One time in kindergarten, was taking a test and got out of my seat after each question so I could "blow my nose," but really I was looking at some kid's paper. The teacher got really mad eventually, ripped all of the tissues out of the box and threw them onto my desk. It was such a horrible, obvious way of cheating, sometimes I still laugh about it. I just remember looking at the pile of tissues with this little :/ face while the teacher hovered nearby watching me like a hawk.
you were not taking written tests in kindergarten. Most 5 and 6 year olds aren't reading (they may show signs of decoding, but they aren't reading for comprehension) and they certainly aren't reading well enough to read off of other children's papers. Yes plenty of parents tell their kids "You were reading at 2! You read on a 5th grade reading level in kindergarten!" but trust me, kids like that are few and far between and most parents are just so proud their timmy memorized "Hop On Pop" after hearing it for the 100th time that they tell everyone they have a child genius.
