Now thats a BIG NO
Whenever I wrote anything on my palm or arm or something, I found I could remember the little note or equation, rendering cheating pointless.

Interesting new revision method, though.

I never cheated on any exams, but I remember soooo many people in my language courseworks during GCSE, people used to take a dictionary before the teacher came in, and write on small pieces of paper scattered throughout it, so they could copy it down [and make some deliberate mistakes] and it seem completely innocent.

Absolutely no way. I'd feel so guilty and would rather enjoy the feeling of getting a good grade after working really hard honestly.
I would not, and have not cheated in an important exam like at GCSE or A-Level.

I kind of cheated in German coursework related to the final grade... we had to write a 300 word essay from memory in one hour under exam conditions. I have a really bad memory and as this was the second and final attempt for this coursework that had to be submitted, i decided to write the whole essay out in size 4 font and smuggle it in to copy it.... Noone knew that i did it. Oh well. It was still my own work. :rolleyes:
I have my methods :ninja:

I've cheated in exams when I was at school.

Just don't get caught. - if you can pass without cheating, then don't do it.

A really clever girl at my school cheated by sticking sheets to under the chair.

There was only like one exams officer so she looked at the sheet when the officer wasnt looking. She got away with it too.
Pretend you have the flu on that day. Each tissue has a small encrypted answer. You'll be seen as using tissues to blow your nose only. If you do get caught, you can pretend the carefully worded messages are encouragement for flu victims. They'll suspect you then but can't prove anything.

This plan is perfect.
No I never cheated...I would never dare!!!

Renders it rubbish when the notes say "Ionic bonding is when..." Real encouraging. What I heard someone do was put like notes under their hair (if they had really long hair and a lot of it). I wouldn't cheat though, any notes I have written on my hand I usually never need.
My friend use to write coded messages on his arms. To anyone else, they looked liked chilidish scribbles. Quite clever really, although the time he spent inventing his code he could have spent revising.

No never have never will. I'd feel far too guilty! and I'd worry constantly about getting caught! There's no point, the feeling of achievement through hard work is much better :smile:

I just write a few things on my palm. No-one will notice a quick glance.
I haven't and wouldn't. I'd be too scared I'd get caught.

Replace the word ionic with cherries, and bonding with eating. Have a message like eat more cherries and you'll get so and so to get better. It will look like a genuine self-encouragement message to get better, but to you alone, the message can be read as an answer.
