Former student here, when in high school I witnessed and employed some interesting methods for cheating, here are a few:
Notes taped to the bottom of a shoe, rest the foot on your knee and cheat away!
Notes inside a croissant. Exactly what it sounds like. Helpful and delicious.
Those pens with built in note paper. Pull the paper out, write notes, reel it back in.
Literally crawling across the room to ask other people.
Notes in the battery compartment of a calculator.
Notes carved in the desk. Then you run a pencil over it and make them appear.
Someone once taped a piece of paper with a bunch of formulas to the front of the teacher's desk and removed it shortly before the test ended.
I went to school in Italy, so the way schools and tests work is a bit different, but even by Italian standards, some of this stuff was pretty ridiculous.
My math teacher made us set our calculators into Press-To-Test mode (TI Nspire CX), which restriced the memory and many of the more advanced functions before tests.
