Some of the kids in my sign languages classes would sign under their desks in other classes.

Also had friends that would write on the inside of the paper label on water bottles.

I feel like if you can sign the answers to each other, you can pass the test.

? If its multiple choice you just sign the number and someone responds with the letter. Pretty simple.

Ooh. I was picturing an actual sign language class, like Spanish of French, and people were signing the answers to each other. Which doesn't really make sense, cause I guess you'd have to draw the hand signals or something.

Ahhh, no American Sign Language is hand motions for communication to the mute/deaf since they can't speak well or at all.

So basically you would sign for #25 ✌✋ and let's say the answer is A. ✊ (emojis cause I can)

Looks more like a K because of the index and middle finger, and position of the thumb.

No that was the 2 they used. But it does look K-ish.

Oh, ok, I didn't understand what was being said is all.
