- Wear a short-sleeved shirt. The whole point of cheating is to give yourself a leg up, and you’ll be able to clearly see your notes by doing this. Besides, wearing a hoodie to cover the writing on your arm would only make it seem more sus.
- Sit in the front row. This way, you’ll be able to throw your TAs off. They will whisper amongst themselves, thinking “if she wanted to cheat, why wouldn’t she sit in any other one of the 50 rows available?” This is guaranteed to buy you extra time.
- Give yourself a mullet and put an AirPod in not one, but both ears. Make sure to blast the recording of the essay you pre-wrote last night at full volume to ensure that you can hear yourself clearly. Bonus points if you can use the giga-sized Apple AirPods Max in the green or pink colors. This will help make cheating wayyyy more subtle.
- Discuss your take-home exam right outside of Butler. Deemed as one of the quietest places on campus that’s furthest away from any freshman dorm, freaking out at this spot will decrease the likelihood that one of your opps can report you to your professor. Besides, take-home exams are basically your professor’s way of encouraging collaboration in and outside of the classroom!
- If you’re a math major, put your iPhone behind a sexy, hot-pink Ti-84 and take a photo of the problems assigned. Don’t worry, Photomath will do the rest. Oh, and make sure to use flash to get the highest quality image possible.
- If you’re an American Politics major, write the 1st and 14th amendment on your arm in black ink. Extra kudos if you manage to legibly squeeze in the diagram of how the legislative, executive, and judicial branch are able to check each others’ power, cuz that one’s a real toughie. If this fails, you can easily play it off as a tattoo—just say that you really, really care about your constitutional rights, duh!
