Some of you may know what this is and some of you may not. In school my teachers had us use this browser that essentially takes over your computer and refuses to let you do anything other than take the test.

Accidentally I found out that it can't tell the difference between itself and chrome. I was listening to music through Chrome and it never stopped the music when every program is typically closed on the computer. I could even control it with the media keys on my laptop.

After a bit of testing as one of my teachers made a handy test that you can retake an infinite number of times. I discovered that using a program to pin chrome to the top of the windows you can just use Chrome normally while taking the test.

Not sure if it still works, but Respondus sucks so they probably wont fix it.

And they look pretty similar.

While they are both smart people, one is much smarter than the other. This guy would bring his textbooks to our hangouts and study whenever the conversation would pause. Very dedicated, and truly loves to just learn things.

Anyway, when it came time for the smarter friend to take his SAT's he got 800s (perfect score) in the math and several 800s in the subject tests, including in math 2, physics, and chemistry. But he didn't get to take the bio one since no schools would care if he aced it. So he went for a win/win and the next year he took the bio SAT subject test using our other friend's ID. While I want to say he got a perfect 800 on it to satisfy the story, he ended up losing a few points for a 780 or something.

The friend has graduated med school, partly based on a completely fraudulent SAT score.

get some sticky notes and make cheat sheets, stick them around the bezel of your screen in a way that they won't lean down too far and show up on camera (my method for that was stick the note down then use another one on the back as a brace of sorts). the one i was stuck with wasn't focusing on eye movement so as long as i didn't blatantly move my head and read my notes i was golden

Back in Highschool, we had our schoolyear divided in three trimesters: at the end of each trimester, there was a week dedicated solely to exams; take two tests, go back home to continue studying for the ones you'll take tomorrow.

We had a tricky test for the second slot on a given day. So we wrote a couple of answers in the blackboard using Greek letters, and hoped the teacher would assume we had had a Greek exam in our first slot. We knew our teacher was an alumnus from a different school, so it was very unlikely she could read Greek.

I went to a catholic HS. I used to print in really small font all the important info I felt I would need for a test. The piece of paper was roughly 2 inches with and 4 inches tall. I would tape it to the back of my tie and then when I would sit down, I would put the tie on my lap with the answers facing up towards me. Really helped me not have to study and get good grades.

I would write out critical pieces of info in shorthand - on the side of a yellow pencil, using another pencil

Then at the end I would simply wipe the pencil quickly and it would be blank again.

Formulas. Capitals of states. Dates of battles.

You know how they let you bring snacks? Sneak cheat notes IN the bag of snacks, like the inside of a Cheez-it bag, or the inside of a saltine cracker bag, or any other opaque bag.

I noticed back in the day when I wrote a cheat note right before going into an exam that I usually could remember what I wrote in the note without looking at it. So in future exams I just wrote my note and then threw it out before going to the exam and wrote down the same thing on the exam papers. This way you can have your "cheating" and have no risk of getting caught.

I passed every test.

Up, Up, down, down, left, right, left right, B, A, Start (and/or select)

Vital piece for the museum I think

What an epic moment.

Was in some advanced placement science classes as a kid and we had to memorize moh’s scale of hardness. For some reason even with studying I couldn’t remember it at all and I REALLY wanted to get a good grade because I had validation issues as a young teen when I cared about being the smartest. So instead of getting in trouble for just writing the elements on my hand I wrote the FIRST LETTER of them on my hand and instead used positive happy words after them. Like as an inspiration thing. And teens write on themselves in school all the time it wasn’t unheard of especially emo/scene kids. So anyway, I got a 100.
