    At some point in my life I want to write a long article about how I optimised every aspect of making a cheat sheet. But the main thing is that You can make it on clear adhesive tape and stick it on a Bic Orange pen. I had 6 of these pens on me, one in hand and 5 tucked under my watch strap. All numbered and a table of content placed on the face of the watch.

      That is so clever and enterprising. Though it does seem like a lot of work, and you still risk being caught.

      My cheating method was foolproof and completely undetectable. See, in the days leading up to the exam, I would look up the answers in the textbook the teacher foolishly provided us at the beginning of the semester. If the answers weren’t there, they’d be in the secret notes I had taken while the teacher was yapping in class days before, clueless they were basically telling us everything that would be on the exam later lol. All I had to do was read those notes the night before, then I could walk in empty-handed and take the exam with no one the wiser that I already knew all the answers!

      I bet after those high-effort cheat sheets you memorized the materials anyway haha.

      I used to put notes into my TI-83. It was hard enough to convert the formulas into a calculator-friendly format that I usually memorized it and didn’t need to check them any more.

        No, that would miss the point. I wrote the text together with a couple of friends. A few chapters each. I read 80 percent of the cheat sheet until writing the exam.
