3
Slowly and silently slide the piece of paper bit by bit out of your sleeve.
- Never totally remove the paper from you sleeve. Only pull out enough to reveal the information you need.
- This method is much easier if you are near the back of the class.

Tape the cheat-sheet into the hood of your hoodie on the day of the test.

Hat Method

1
Write down the test notes and answers on a piece of paper. Place the notes inside your hat.
2
Wear the hat to class on the day of the test.
3
During the test, take off your hat to adjust your hair. While doing so, look inside your hat for the notes. The hat will obscure your notes from your teacher and other students.
- Keep in mind that many schools have rules against nonreligious headwear, and even if it is allowed, it may not be in that particular classroom or for a test. Find out your school's policy on this.

Skirt Method

1
Wear a layered ruffled skirt to class.
2
The night before the test, write down the answers to the test in the layers of your skirt. Note: Be careful what you use to mark your skirt. You want to use something light. And, of course, you don't want to use anything permanent.
- Write small!
3
Look at your notes by pretending to be smoothing out your skirt.
4
When you get home after the test, bleach your skirt before it stains.

Belt Method

1
Make sure you have a belt, and cut out a piece of paper slightly shorter than the height and width of the belt, and about 6-10 inches (16-26 centimeters) long.
2
Write out all of your notes on the piece of paper (one side only), then attach it to the inside of your belt.
3
On the day of the test, make sure you are wearing the belt, and that it is relatively loose.
4
When you want to read the notes, simply suck in your stomach, and read from the inside of your belt. This may work better if you tuck in your shirt beforehand, so that it does not seem odd that you are lifting up your shirt.

Write some study notes on a small piece of paper and slip it under a wristband.

- You can even ask to go to the bathroom and look at them in there.
3
Make sure that the paper is not sticking out!

1
Write your notes on a piece of paper. Note cards are recommend since they don't crinkle or bend.
2
Put your notes in your hoodie pocket.
3
Sit behind someone so that your are obscured from the teacher's view.
4
Try not to take too long; teachers likely notice who finishes last and especially if the student does surprisingly well given that it took them so long to complete it (for the excuse "I was being careful and taking my time" can only work so many times). They're bound to get suspicious.

Bracelet Method
Download Article
1
If you manage to get your hands on an answer sheet before the test, make yourself a bracelet with different colors of string. It'll look like one of those knotted friendship bracelets, but match each color to a letter and you'll be all set.
- For example if A: Green, B: Yellow, and C: Pink if the answers were B, C, A, A, B then it would go yellow, pink, green, green, yellow.
- This method works for multiple choice tests only.

If you wear glasses take a piece of paper, write your notes on it, fold it up and hide it in the hinge. When you need them take off your glasses and take the paper and unfold it. If the teacher asks what you're doing say your hinge has a gap and is 'uneven' and you're adjusting the paper.
2
When you are done, fold it back up, put it back and continue.
3
Throw out the paper later on.
