Academic Cheating Methods
Share
Shaan shares stories about his innovative cheating methods throughout his academic career.
"In 5th grade reading program, I organized a syndicate. I realized I wasn't going to read 32 books and win, but I had 10 friends. If we each read 3 books, we could get to the 30 bookmark and all win. We would all just take the test for each other. I won, but the teacher called my mom to let her know I had cheated. My mom couldn't have been prouder.
For math tests, they used to give us a TI-83 calculator. My buddy, who was smarter than me, would take the test before me and type all the answers into the calculator under the Y equals sign button. I would simply open that up, fill in the answers, and go on my way.
Sam adds: "We used to take the labels off Dasani water bottles, write the answers and cheat sheet on the back of the label, then put the label back on. That's where the answers were. That deserves an A just for that."
