This area is dedicated to submissions by people such as yourself! Most of these are variations of methods I have already described, but some are new ideas altogether that I have not yet tried or thought of. If you have something not yet found on my site and would like to share it, please feel free to let me know about it!

Megan sends in the following cheating ideas:

-If you're a girl, wear thigh-high tights and a skirt on the day of the test. Write all the answers on your thigh and cover it with your tights. During the test, roll down your tights and read your answers. Bonus: If the teacher tries to see what you're doing, this can count as sexual harassment. (I've done this countless times.)

-Get one of those really big Band-Aids. Stick it on your leg and write all the answers under it. During the test, peel it up and read the answers.

How to hide a CD player
-Make sure you have those little headphones that you stick inside your ear (less than $10 at Circuit City and they last FOREVER if you don't step on them), NOT the ones that go over your head. Wear a hooded sweatshirt with one of those kangaroo-looking pockets on the front. Cut a hole on the INSIDE of the pocket. Stick the CD player in there before class, run the earphone cord up the inside of the jacket, and put the earphones in your ears. Cover your ears with your hair. If your hair is too short for this, paint the cord and earphones a color close to your skin color (THE NIGHT BEFORE, DUMBASS!) and try to only use one earphone. You can move it from ear to ear depending on what side of you the teacher is on. If you notice the teacher looking at you funny, you can remove the earphone by casually reaching a hand up to scratch the side of your head or push your hair away from your face. This is way easy once you have practice.

-If possible, record over a CD that you don't like anymore, preferably by a well-known band. If worst comes to worst and you're caught (pretty hard to do: I've been really obvious on purpose so as to test my teachers and find limits-I STILL HAVE NEVER BEEN CAUGHT), the teacher will ask what you're listening to and you can show them the CD of, like, Eminem or Britney Spears (ew). They will NOT ask to hear it.

I wanted to let u know about another good method for girls: wear a short skirt, and tape/write ur notes upside down on the inside of the bottom of the skirt. During the exam u just need to flip up the skirt a bit and look down. If a teacher walks by it takes one hand movement to flip the bottom of ur skirt back over, and no one can demand to see what's underneath your skirt. This method is undetectable because you are looking in the same direction as you test paper, and if ur skirt is short enough, it can't be seen from the front of the room.

This method has worked very well for me over the years. First, get a basic and cheap calculator watch. you can get one at longs drugs for about $20. then, make one of those little tiny cheat sheets and slip it under the watch. when you have a chance, take it out and keep it under your paper or your hand. when you are done, put it back. the teacher will not suspect a thing because it is not a normal method.

I first want to say ur cheating website was great and I am big into cheating myself going onto grade 10 here real quick.. I found a new way of cheating while browsing eBay I found a camera the size of a penny and its wireless and it comes with the receiver.. I won it for 60 dollars and got it right away.. I looked on the internet and the same camera was over 300 dollars.. so you definitely get a good deal on eBay.. im going to bishop carrol high school which lets you take your test whenever you want.. or when your ready.. one of my friends is really smart and never study but still gets 100 so I give him the tiny camera and he tapes it just under his wrist in his sweater sleeve.. im out at the parking lot at my car with my laptop receiving the video and recording the whole thing.. I have cheated on 3 tests so far without a problem... the camera has a 1000 foot signal range with full battery and its color with a fairly high resolution.. enough to see the words.. he just aims his wrist at the paper and puts his hand up to sneeze to get a good video.. works like a charm.. next day I go in and get 100 percent.. this is probably the most high tech you've heard yet.. and everyone I tell is amazed that I get away with such a high tech setup but I don't tell them I only had to pay 60 bux for the camera.. that's CANADIAN currency too.. good luck.. please post... if you want a pic of the camera go to eBay. COM click search and type in smallest.. it will come up with smallest wireless camera in the world.. and it has a picture of it next to a penny! thnx a lot for the tips on ur webpage

It seems to me that you grasp the idea of cheating the way I do. When I cheat, I do it more because I can than because I have to. Often, I know that I would be able to receive an A on a test if I decided to study. However, you put it remarkably when you said that cheating was a timesaver. I do feel that cheating is done to save time, but in many cases, however, cheating is done to relieve stress.

There are several ideas that the cheaters in my school hold dearly. Contrary to your opinion that no one needs to know, those at our school feel differently. There is a select few at my school who perform specific tasks. We know how to contact one another and we know all who is to be told and who should not be told. Another reason for having such a network is that it benefits cheating in many ways. The idea of saving notes, tests, papers and such is greatly aided by having a union. The other important ideal is that similar grades or answers can be attributed to "studying together", which is, in effect, the truth.

The ideals of cheating are as follows.
#1. You go down alone. If one person gets caught, no one else's name should be mentioned. Escape routes, excuses and alternative stories should all be prepared ahead of time. No matter what deal they say they will cut, the administration is probably bluffing on the severity of punishment. Denial is also key in this aspect. One should deny until academic career is on he line, at which point, apologies said in a reluctant way should be uttered, all the while maintaining innocence. It is also vitally important that you get to your parents about your problem before the school does. In most cases, parents would rather punish their children themselves rather than allowing the reputation of their children, an consequentially theirs as well to be ruined. A greater reason to tell parents is that they will, in most cases, take your side because they do not want something to hurt you in the future.  Another reason that one shouldn't mention partners in crime is that conspiracy is more likely to lead to flaws in stories. Therefore, if one person is caught, it is in their best interest as well to keep it to his or herself.

#2 Don't Brag. Bragging is a terrible idea. The only occasion to brag is one that is completely within a group of cheaters. Although bragging is a bad idea and can lead to a damaged reputation. Bragging done after the fact is less likely to result in any real consequence. Aside from 'Codes of Ethics" and such efforts to detain extracurricular activities, bragging after the actual event of cheating is deniable and one is able to avert any problems most of the time. If suspicion does arise, however, it is imperative to cease cheating and start studying. If grades fall after suspicions arise then the possibility of cheating may be further investigated. Bragging about having an upcoming test or cheating on a paper with a grade pending is one of the more stupid ideas, showing that the necessity for cheating for such a person is lack of intelligence. This allows word to spread and jealousy to flow throughout a population. Generally, those who do not have the test will want it. This is bad, because those who find out about such things through the grape vine will act sloppy and risk getting everyone caught to save his or her own back. Others will become jealous due to the fact that they must spend much more time studying in an attempt to attain a good grade. These students are the most likely to tell. If you become aware of their
awareness, then it is imperative that everyone is informed of the cover story. Blackmail is also a good technique to ensure silence. Bribery, however, is incredibly stupid. Bribery gives the accuser every advantage. If they play their cards right, they can keep your money and still incriminate you. Blackmail should be used in the case that you know of an event that might cause embarrassment to the accuser (i.e. a time when they were known to have cheated or committed some other illegal act.) This is where bragging can play to a cheaters advantage. Without actually doing so oneself, it is clever to encourage others to come forth with cheating stories of their own. This can help by finding out dirt on those who might cause problems in the cheating process, by allowing knowledge on who might be of assistance and tells of who is able to keep their accomplishments to his or herself.
#3 Precautions are necessary. It is imperative that every precaution is taken when cheating. The less actual material evidence that can be found, the better. Cheating is best done when it is done through memorization of an advanced test copy. When
this is available, one should not prepare a cheat sheet, but use the test as a study guide assuring that they have all of the knowledge needed to achieve a good grade. This allows less suspicion when more than one person is involved because their answers show less similarities and provides no evidence to the takings place. Cheat sheets with answers on them are often bad ideas because, if discovered, they allow the teacher or proctor knowledge that an advanced copy of the test has been leaked and they will therefore become suspicious of anyone and everyone. This is one of the major reasons that Ideal #1 (You go down alone) is so vitally important. Cheat sheets with actual facts on them are less likely to arouse suspicion of conspiracy among teachers, although they are less reliable and time is more wisely spent studying. Preconceived cheating is risky business. This is the best form of cheating, however the method upon which is frowned the most.  Therefore, it is necessary to avoid anything that might shed light on the fact that you had the intent to cheat before entering the exam.
#4 Change your method of cheating. Cheating which is done repeatedly in the same fashion is likely to arouse suspicion. This is why it is imperative to continue to create many ways of cheating. This is also necessary due to the fact that it keeps the thrill of cheating alive. Changing the method of cheating allows cheaters to stay one step ahead of those standing in the way, but can often lead to bragging. To minimize bragging in this instance, create your own method of cheating during the actual test, keep similarities in test taking to a minimum whenever possible. In keeping similarities to a minimum one should remember that plagiarism is also a bad idea, because it creates an automatic source from which one can determine whether cheating has taken place or not. Cheating on long term assignments and papers should be done in the form of finding previous works and synthesized material from which one can attain the necessary knowledge in less time.
#5 Don't stop cheating until the course is over or you can get good grades without it. It is necessary to cheat throughout the entire duration of a course if one chooses to do so once. This is necessary in order that one keeps maintains similar grades throughout a class. This will cause the teacher to be less suspicious, however, will cause classmates to grow weary of your cheating. Therefore, if one cheats throughout the duration of a course, it is important to do so independently so that grades and answers show little similarity. It is important That one also creates the false image of studying by arranging fake study sessions in class or by going to the teach for  a help session at which one to one contact is limited so that they do not see the true level of intelligence regarding their specific subject.

hey i am in grade 12 now and i cheated my way since like junior high and so far never been caught. I think subjects like math and sciences are easiest to cheat cause all u do is type the stuff in calculator. But subjects like history or english or language courses are hard. I have 2 methods i use that are flawless. First for english we had to write an essay so i wrote the essay on my computer at home printed a small sheet of paper size 5 font and put it into a dictionary. Than during the essay i just open the dictionary and pretend to look up words but im just copying the essay. For history essay we got to write it on computers so what i did is wrote it (copied it from the net) night before came to school early in the morning and put it into my file than i changed the color of font to white so u cannot c anything. When we were writing the essay i was just highlighting parts of essay every 10 min and changing the font to black so it looked like i am writing it. For my french class since my teacher never walks around and i sit in the back what i do for exams is bring a cd player with 2 or 3 cd cases and write all the answers on the cover so even when she comes by it looks like it's just cd's with song lists.

thanks procheater

This is what you need:
-a small mp3 player with an LCD screen on it, or any screen
-a small song file (10 seconds or less)

Method:
You either create a small mp3 file or find one, but in this case your not worried about quality, just the size of the file. Get the file size as small as you can get it, then copy and paste that file how ever many times you can, until your mp3 player is full or you run out of notes. What you do is put the note you want in the file name for the mp3 and just skip through the songs' to find the note you need. I did it with my sony Yepp on a law test. It worked wonderful. It's great because mp3 players are so small and can fit just about anywhere, so long as you can read the screen. I put it in my pencil case.

Pros:
-no need for anyone else
-teachers wouldn't even think of looking for notes on an mp3 player
-easy to hide, and silent
-less chance of getting caught than using a cd player listening to a voice

Cons:
-not for amateurs
-can only fit so much text on the song name
-can only fit so many songs on your mp3 player (try with an iPod, probably too big)
-might need an mp3 player and that's expensive (who doesn't have one though??)
-need an mp3 player with a display
 

hi, my names mark and I go to a private school. I thought of an interesting cheating tactic, might work. Whenever you put your hands on your cheek (the basic symptom of boredness) you can see down your sleeve. So get one of those sticky label things they put on your books, and write down formulas and stuff you need and stick it to the inside of your shirt cuffs. it helps if you wear a blaser so there's less chance of a teacher seeing, but whenever you need a formula just put your hands on your cheek and look down your sleeve, there you'll see formula.

Hey, I was at your site and I found it very helpful...seeing as how I, myself don ot cheat a lot, well, actually not that much. Most of my tests are scantron and are easy to pass without studying so I have no need to cheat, but I do have an effective way of cheating. When the teacher says to clear your desks and put it all on the floor, all you need to do is have your sheet of notes, it can be regular college-ruled paper, you just need to put it underneath a light weight binder or journal with one corner of the sheet sticking out. When the teacher isn't looking just use your foot to pull out the corner, but if the teacher walks past you just use the other foot to push the binder/journal back over the paper. It's quick easy and is more effective if you are able to lean back in you seat a little more, as if you are relaxed, not with just two legs of the chair on the floor. It's not obvious, unless you choose to make it so. I t has worked for me before when I didn't feel like studying for spanish. Just remember it's not how good your plan is, it's how good you can pull it off, and like all other cheating methods you should practice to ace you scam...
Just though I'd add that for ya...

    I stumbled across your website while searching for advanced cheating methods, as the educators at my high school have been cracking down extremely. MP3 players are banned during examinations, will be confiscated and listened to to see what it is. Cell phones, PDA's, Graphing Calculators, all banned. Water bottles are permitted into the exam rooms only when if the label has been TORN OFF. Wearing hats, and having the hood on a hooded sweatshirt up, is also not allowed. With public exam's around the bend, my friends and I are being forced to develop more complex cheating methods.

     We're experimenting now with miniature black-light flashlights and that type of "Disappearing ink" that was popular in the 70's. Black lights aren't very visible in bright fluorescent lighting, and you can fit many formula's on your arm with the pen.

     Also I've bought an MP3 player which the memory stick can be removed/inserted quickly. I have two memory sticks, one which shall contain the notes, and the other which shall contain music. So if the event arises where I have the thing confiscated, I can quickly switch the memory sticks. While misdirecting the educator by fumbling with the wires strung throughout my hoody with the other hand.

     Its a harsh world in the classroom. They want the right answers, I'm going to give them.
 

1.Note passing revisited: Remember the good old days when you could pass notes in class easily during a test. I've reworked a strategy to do so. Simply get a large white out container. Empty it out and wash with water several times. The container MUST NOT be clear. Shove notes inside. Simply pass it to a friend and the teacher (and any jealous bitches) wont even think that ur passing notes.
2. An alteration of your calculator cheating method. Almost every calculator from texas instruments has graph-link ports. These ports look like little headphone jacks. THATS BECAUSE THATS WHAT THEY BASICALLY ARE. They transmit data in analog(...---...)over the wire to a computer or calculator. This means that if there was a way to convert sound into wireless rays you could send info back and forth from the calculators without wires. Later after i had this great revelation i was looking at an article about how to change an ipod into a universal remote. Mentioned was a SOUND TO INFRARED converter that plugs right into a headphone jack. I found this piece at radio shack and when i brought it home i thought of the applications of this little device. So i plugged 1 into my calculator and another into a friends and voila it sent the program perfectly fine. I then typed in some text hit transmit and i realized that it could work as a text messenger when phones are not allowed and there is no need to save files so there is no physical evidence and no chance for miscommunication. Only problem is it doesn't work for history lit or writing. DAAAA!
 

Alright several more things i forgot. About the person who showed how to hide a CD player. The player idea works great. but the cds. You cant always just record over newer CDS. Buy a 10 dollar CD label pack from staples and print them like that. Also another thing. Works way better with iPod or other MP3 player. Also on the iPod. YOU CAN SAVE FUKIN TEXT FILES AND LOOK AT THEM IN CLASS. Another thing INVISIBLE INK. Did you ever fill out one of those books where if u draw over something with a special marker it appears. Well you can buy that ink as a pen. Write on your arms with it. Then on when you want to look at something you can just go over it with the marker. It'll disappear in about a minute so you teacher cant check.

I BETTER SEE ALL OF THIS IN THE SUBMITTED BY USERS SECTION.
Some more cheating ideas I have to submit. Some are variations others are new.

1.Eyeglass case: This works if u are in a large class or wear glasses. Print a very small cheat sheet. Cut it up into pieces the size of the case side. Put the pieces in a tiny booklet and then ape it to the inside of the case. Teachers rarely check case and if their in the vicinity just cover the case with the glass cleaner.
2.Variation of Texting: Works well if u have a camera phone. Get a very high resolution phone. Take a quick picture of all the pages to at test. Email them to a friend at home. They go online look up the info or enter it into a calculator. Then they use AIM with forwarding to send the answers to you as a text file. Works great withy all sorts of tests.
3. Preppy School trick: Works well if u go to a preppy uniform school with ties or polo shirts. Shirt method: Make up the smallest possible font cheat sheets. (smaller then you can usually read because they'll be right next to you). Print them on whatever color paper your shirt is. Get a very small pin. Poke the sharp side through the paper and leave the big side outside. Works great because their close to you so you can see them if their really small. Other method: Tie Hiding: This one is really obvious i cant believe it wasn't included. Stuff the cheat sheets up your tie then take them out during the test (DA!!!!).
(Note it was all in the gbook so u hav 2 think of this in that context
