In first grade we had these bags tied to the side of our school desks. We kept pencils, glue, and junk in there. I put my cheat sheet for the spelling test in there. I would make sure the teacher was not looking then sneak a peek at my cheat sheet. Well, I eventually got busted on the next spelling test. Brought a teacher's note home to my dad and I got a pretty good whipping.

In College I was studying for my Microbiology final with this one gal. At the end of her studying she ran and made a copy of an old Microbiology final from years past. I said thanks and took it. There was always old tests floating around and I never wasted time with them. I did not see the point in reviewing old test questions from 5 years ago. After finals the girl is waiting for me outside our class room. She has the biggest smile ever and runs up to me and hugs me. She said I made a 100. The old test was the actual final. She said WTF when I told her I did not even look at it. I went back to my dorm thinking "no way." And yep, when I looked at the old test it was the actual final. I was kicking myself all semester break.

That's not cheating, though. That's just taking advantage of a lazy professor.

Fifth grade, states and capitals test.

Was stumped and could tell it would run through recess. One kid got in trouble for talking and was told he had to stay inside for recess. I knew my teacher had duty.
Bingo, I got in trouble so I could stay in too. We looked up the answers and aced the test while everyone was outside.

I programmed equations I was supposed to memorize into my TI-89 in high school.

Wrote little notes to myself on the desk that would have no meaning to anyone but myself. Used this for rote memorization type shite like dates, names, etc.

Basically I always hated memorizing stuff for the sake of memorization and would find ways to get around having to spend hours going over it. Was always better at conceptual type learning

My high school calculas and trig teacher only pulled problems from tests for finals.

I would type every question with all steps into my computer and transfer it into a calculator. I then kept a dummy calculator for her to check before the test.

I'd pull out the old one and start scrolling. You copy at 100% accuracy and you make a 96 or so from human error.

I admitted to it graduation night.

I cheated on a Chem 1202 exam at LSU once. One of the guys I lived in the dorms with had the same class and would always help me study. I had struggled all year, and I knew the Final was going to be difficult. Before the exam I asked if he could help me out on the final, and he agreed. Super nice guy.

Well come exam day the Professor handed out the exams, and they were test A and test B style. We had to pass the exams down the row, iso He took A and I grabbed the next A under the B. Ended up making an A on the final, and I think I copied 10-15 answers from his Scantron.

Final grades are about to be released and I knew I was border line C/B even with the A on the final, so I emailed the professor to see if he could help me out. I told him that I clearly knew all the material since I was able to Ace the final exam, and that a B would really help my overall GPA. He bumped to a B. #Winning

I've never cheated. Carry a 3.5 currently in PETE.

Story: Two days ago in Rao's final I pause to collect my thoughts and have that distinct feeling one gets when someone is peering over your shoulder. I turn to my right and a classmate of mine is shamelessly staring at my exam. I gaffed, finding it more amusing than anything. They apologized via text message later.

Never cheated.

Our geology prof would drop off the tests. Leave the class, and we'd turn the tests into him in his office when we were done.

It was understood that you didn't cheat.

Only once and it was a college class. Teacher purposefully made the test misleading and difficult with expectations that no one would likely make higher than a low B. The guy would tell us that he took his own test and missed 3 of them. He would round up based on the average so you could literally go from an F to a B if he made a test impossible. First time I had a class of his I barely got rounded up to a B. Second time taking him I found out he used the same tests every single year and a guy gave me the answers, which was also skewing the curve. It was either snitch, have a flawed curving system determine my grade (cheaters were making much higher grades), or join in. I would put a seriously light mark on my scantron and then just miss 5-6 on purpose to give myself a B. Rounded up to an A. I don't feel bad. It was my last semester and I had A's in every single class, which was a goal I had set. I wasn't going to miss out on it hoping the a-hole would curve my grade that high.

I used to write formulas and words in light pencil really small on my desk.

I also in Hishschool would have the cheat sheets inside of my student ID and act like I was nervously chewing on it.

I would write so small that you needed reading glasses or great vision to see it.

I got caught letting a dude from Jamaica cheat off me during a multiple choice test. It was dumb on my part, but I was young and couldn't refuse. Luckily, the professor just made me retake the test.
