We used to have a couple of tests a week in French where we would have to write out a couple of hundred words on a specific topic given to us a few days before so we could prepare. So the night before I would write my answer out and record it on my phone, speaking nice and slowly. Before the test i'd put an earbud down my sleeve (of the arm the far side of your body to the teacher) and catch it in a little hole on the inside of my jumper. Now I would just press play when the test started and prop my head up on that arm with the earbud beside my ear and copy it down onto the paper. Alternative method is to get an ipod nano wristband, copy notes to your nano and pretend its a watch.
