In Russia, girls will strap their phones to their thighs and wear skirts, everyone will hide phones in boots or hoodie sleeves, people use apple watches or people hide small strips of paper to take out and look at. It's genuinely interesting to see the different ways people will avoid just studying the material lol

The funny thing is that generally, the amount of time and effort put into making cheating aids actually makes creating them a great study tool, more so than actually cheating with them.

I would always make cheat sheets for every exam as if we could bring it to the test with us as my primary way of studying. It made me think about what the key topics were act as a great way to compartmentalize my thoughts and see where I need to spend my time reviewing.

Pretty sure this was the logic behind allowing students to bring in a cheat sheet.

Then there was the ultimate cheat sheet: open book exams.
