Math can be hard. If you get overwhelmed and decide to turn to cheating, this may work for you.
Method 1 of 5: Calculator Method
1Write a program the day before the test. Make sure it has all of your notes. (Or, you can put them in the Y= section. You could even (if you know how) put the notes in another section (T= etc) so that the teacher cannot easily find it.) Refer to it when you are stuck on the test. Not only will you have all your notes handy, but typing your notes will help you remember.Ad
Method 2 of 5: Cell Phone Method
Method 3 of 5: Tapping Method
1Find a friend. This should ideally be someone who isn't very far from you and someone who knows the subject well.
2Make a tapping code. For example, tap 5 times for number 5. If it's a number like 2647, tap your pencil on the desk 2 times, pause for about 3 seconds, and then tap it 6 times and so on. Practice to make sure you both master the code.
Method 4 of 5: Pen Method
1Get a pen that you can unscrew for removing and replacing ink cartridges.
2Write math notes on a sheet of paper. Make sure that the paper can be rolled up tightly; it will need to fit inside the pen.
3Unscrew the pen, remove the ink cartridge, roll your paper, and slide it in the pen. This will keep the notes safe and will give you easy access to the notes.
4Unscrew the pen and pull out your notes when needed. Be sure to do so discreetly!
5Once finished using the ink-less pen, take the notes out, throw them away, and replace the ink cartridge. If you throw the notes away in the classroom, shred the paper to make sure it is not read.
Method 5 of 5: Other Methods
1Try pretending to scratch your head while looking next to you. By having your hand and arm to your head, the teacher won't see your eyes shifting to someone's paper.
2Get a bit of paper before the test. Write all the formulas, cheats, and etc on it. Slip the piece of paper into the bottom of your shoe. Keep your shoe loose. Whenever you get stuck on a question slip off your shoe and look at the cheats paper.
3Write formulas near you. This could include clothing, your desk, the cover of your calculator, or your hand. You could also try wearing shorts or a skirt and writing the formulas just above the line that your shorts cover. Lift them slightly if you get stuck, and then cover them backAd
- Don't tap your pencil the whole class period.
- Studying is the best way to do well on a test! Your friend can tell you the answer but remember—on most math tests you have to explain your work.
- Remember, they teach you the math, but they test you on the exceptions. Always remember 0 and 1 whenever you encounter true/false questions.
- Don't tap too loudly; the teacher will get suspicious.
- It may not work so you should study too and use this as a back up plan.
- If you are reading this right now and taking the time to look this up, you might as well study so that you don't get caught. It takes just about the same time and effort.
- In harder math tests, answers are like "5y-7b" so this method won't work here. Also, this is ineffective if you have to draw graphs.
- Cheating all the time can ruin your future.
- Remember that cheating on a test is prohibited by all teachers, and being caught can cause you to lose your test or a grade reduction.
