Our physics teacher told us some methods that pupils have tried, to try and cheat their way through exams over the years. Some of these are quite amusing, and yes these DEFINATLY are true!

1). 2 pupils sitting a chemistry exam enter the exam hall with a wireless ear-piece attached to them, concealed by their long hair. They proceed through the exam unnoticed, as they communicate to each other via various coughing, sniffing, scratching and humming noises. All goes to plan for the students, until the end of the exam when they begin to exit the exam hall looking relieved. The 2 pupils came extremely close to each other when exiting the hall, this resulted in defeaning feedback and they were screaming with pain as they ripped out their ear pieces........right in front of the invigilator.

2). The next story is about a gang of pupils sitting a biology multiple choice exam. Concealed in their pants were vibrators, also hidden in their pockets was a remote control where they would activate another person's vibrator with a succession of clicks depending on the answer. 1 buzz for answer A, 2 for B and so forth. During the exam the invigilators noticed an intriguing chain of events. When a student activated another's vibrator, the invigilators noticed a succession of strange noises across the exam hall.

Strangely enough they happened straight after each other, where they were trying to communicate the answers to each other, sure enough they were caught by the invigilators after question 30.

3). A pupil sitting a physics exam always forgot his formulae and equations, so he decided to get them tattooed onto his arm.

4). Although this is not really cheating, I still find it funny. My teacher said around 15 years ago, a student was taking a German written exam, he hadn't revised at all a week before the exam and decided to pack it all into one night of revision. With a good helping of diet Pepsi, coffee and 'brain foods' such as bananas and castor oil, he managed to complete his revision and was confident he was going to pass with flying colours.

Before the exam, he was fatigued with having virtually no sleep but he still rode it through. He proceeded through the exam with confidence, but whilst he was writing, all of the ingredients: the castor oil and caffeen combined in his bowels and produced a laxative effect. Sure enough, a strange scent could be smelled, he had literally shat his pants. LOL.

Some of these may sound incredibly idiotic, but I can assure these are true, we were in disbelief at first, but another teacher confirmed the stories!

Theres a lesson to be learned here: Castor oil and caffeen do not mix!

Shep.
