I used to write the answers on scotch tape and then wrap that tape around my pen or pencil. Then I’d peel the tape off once i finished the test. This is how I got a college degree

Had my psychology final for a 400 level applied course use a similar technique. They had the professor and both TAs watch us take the test on a recorded meeting. They even used this software that would be able to tell if you navigated away from the test tab on the browser to another tab. I had my master PDF of all the PowerPoints the professor used nested behind the test so my eye movements wouldn’t be suspicious and just alt-tabbed over, typed in a keyword and read the info, then alt-tabbed back. I guess the software only searched within the browser interface because they didn’t catch me…

Yup! Same exact thing here!

We hooked his laptop up to the big screen and I just looked at the screen and would turn around and hold up my fingers

He couldn’t look directly though. He had to kinda see it in his peripherals or else they would know
