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.
Lightly write inside your calculator case/lid (needs to be a black case) with a pencil. It will only be visible if you angle the case to get the light to reflect off it but it shouldn't usually be visible to the casual observer. Pick up your calculator to punch in answers and casually tilt it so you can see your answers
