Cheating in School: Part 1

Being a high school student, tests are a pain in the butt. They can sometimes appear out of nowhere and honestly, no one likes them. That's why people often cheat on them. Personally, I don't like cheating on tests and exams but, according to a 2005 research study, around 70% of students admitted to cheating. I can honestly say that is probable, as students of my age often like to take the easy way out when it comes to working hard and achieving goals.

Of course, students of all ages have mastered several techniques over the years. Apparently, some of these techniques include writing on their thumbnails, printing fake labels on water bottles and even using glasses with cameras in them to feed to someone outside the test room in order for them to give you the answers through a headset. That last one is a little complicated so I could only see people doing that in the most extreme of situations, like a mid-term or final exam. All these techniques leave the question, if all these students have the time to create these innovative ways of cheating, why can't they pass their tests?

Pretty simple enough. I don't see why this student had to write this down...

Now in all my past attempts of cheating, it has never gone well. Most times I just simply got caught and had to either redo my test or fail it outright. By the way, I only cheated in grade school. With all my past experiences, I learned that it's probably better if I don't cheat in high school. Anyways, most of the time when I cheated I would just hide little notes with answers on them. Obviously, this isn't the most innovative cheating technique ever made but, it had a decent success rate. I would hide them in my books and take them out when I was really unsure of certain answers. I should've just studied.
