be good to go.

    Try getting a B on a test and continually but slowly raising your average score until it's an A.

    You can even shoot for ups and downs in your scores, to make it appear more natural.

    Dispose of the evidence.

    As soon as the test is over ask to go to the bathroom (if you haven't already gone) to wash off or throw away any evidence of cheating.

    The longer you hold on to something, then the better your chance of getting caught because one person or another will notice.
