Copying during homework is never a good idea. In this way, you only deceive yourself and your future. However, if you have to, try to do it right. This article is about the technical and practical aspect of the question, without going into the ethical part.
Steps
Method 1 of 28: Bad Copy
Step 1. Bring a bad sheet with you for the test
Obviously this option is not valid if the teacher does not allow students to use a bad sheet. Arrange first with a partner to ask you to lend him the paper.
Step 2. Make sure you mark the numbers of the questions you can't answer on the paper
Step 3. Your partner will write down the answers and return the paper to you (when the teacher is distracted)
This method works best during Science and Mathematics exams
Method 2 of 28: Mirror
Step 1. Engrave the necessary notes on a folder with the reflective surface
You can use any sharp metal object (a compass will do). Make sure all your notes are small.
Step 2. During the assignment, place the folder in a spot where you can peek at unnoticed
Also make sure that the folder is angled correctly so that you can make out the writing.
To avoid suspicion, tell your teacher that you need the folder for another subject: as proof, insert sheets and notes inside it
Method 3 of 28: Simple Page
Step 1. Cut the top edges of a notebook sheet
Write as many notes on it as you can.
Step 2. On the day of the assignment, fold the slip of paper to hide it under your watch
Step 3. During the test, unfold the sheet and hide it under the test sheet
Since you trimmed the edges earlier, it should be perfectly invisible underneath your task.
- Make sure you don't leave the slip under the test when the teacher comes to pick it up.
- Note: Always get rid of evidence as soon as possible.
Method 4 of 28: Backpack
Step 1. Leave your notes in an open backpack
Step 2. Cover your backpack (and notes) with your leg
Step 3. When the teacher isn't looking, move your leg to find the notes you need
Method 5 of 28: Paper
Step 1. The day before, write all the answers to the assignment on another piece of paper
It will be the sheet that you will hand in for the test.
Step 2. The next day, sit in the rows behind, take out the "final assignment" and another sheet of paper
Step 3. When the time is almost up, quickly swap the two sheets so that the final copy is on top of the counter
When the teacher picks it up, simply hand it over.
Step 4. When the bell rings, take the other copy and ball it up, then throw it in the bin on your way out, or, if the teacher is used to checking the bin, throw it in the toilet and flush the toilet
- When swapping papers, don't do it while the teacher is around you. If you find it difficult to exchange, then keep the final sheet on the floor, and when it is time to deliver, simply pick it up, as if it had been dropped by accident, then proceed to hide the other copy.
- Beware that there are snitches and teacher's chariots everywhere, and they will have no qualms about exposing your trick. It is preferable to sit in an isolated spot.
Method 6 of 28: Elastic
Step 1. Take a thick rubber band, tighten it a lot and place it around some books to prevent it from shrinking again
Step 2. Write your notes on the stretched rubber band with a black ballpoint pen, making sure to write the letters as close to each other as possible
Step 3. Bring it back to its original size, and your notes will only look like black squares, not a way to cheat
Step 4. Wear the elastic like a bracelet during the test, and when you need the answers, stretch it again; release it when you are done
Method 7 of 28: Badges
Step 1. The day before the test, write small notes on a piece of paper, which you will need for the test
Step 2. If you don't have a protective sleeve on your badge, glue the sheet to the back (so it's not visible
).
Step 3. On assignment day, wear your badge around your neck so that it falls on your lap
Step 4. Make sure you don't keep flipping the badge over to the side your notes are pasted on, or the teacher will eat the leaf
Step 5. After the test, ball up the paper and keep it in your backpack or pocket until you have left the classroom
Step 6. Get rid of the evidence
You can also write on the back of your ID with a pencil. It is difficult to see, but with the right light it will only be visible to you. Once finished, you can easily erase with your thumb
Method 8 of 28: Notes
Step 1. The night before the assignment, write your formulas on the back of a protocol sheet
Step 2. Make sure they are written lightly and in pencil
Step 3. Turn the sheet every time you need a formula
Step 4. Clear the tracks and submit the assignment
Method 9 of 28: Notes
Step 1. Write your notes on the front and back of a few notes
If necessary, study half of the things you need to know, and write down the rest.
Step 2. On exam day, wear a long-sleeved sweatshirt
Slip the cards into one of the sleeves.
Step 3. When the test is in front of you, slide the cards out of your sleeve and slip them onto the second or third page of the test
When you look at the cards, it will appear that you are just checking the next pages of the assignment.
Step 4. When you get to the assignment page with the notes inside, slip them back up your sleeve, and then onto another page
Towards the end of the assignment, put the notes back up your sleeve.
Method 10 of 28: Bottle of Water
Step 1. Get a bottle of water and carefully remove the label that wraps it in the middle
Step 2. If it's still sticky enough, write your notes to copy on the back of the label (the part that sticks to the bottle), or attach the label to a thin sheet of paper with glue or tape on it
Step 3. Reattach the label to the bottle
Step 4. Look through the bottle, at the right angle, and you will be able to read your notes through the water inside
Method 11 of 28: Handkerchief
Step 1. Write the information you need on a handkerchief
Step 2. When in class, put the handkerchief inside the common handkerchief box (if the class has one) before the assignment begins; this works best if the box is at the back of the classroom
Step 3. At some point during the test, go to the box and take out your handkerchief
Step 4. Face the wall and pretend to blow your nose, while in reality you are spying on the answers
Step 5. If too many people use handkerchiefs in class, you can keep the handkerchief in your pocket as an alternative, and blow your nose at the back of the classroom
Then throw the handkerchief in the trash.
Method 12 of 28: Note Paper
Step 1. Use permission to keep note paper by preparing first
Write down your notes, formulas, equations, symbols (or anything else you might need) so you can watch them as you take the test.
Step 2. Make sure to trace very lightly the notes you prepared "during the test", so as not to arouse the professor's suspicions
Method 13 of 28: Dictionary
Step 1. Write the formulas and notes you need in a dictionary, and remember the page numbers
Step 2. Take the dictionary with you on assignment day
Teachers won't go through every single page of your dictionary, so your chances of getting caught are slim.
Step 3. Make sure you don't force the spine of the dictionary too hard as you write your notes, otherwise it will keep opening up on those pages as the professor flips through it
If you want to be really sneaky, force the spine to correspond to pages far away from the ones where you hide your notes.
Method 14 of 28: Covered Sheet
Step 1. Arrange two sheets of paper, one on top of the other
Step 2. Write your notes on the page above, being careful to press hard
After removing the top sheet, the marks of your notes will be visible on the sheet below.
Step 3. Use the fingerprint sheet to copy during the exam
Method 15 of 28: Bianchetto
Step 1. If you face a task where you can use a white-out, use a clean one
Step 2. Slip the answers under the white-out (the clean side), then press firmly on the white-out
Method 16 of 28: Note Paper
Step 1. If you face a task that involves the use of bad papers, write notes on a piece of paper and carefully tuck it under the bad ones
It may help to hide the notebook sheet under a coat or jacket
Step 2. Take the paper and pretend to write on it
Method 17 of 28: Binder
Step 1. Write your notes / formulas or anything else you may need on a sheet of lined paper
Step 2. Put it in your binder on top, so it's the first page
Step 3. When the assignment begins, place it under the desk so you can see it when you look down
Note: Make sure you don't lay the binder upside down
Step 4. Now lean over the binder, et voila
You can see the answers. This method only works if you have a transparent binder.
Method 18 of 28: Twin Folders
Step 1. Get two folders and place them face up on the counter
Step 2. If your teacher is strict, you will have no loopholes
Pretend you've mixed up the folders, and hide your paper or manual in the counter.
Step 3. Pretend to look confused, and put your head on the bench; look at the answers in the folders
Try only when the teacher is facing away.
Method 19 of 28: Notes in the Calculator
Step 1. Write your notes on a note, and place them in the protective case of your calculator
Step 2. When you need them during the test, simply take out the calculator, read the notes and pretend to use the calculator (you probably are really doing this, if the exam includes formulas or the like)
Pay attention to how many times you take the calculator out and put it back in its case. If the teacher is nearby, he may notice his continuous movements. To work around this problem, you can always transfer your notes to the desk, chair or between your legs, but once you do, there will be no going back
Method 20 of 28: Microbills
Step 1. Write your notes on the smallest notes you can
Step 2. Ball it up and stick it under your leg, or put your open hand over it when asked to clear the desk
Step 3. When the test begins, take out the micro-cards and slip them under your paper, so that only one answer is shown at a time
Method 21 of 28: Bookmark
Step 1. If a teacher asks you to bring a book to support the assignment, bring a bookmark with your notes on it
Make sure you hide the bookmark well inside the book. When you're done, you can throw it away to get rid of the evidence, or erase the marks
Method 22 of 28: Page Torn
Step 1. Tear off the page (s) with the information needed for the assignment from your textbook when you are at home
Step 2. The next day, tell your teacher that the piece of paper was torn by your brother, sister or dog
Step 3. When the time comes for the assignment, slip the torn pages under the desk and put them under your feet
Step 4. Look under the counter towards your feet when you need information
Don't stare too long, or the professor might catch you: in this case, there will surely be a price to pay!
Method 23 of 28: Sheet in Hand
Step 1. Take a small sheet of paper, smaller than your palm, and write your notes on it
Step 2. Glue the note to the hand you won't be writing with
Step 3. During the test, raise your hand towards your head and read, or come up with some other movement
Make sure you don't shake your hand too much, or the note will come off.
Method 24 of 28: Bianchetto
Step 1. Write your notes on the page with the pen
Step 2. Use the corrector tape and clear all notes
Step 3. On the day of the test, use an eraser and remove the white out
Step 4. When done, apply the white-out again; scribble a little above so as not to arouse suspicion
Method 25 of 28: Correction Tape
Step 1. Write your notes on the corrector tape, then wrap it around the dispenser
Step 2. When you need the notes, do as if you had to correct mistakes and read the notes
Method 26 of 28: Ruler
Step 1. Write a few notes on the back of the ruler
Step 2. Rotate it to reveal the clipboard
Method 27 of 28: "Test Sheet"
Step 1. Write your name, date etc
on a protocol sheet.
Step 2. Write down all necessary answers
Step 3. Hide the sheet during the test
Step 4. When the assignment sheet is given to you, simply replace it with your own
Method 28 of 28: Business Card Holder
Note: This method only works if you usually have a business card holder with you in class and / or the teacher lets you keep it.
Step 1. Put a piece of paper in the card holder
Leave it blank on one side or write something unsuspecting on it, on the other side write what you will need for the assignment.
Step 2. During the assignment, place the card holder on your lap and read
It helps to know how to read sideways.
Step 3. Always keep an eye on the teacher
If you succeed, memorize the path it takes so you will know if it is approaching.
Step 4. If the teacher approaches, open your legs and drop the card holder so he can't see what's on it
If you are very nervous or are looking at you, close your legs and hide the card holder between your thighs (but beware that you might be conspicuous).
